How does the parking sensor work?
The parking sensor works by installing the sensors on the vehicle’s rear bumber. The sensors are powered by splicing into the reverse brake lights. When the vehicle is put into reverse, the system turns on.
The sensors detect objects that are in the path of the reversing vehicle. If an object is detected, the driver is warned by either an audible beeping or both an audible beeping and a visual dispaly.

What is the effectiveness of the sensors in detecting a moving object, where movement is in any direction in relation to the vehicle?

there are two types of sensor sonar and radar. both continuously send out a detection “wave” to see the object. kind of like the way a bat sees. if anything is within the range of detection it will sense it will alarm you by showing you with display (optional) and by a quickening series of beeps as you get closer to the object. Most units only work in reverse but we do have a product that will actually tell you if there is something in front of you as well behind you.
