 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. The second view on the display switches between front/left/right/rear views depending on the operational conditions. The system is networked between the turn signals, and vehicle reverse so the screen automatically switches to left, right, and rear viewing when turning or backing up. An in-cab toggle switch allows the operator to override the default camera view for complete control over the system.
