Rearview Mirror Camera Specification Example for Passenger Cars: Vented Design
Rearview Mirror Camera Specification Example for Passenger Cars: Vented Design
This is a worked specification for rearview mirror camera in a vented design programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The vented design version exists because the duty cycle on passenger cars is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a supplier who changed material without saying so.
