Do you already have a night vision camera in the front of your car?

Very informative answer. If you do not have it then it is definitely useless for you.

It only warns when the person is directly infront of the car.

I liked the idea to have some warning signals but if it only warns at very close distances then it is not worth to upgrade.

yup looks like that you dont need to see it from the night vision bcoz it was really close before it was detected
