The best parking sensors
Contents:
• Which is better: parking sensors or a rear view camera?
- Rear view cameras help you see clearly what's behind your car, especially for larger vehicles such as SUVs or pickup trucks.
- However, parking sensors are more effective at determining the distance to an object than estimating it by eye through the camera display.
So, if you want maximum control of the situation behind and in front of the car, I recommend taking both your favorite model from the parking sensors rating, and one of best rear view cameras. The parking sensors on the list have good reviews on Yandex.Market, Citylink, Ozon and Wildberries.

• The universal parking radar for a car offers 8 sensors at once, so that you can track obstacles not only in front, but also in the back. The minimum working distance is 30 cm from the obstacle, the maximum is 250 cm. According to the owners of PARKMASTER 238, this parking sensor determines the distance accurately.
• Unlike cheap models, PARKMASTER 238 has the ability to adjust the volume of the sound signal and you can change the minimum distance to respond to obstacles. If necessary, you can paint the sensors in the desired color.
Pros and cons the sensors have self-diagnostics there is a storage of remote elements an auto-complete set for installation, you don’t need to buy anything if there are obstacles from both sides, voice prompts do not always work on time• [nadavi_h2]

- complete set: display, control unit, cutter, connecting cables
- features: indicating the direction of the obstacle
- installation method: mortise
• This good and inexpensive parking radar turns on a sound signal when there is a meter and a half to an obstacle.
• It works in both hot and cold weather (up to -40 °C according to the manufacturer) and indicates the direction of the obstacle on the screen. The display does not take up much space, you can even put it on a mirror. If necessary, the sensors can be sanded with fine sandpaper, painted in the color of the bumper and varnished.
Pros and Cons Shows distance accuratelyEasy to install Sensors may beep when mud or snow sticks to them• [nadavi_h2]

- installation method: mortise
• Inexpensive combined parking sensors, with an IP67 dust and moisture protection rating, long cables (2.5 meters for the rear sensors and 6 meters for the front ones), and an audible alert.
• This model does not have voice guidance, and this is not surprising, given its price. The sound of the device can be turned off completely.
• The AVS PS-128U cannot withstand high temperatures, one of the reviews says that the display mounted on the dashboard cracked in the 30-degree heat. However, for “non-hot” operation in an air-conditioned cabin, it is perfect.
Pros and cons sensors can be painted in the color of the car easy installation the screen does not take up much space it works from wet snow and dirt, you need to clean the sensors from them in a timely manner• [nadavi_h2]

2. DIGMA DCK-110S
- type: parking sensors
- parking sensors type: rear
- type of parking sensors: universal
- working principle: ultrasonic

It is impossible to adjust the sensor sensing distance, like most inexpensive parking sensors, and this is not necessary. The DIGMA DCK-110S sensors work very sensitively, they start beeping from a meter and a half. However, this can be attributed to the minuses if you are going to install parking sensors in front, and not behind.
Pros and cons good build quality shows the distance correctly beautiful design no• [nadavi_h2]
