Activation

SideMinderTM is activated though the vehicle's indicators. When these are turned on the sensors are powered and look for any objects in their detection paths. If they detect anything then an alarm is sound to alert the driver.

 

SideMinderTM vs. SideViewTM

Do you prefer to let your drivers see what is beside them or warn them if an object is beside them? Both systems are designed to reduce accidents, save money and lives - the choice of solution is yours.
