Does your car have a backup camera? If it does you probably love the convenience and added safety it offers. If you’re looking to level up, a 360-degree camera offers even more visual of your surroundings than a standard backup camera (think “bird’s-eye view”). Although this feature is more expensive, it offers an extra level of safety to your vehicle. Our Toyota of Clermont experts are here with all the info you need to decide whether cars with 360 camera are something you should consider.
What is a 360-Degree Car Camera?
So, what exactly is a 360-degree car camera and what can it do? This technology combines multiple camera angles around your vehicle to offer an overhead view of the car and your surroundings. This is extremely helpful when parking your car, especially if you are backing in or parallel parking. Additionally, you can be alerted and get a true visual on objects and people within your vicinity - preventing a lot of potential accidents.
Important 360-Degree Camera System Features
Cars with 360 camera will get a top down image of the vehicle and its immediate surroundings.
Split screen view allows you to view what’s going on behind your vehicle, alongside the other camera angles the vehicle offers. (extra useful when parallel parking your Clermont vehicle)
The proximity alert feature will allow you to course correct before an accident or collision. You can see exactly where a person or object is near your vehicle.
This is also a great feature when off-roading!
Big cars with 360 camera are at a huge advantage when it comes to safety. It’s helpful to park and keep an eye on smaller vehicles around you.
How 360-Degree Cameras Work
What exactly goes into creating that perfect overhead view? At least 4 cameras (sometimes more) will come into play:
Rearview camera
Right-view camera in passenger side mirror
Left-view camera in driver side mirror
Grille forward view camera
The vehicle then uses software to combine all those views into one cohesive birds-eye view shot - kind of like a drone image. This image will be displayed on your Clermont Toyota vehicle’s display screen.

If you’re wondering whether or not you can add a 360-degree camera into your Clermont Toyota vehicle, the answer is yes. However, aftermarket systems don’t always perform as well as our factory-installed systems. Factory-installed systems are tailored to each vehicle’s specifications, and aftermarket systems are not. Typically, they will come with a standard 4 cameras, cables, a control box, and possibly a display screen/remote control. Another factor to consider is the cost of installation - ranging anywhere from $300-$500 on top of the cost of the system itself!
