Aftermarket Back up Sensors

[Ely]

I'm wondering, why would anyone install sensors, when for very little more than that you can have an actual back up camera? I installed a new rear view mirror with a built in 5" screen, and a camera in the back for about 800, and its much more prestigious and effective than plain old sensors. In fact, if your backing up, sensors could easily miss things that are too high or low, it could even miss a child for example.

Maybe its just me, but I just feel a lot more confortable when I can SEE behind me not just listen for a beep. Also, my tv has built in speakers and the yellow, white and red cables come out from under the drivers seat and can be attached to a DVD player or video game system.

What do you guys think?

I might be paranoid, but a few years ago I was riding with my mom driving and she backed up and hit an old lady pedestrian who sued her insurance for 900k+, so spending 800 on a back up camera isn't too bad compared to that haha.
