Is Your Backup Camera Pointing Too High or Low?
Are you reversing with a false sense of security because your camera shows the sky or just your bumper? This isn’t an inconvenience; it’s a critical safety failure. Yes, you can fix a misaligned backup camera. The solution often involves a precise physical adjustment of the camera housing. However, if that fails, the problem may be a bent mounting bracket, an internal camera fault, or even a software calibration issue, requiring a more in-depth diagnosis. Incorrect Backup Camera Angles As the founder of VST Tech, I see a backup camera not just as a convenience, but as a life-saving device. When its vision is compromised, its purpose is defeated. A […]
How Do You Adjust Your Backup Camera Angle for a Perfect View?
Tired of guessing what’s behind you? A poorly angled backup camera can create dangerous blind spots. It’s time to get a clear, reliable view for safe reversing. To adjust your backup camera, first determine the ideal view, which should include your bumper’s edge and a wide rear area. Then, physically move the camera lens or its housing. Some systems allow angle adjustments through the infotainment screen. Always test the view before finalizing. Getting that perfect view isn’t just about turning a screw. It’s about understanding what you need to see and why it matters. I’ve spent years at VST Tech perfecting these systems, and I want to share what I’ve […]
How Can a Car’s Blind Spot System Truly See and Protect a Cyclist?
You’re a careful driver, but the fear of a cyclist or pedestrian suddenly appearing in your blind spot is constant. You need more than just another mirror; you need intelligent eyes watching over the most vulnerable road users. Advanced Blind Spot Detection (BSD) systems use a fusion of high-frequency radar and AI-powered cameras1 to not only detect cyclists and pedestrians but also to analyze their movement, predicting their path and providing critical, life-saving warnings before a potential collision. Advanced Blind Spot Detection for Vulnerable Road Users As the founder of VST Tech, I’ve spent my career moving beyond simple detection. A blinking light is useless if it cries wolf. The […]
Are Aftermarket Blind Spot Monitors Truly Worth the Investment? A Deep Dive Analysis
That split-second of panic when you start to merge and a horn blares is terrifying. You need a reliable way to see what’s hidden, but is an aftermarket system a real solution or just a costly gadget? Yes, a high-quality aftermarket blind spot monitor1 is one of the most valuable safety investments2 you can make for a vehicle without a factory-installed system. It provides a massive return by preventing costly accidents, reducing driver stress, and fundamentally improving your situational awareness in all driving conditions. Worthwhile Investment in Blind Spot Safety As the founder of VST Tech, my mission is built on one core belief: safety technology should be effective and […]
What Are The Best Blind Spot Detection Systems for SUVs and Commercial Vans in 2025?
Driving a large vehicle means constantly worrying about what you can’t see. That nagging uncertainty before every lane change can be exhausting. The right technology can transform that stress into confidence. The best systems in 2025 use 77GHz millimeter-wave radar, which offers superior object resolution and all-weather reliability. They combine this with advanced signal processing for features like Lane Change Assist (LCA) and intelligent alerts that prevent false alarms, ensuring maximum safety for large vehicles. As the founder of VST Tech, I’ve spent my career pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in automotive safety. We don’t just sell products; we solve complex engineering problems. The difference between a basic blind […]
BSM vs. RCTA: Are They Truly Different Safety Technologies?
Feeling secure with your car’s safety features, but unsure about what they actually do? This false confidence can be dangerous, especially when you can’t see what’s lurking just out of view. Yes, they are fundamentally different. A Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) uses radar to watch adjacent lanes while you drive forward. Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)1 uses the same radar but with different logic to watch for crossing traffic specifically when you are reversing. BSM and RCTA Radar Coverage Zones As the founder of VST Tech, I’ve spent years in the lab and on the test track perfecting these systems. The user manual gives you the basics, but it doesn’t […]
Can You Really Make Your Older Car Safer with Modern Tech?
Do you love your older car but worry it lacks modern safety features? You see new cars with amazing tech and feel you’re missing out on crucial protection. You can add these systems to the car you already love. Yes, you can absolutely retrofit Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to an older car. Key upgrades like blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warnings, and backup cameras are available as aftermarket kits. This significantly boosts your vehicle’s safety without you needing to buy a new car. Upgrading an Older Car with ADAS I love the character and simplicity of older cars. Maybe you do too. There’s a certain joy in driving a car […]
How Can You Truly Maximize the Reliability of Your BSD System?
That flicker of a warning light on your mirror is your guardian angel in traffic. But what if it fails silently? A compromised Blind Spot Detection (BSD) system can create a false sense of security, which is more dangerous than having no system at all. To ensure maximum reliability, you must go beyond simple cleaning. It involves understanding how radar technology1 works, recognizing its environmental limitations2, and knowing precisely when a professional recalibration3 is not just recommended, but absolutely critical for your safety. Understanding BSD Radar Technology As the founder of VST Tech, I’ve spent my career developing and perfecting these life-saving systems. Our mission is to protect your driving […]
Why is Detecting a Pedestrian the Ultimate Test for Your Car’s Blind Spot System?
The thought of a pedestrian suddenly appearing in your path is a driver’s worst nightmare. In that split second, the technology in your car can mean the difference between a close call and a tragedy. Detecting a pedestrian is the ultimate test because it forces a system to distinguish a vulnerable, unpredictably moving human from a chaotic city backdrop. It demands a sophisticated fusion of different sensor technologies and powerful AI to make a life-or-death judgment in milliseconds. The Complexity of Pedestrian Detection in Urban Settings As the founder of VST Tech, I’ve spent my career working on the edge of automotive safety. I can tell you that making a […]
Radar vs. Camera: Which Type of Blind Spot Monitor is Right for Your Vehicle?
Stressing about that one blind spot every time you change lanes? It’s a common anxiety that can lead to near misses or worse. The right technology can give you peace of mind. For true, all-condition safety, radar-based systems are the superior choice. They work reliably in rain, fog, and darkness. Camera systems offer a visual feed but can fail when visibility is poor, making radar the more dependable technology for protecting your drive. Choosing a safety system for your car feels like a high-stakes decision, because it is. It’s not just about adding a gadget; it’s about adding a layer of protection for you and your passengers. As the founder […]
