Best Parking Sensors: Park You Car Easily and Safely

This parking radar system includes eight ultrasonic sensors, a digital control box, and an LED display. It ensures secure and easy parking by emitting a beeping sound as a warning and by displaying your distance from an object, which helps prevent collisions. It comes with a detailed user's manual.

The unit is easy to install using a drill head to drill a hole on the bumper of your car. The closer you get to an object (i.e., a wall), the more frequent the beeping sound becomes. It has a selection of eight weatherproof sensors in a variety of colors: black, red, gray, white, deep red, champagne gold, blue, and silver. It also comes with a three-year warranty.

One problem with this product is the detection range is small, so if you reverse at high speeds, you may hit an obstacle. Also, the beeping sound is loud and annoying for some people. In addition, the supplied cables are not long enough for some vehicles.

This all-in-one kit sits on your car's dashboard, so it's easier to see. The LED screen is clear and visible and has three basic colors that let you know how close you are to a nearby vehicle.

It operates off a fast CPU chip that is rated to detect objects up to eight feet away. Since the sensors themselves are going to be outside their entire life, they have been treated with weather-resistant technology that allows them to work in freezing temperatures and hotter climates as well. The kit is also rated at between 10V and 16V.

The sensor is quite delicate and may even detect smaller obstacles that may not pose as much of a danger. However, to some drivers, this can be seen as a blessing. The sensors may also not be the most durable, and their rubber housing may come loose or deteriorate over time.

This parking sensor system includes four sensors that you install on the rear bumper. It comes with a double CPU and an advanced chipset for added obstacle detection. Its LED display has three colors (green, red, and yellow) that show the distance between your vehicle and an obstacle.

This reverse radar system can detect small children and low walls. It's very durable and made of high-quality materials to make it last longer. The reverse parking sensors have protective circuits to keep it from overheating or overloading. It's also weatherproof, so it holds up in a variety of conditions, including freezing temperatures.

However, the supplied wire is not long enough to install the system in a big truck. Also, its beep warning may be too loud, which is also common with rival products. In addition, the colors may not be an accurate distance indicator.

The universal kit includes an easy mounting bracket with two sensors. Both sensors provide a wider range of protection while parking any car and can detect up to 5 1/2 feet away.

The sensors can be easily mounted on the license plate. It works by alerting the driver with loud beeps as the vehicle gets closer to objects. Starting at the 5 1/2 foot mark, the alarm beeps faster as the object gets closer to the sensor. The sensor blends in seamlessly with the rear of your car.

However, the speaker cable may be too short for longer trucks and cars. You may also need to drill a few holes near the license plate to run wiring through to the cab or dashboard as well, but this won’t necessarily be on all vehicles.

The Frostory Car Reverse Backup Parking Sensor Radar System is a modern-looking device set at a reasonable price. Each of the four sensors has a lengthy range and can detect other cars, people, and objects up to eight feet away. The speaker is loud, too. 

If you want to go for different colored sensors, the kit is available in four colors so you can mix and match them with your vehicle. The sensors are water-resistant and can withstand all types of weather no matter the temperature. They have an operating temperature between minus 40 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

However, the instructions may not be all that helpful if you are installing the kit yourself. You may be better off watching a video online or having a professional install everything. There have also been reports that the volume switch may not always work.

The STKR Concepts Adjustable Garage Parking Sensor Aid is compact and set at a low price. It’s a great device to hook up in your garage, or anywhere you may park at home.

Instead of audibly beeping as you get close to an object, this sensor flashes from green to yellow and red to let you know how close you are—think of it as a stoplight. It uses ultrasonic radar to detect vehicles that are between 6 feet and 6 inches.

While it may not be a component you can take with you by installing it on your vehicle, this sensor works great for the home. The sensor doesn’t have any sort of audible sound alert. It sticks to the wall with tape, but it may not be the strongest and can fall off with time, so you may want to consider using another adhesive to secure it better.

This kit comes with a set of four compact and lightweight sensors that blend in with your vehicle no matter where they are placed. Each is made out of a durable ABS material. They work a little bit like the 360-degree cameras on newer model cars.

One of the great things about these sensors is that they are easy to swap out. Due to their lower price, if one fails, you can just pop it out like you were changing a lightbulb. They are long-lasting and work for several vehicles such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Dodge Charger, RAM trucks, and more.

There is no camera included with the parking sensors, so you will need to have one already mounted in your car. Also, these sensors don’t have an audible tone or noise. 

Rather than relying on a homemade parking assist or your own sight, this sensor makes it much easier to park using lasers. By hanging the main unit where it has a clear view of your car, it alerts you when you come into contact with the lasers.

The lasers work by intersecting at one point on the vehicle’s dashboard. Once they cross, an alarm sounds for 45 seconds, alerting that it’s safe to park. Best of all, the laser system can be used for just one car or can be modified to be used with two.

Keep in mind that you will need an empty light bulb hub to install the system properly. It may also not work all that well in smaller garages, as it requires a larger space to be set up correctly.
