 The FRC inView 360™ provides the apparatus driver with split screen view. The bird's-eye view is always visible providing a 360 view around the vehicle. This unique view allows the operator to see pedestrians and obstacles in close proximity to the apparatus or vehicle.

An in-cab toggle switch allows the operator to override the default camera view for complete control over the system.
