Product Description Summary & Analysis (Draft 1)



Pearl Rear Vision


The website “https://www.pearlauto.com” puts forward the purpose, features and advantages of the product.  Pearl Rear Vision is a solar powered backup camera for cars which provides the driver with extensive vision of the car’s surroundings. With state-of-the-art image processing of “high dynamic range scenes”, the rear-view screen is viewable under direct sunlight while the dark mode enables visibility in inferior light situation. It has a caution system which provides the driver with auricular and visional caution when there are obstructions to the lane caused by incoming traffic. The caution may be in the form of an undulation or intonation which becomes firmer as obstacles are in closer proximity. Not only can the rear view camera be readily installed on the car’s number plate, it is theft proof and uses your phone via the Pearl app as your rear-view screen.


 The biggest drawback about the website is the fact that there was no mention about the cost of the Pearl Rear Vison. According to (Burgett, 2016) the cost of Pearl Rear Vsion is $500. Comparing that price to other products from two website articles by (Vazharov & Stefan, 2016) as well as from (Top 10 Reviews, 2016), it is obvious that an average backup camera costs much less than the Pearl Rear Vision.


However, if cost is taken out of the equation it is easy to understand why Pearl Rear Vision is one of the best backup cameras in the market. According to (Pearl Auto, 2016), Pearl Rear Vision provides a 180-degree range of vision which is higher than any other product from the website article (Top 10 Reviews, 2016). Unlike most after-market wireless backup cameras which require a complicated installation process with running wires through the car, the Pearl Rear Vision is absolutely wireless as it is solar powered. (Etherington, 2016) describes the night vision capabilities of the Pear Rear Vision as such, “better than what you’d get from any OEM backup cam system I’ve used thus far, let alone inexpensive aftermarket options from Amazon”.  


In conclusion, if cost is not an issue then the Pearl Rear Vison is the go to after-market backup camera. However if cost is the issue, according to (Gannon, 2016) Pearl provides a three year guarantee for the product and also according to (Jordan, 2016) in the case of theft, Pearl will replace the product; just sent them the OBD adapter.

  1. Dear Karthig,

    After reading your product summary, this are my comments

    1. For website URL, there isnt any need of using quotation marks.

    2. Reducing of transitional words like however and in conclusion. Example: However, if cost is taken out of the equation it is easy to understand why Pearl Rear Vision is one of the best backup cameras in the market >>> Assuming the cost is taken out of the equation it is easy to understand why Pearl Rear Vision is one of the best backup cameras in the market.

    3. Good usage of APA style to cite your sources

    4. Good compairison from other source as you try to compair and state why is the other product better than the main product.

    5. Sentence seems very casual. Example: Pearl will replace the product; just sent them the OBD adapter. >>> Pearl will replace the product, by sending them the OBD adapter.


    Do hope that my comments will be useful for your new draft.


    Regards,
    Boris
