See More With the Latest in Vehicle Camera Technology From Mercedes-Benz

At Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis, we love helping you find the best cars for the best deals, but we also care about your safety. A recent report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) says “rearview cameras, soon to be standard on all new vehicles, can be expected to prevent nearly 1 in 6 police-reported backing crashes.” In light of this, Mercedes-Benz is already ahead of the pack, including the latest in-vehicle camera technology to help you maintain awareness of your surroundings and stay safe on the roads.* Take a look at some of the latest vehicle camera innovations from Mercedes-Benz:

Rear Park Assist Camera (pictured above)

As mentioned above, a rearview camera is not only vital, it’s soon to be a requirement in all vehicles. Luckily, the rearview camera from Mercedes-Benz is top of the line. Simply shift the vehicle into reverse, and the screen automatically displays the rearview video. Not only does it feature crystal clear, full-color video displayed on an in-dash, high-definition LCD screen, it also features colorful animated guidelines to help you properly angle your reverse as seen below.

Surround View Camera

Parallel parking no longer has to be intimidating with the available Surround View Camera. When activated, the vehicle uses combined video from multiple external cameras to create a top-down birds-eye-view, making parking in the city a breeze.

Night View Assist PLUS

This feature uses night vision technology to make the road and objects visible when driving at night. The system uses a special infrared camera to display a supplemental view of the dark road ahead. It can point out objects in the road, and it can even direct the vehicle's active full-LED headlights directly at the objects automatically.

Not only do Mercedes-Benz models offer cutting-edge camera technology, but they also offer an array of high tech active and passive safety features. Just like the cameras mentioned above, you really have to see them all to appreciate how far car safety has come over the years. We have many new models, all with a wide range of available features, so visit our showroom or contact us to schedule a test drive and experience it for yourself. Stay safe out there!
