Abstract

A WiFi wireless rear view parking system comprises a main body, a camera sensor, a Wifi transmission module, a mobile personal electronic device, and a switch. The main body is installed at a license plate of an automobile. The camera sensor is provided in the main body for sensing images and video of rear regions of the automobile and generating images and video data. The Wifi transmission module transmits the image and video data from the camera. The mobile personal electronic device is for receiving image and video data transmitted by the Wifi transmission module and displaying them. The switch is provided in the display device or the mobile personal electronic device and configured for switching orientation of a view by flipping reverse and non-reverse, wherein the view is displayed on the mobile personal electronic device. The WiFi wireless rear view parking system provides rear view of the automobile to a driver. The mobile personal electronic device includes a smartphone.
