Radar system for detecting objects in a vehicle's blind spots
PRECO SENTRY is a robust radar safety system designed to detect objects in a vehicle’s rear, front, or side blind spots. It assists the driver when reversing, pulling away, and maneuvering at low speeds, when the risk of collision with people, equipment, or obstacles is highest.
The system uses reliable 24 GHz radar technology capable of detecting both moving and stationary objects. The driver receives audible and visual alerts directly in the cab, which enhances safety in industrial facilities, on construction sites, in quarries, during waste collection, and in logistics operations.
PRECO SENTRY is designed for demanding conditions. It withstands vibrations, impacts, freezing temperatures, snow, heavy dirt, and high-pressure cleaning. Thanks to its adjustable range and detection zone width, it can be tailored to a specific vehicle and type of operation.
