Yes. You can get eyes behind your head -- cameras that let you see what is behind you when backing -- or even when parked.
I first saw this idea in the Mechanics Illustrated years ago in its "Inventions Wanted? department which features innovative ideas from readers.
The idea somebody sent in was for a camera to be developed that truckers could put behind their semis to see what was behind them. And now I cameras like this are actually on the market.
Two are currently advertised by a leading Canadian auto supply dealer. One is a "digital wireless backup camera with a dash-mount 4.3inches display and the other one with a 3.5 inches display.
The miniature weather-proof camera is mounted on the rear license plate.
If these cameras give you a wide enough angle of vision they would be great for not only seeing what person is behind you when backing up but also who might be trying to sneak up from you behind.
Definitely worth checking out. Another version of this camera kit has the monitor on one side of the rear-view mirror.
