Mercedes-Benz Trucks has replaced its traditional rearview mirrors with the MirrorCam camera system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The camera system provides better visibility for a driver. With the system, a driver doesn\u2019t need to look as far to the right or to the left to see traffic to the rear; rearview mirrors cover larger areas to the right and left of a truck\u2019s A-pillar causing more obstructed views.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When maneuvering in tight bends or turns, the MirrorCam can swivel the image of the mounted camera toward the inside of the bend so the driver always has the end of the trailer in view. With regular mirrors, the driver can lose sight of the end of a trailer when turning corners.<\/span><\/p>\n

MirrorCam\u2019s improved aerodynamics can reduce fuel consumption. The camera system\u2019s optimized wind resistance can result in up to 1.5 percent less fuel used.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dirt and rain can cause issues for regular rearview and side windows. MirrorCam isn\u2019t as affected by dirt and rain due to its high position on the vehicle, the small roof placed above the camera lens, and the digital transmission of the image that\u2019s displayed in the truck\u2019s cab. Additionally, the camera will automatically heat when exposed to temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

To help see images at night, the camera system features a high light transmission; the display shows an image that\u2019s brighter than natural light. And the system\u2019s brightness will adjust to any current light conditions. If needed, the brightness of the right-hand and the left-hand display can be adjusted differently.<\/span><\/p>\n
