One CCD COLOR 700TVL Weather/Water-Proof Wide Angle Vehicle Rear View Camera With Wide View Angle, Video, and Night Vision. Approx. 2.8" width x 3.0" height x 2.6" length (size includes surface-mount attachment).

Weather and Waterproof casing with the rain shield. Please note: The casing is weather and waterproof under normal use only and doesn"t require any further adjustment on your part. However, the cables may not be weather and waterproof. To make proofing enabled, the cable connections will require additional sealing/protection that you must provide. Remember, improper installation and using the product in opposition to the manufacturer"s instructions and the manufacturer"s defined terms and conditions of normal usage may result in damage to the weather/waterproofing properties of the camera.

Reverse image - set to display a reversed camera image on the monitor by default(for vehicle rear viewing to duplicate the normal view seen in a rear-view mirror)

Caution: The camera is designed to operate within a range of constantly changing voltage levels produced by a vehicle"s battery and alternator (post engine ignition) under normal use conditions. Some vehicles have a very high momentary voltage at the vehicle starting time and the excessive voltage generation at that time might cause damage to the camera. If your vehicle tends to emit high voltage levels during ignition you will need to install a fuse/voltage regulator/etc. to protect your camera. Please consult with a professional vehicle audio/video equipment installers if needed.

Looking for the best backup camera for your vehicle? Our guide will help you choose the right one for your budget – and show you where you can find it at the best price today.

It’s a lot easier to back up with a new car; there’s probably a reversing camera built-in (in fact it’s now a legal requirement in the USA). It’s not beyond the bounds of possibility that it’ll park itself.

Only a few years ago, however, it was a very expensive option so most vehicles on the road lack the feature. As a retrofit, things can be much cheaper – plus you don’t need to buy a new car at the same time. For those with multiple cars, it means you can make your reversing experience more consistent, too.

Adding a backup camera is also a good move on vans and trucks. If you’re the enterprising type and your business is a mobile one, imagine how much easier things could be if you had a camera to help out when making deliveries at unfamiliar locations. Back into someone’s fence and not only will you face damage charges and increased insurance rates but lose customers. Courteously avoid disaster and you’ll impress.

When it comes to fitting, there are different approaches (see our notes below the list). Reversing cameras are typically attached to the top of the license plate, with a cable run to a monitor which you fit on the dash and a shorter one to the reversing light to tell the camera it’s needed. This approach is widely supported and can be readily fitted by a pro or an enthusiast mechanic, though there are different levels of difficulty on this list. Since dash cams(opens in new tab) that record potential incidents are also a popular option amongst motorists, some combine the functionality.

Given that up to 30% of collisions are caused by rear-ending, it makes sense to capture evidence this way, so cameras discretely fitted to the front and back are ideal. Some even keep recording while you’re parked, helping avoid runaways as well as insurance fraud.

The Auto-Vox V5 is already a great reversing & dash cam, but this ‘Pro’ option is designed to be fitted directly to a car’s fuse box so it really blends into the driving experience. 1080P video might not be the highest resolution available, but the Sony sensors capture good footage which is more than adequate for insurance evaluation. Assuming you supply the maximum 64GB SD card(opens in new tab), that’ll record up to 72 hours, automatically recorded on a loop overwriting the older footage, and adding GPS geodata as it goes.

To use as a simple dash cam, the only cable you’ll need to run is the one from the rear camera to the mirror, but to operate as a back-up camera it also needs to be wired to the reversing light. When you engage reverse and the light comes on, and the device knows to display the rear view on the screen.

The Wolfbox G840H, a refined version of the company’s G840S, incorporates back-up camera, HDR loop recording which benefits from a G-sensor to detect collisions, and a Sony Stavis sensor to help ensure license plates are committed to the microSD card. The device’s main strength can be seen as its biggest weakness too; the 12” screen (which attaches to an existing mirror using the rubber bands included in the box) can feel a bit big in a smaller vehicle (but Wolfbox does offer 10” versions).

Fitting a reversing camera can be a daunting task if you’re not a motor enthusiast, but there is an unsurmountable need for power (the screen and the camera) and a connection between the two. The Auto-Vox Solar 1 takes advantage of wireless to transmit the video from the camera, and a solar panel to power it.

If you’re looking for decent resolution, a wide angle of view, and the monitor to see that picture back on, then Dallux is offering a single camera that could help you out whether you’re looking to fit it on a car, camper, truck, or SUV. The camera sends a 1080P signal, but the 5-inch monitor (which, yes, could also be more elegant) displays at its maximum resolution (1024 x 600) – Dallux does sell different screen configurations.

The camera can draw power from the 12-30V which powers your taillights. Because it returns a signal as digital wireless it is easier to fit than some while still being secure. How often the secure video is needed for reversing cameras is open to debate, but practical security comes from easily popping the monitor out of sight when parked thanks to the suction cup.

If you’re hauling a big camper, you need to think about driver visibility, indicating the presence of the load, and – when you reach your destination – the safety of you and your possessions. The Vision S system is built to contribute in every aspect with a selection of cameras; not just the rear Sharkfin with 120-degree visibility but side cameras with 65-degree visibility and amber marker lights. These can be installed in place of existing lights, cutting down on installation effort – ideally at the front on either side to give a view of the blind spot. Finally, a doorway camera is included which affords a better view of visitors – welcome or otherwise.

With a theoretical maximum (without obstruction), the 1080P video signals from these cameras can travel nearly 1000ft (300m), meaning they still have a decent amount of range when the radio waves need to negotiate the structures of a truck or RV.

Each of the cameras is designed to withstand the outdoors, with an IP69 rating. The mounting brackets afford a good range of movement, though at 3.3 inches/8.5cm wide they’re not designed for smaller vehicles. Not that the extra size doesn’t have a purpose; it houses 16 LEDs to provide automatically enabled infrared night vision when needed – don’t forget you’ll need to hook the cameras to power sources – a big camper’s running lights are handy for this.

The chances are, if you’re thinking of adding a backup camera to your vehicle, you’ve come to accept there will be an extra monitor in the cab. If so, it’d be nice to have as many features as possible for as little clutter, which is along the lines Garmin, perhaps better known for its GPS navigation systems, have been thinking. The result is the BC35 camera which can be used with several of its Navigators, including the dezl 780 or the Overlander.

Garmin also offer a battery wireless camera which can be attached to the top of a license plate, the Garmin BC40, but the BC35 comes with a good length power cable (15ft/4.5m) but a slightly random selection of other cables with the fuse flimsily mounted in the lead.

The camera is connected to (and draws power from) the reversing light, while the monitor is plugged into the lighter socket and offers a spare USB port to charge phones. This makes it an easy DIY install.

The rear-view camera can operate in low-light environments, and with IP68 grade weather protection shouldn’t struggle with the great outdoors. It does, however, have a narrower field of view than some, but this is a matter of taste; this also means it side-steps any fish-eye distortion.

If you’ve already fitted a car monitor, then you’ll likely find it has an RCA port for an analog video feed from a camera. If that’s what you’ve got (or you’re having one fitted) then the ERT02 – eRapta’s second generation – makes a great choice backup camera.

To install, the camera is connected to the reversing light for power and the video and a control lead which tells the system when reverse is engaged to it takes over the display. The camera is IP69 waterproof, and can survive a carwash, while the view has been improved over its predecessor.

The camera has a glass lens and a typical 30fps refresh, so it can produce a decent image without digital judder. The 26ft RCA cable is enough for a sizable truck or car, and two different mounts are included.

This is a simple and cheap solution which can obtain its power via the cigarette lighter and then needs only one cable to be run to the camera, which clips over the license place. Despite the modest price, the screen can be used in normal and mirrored modes with optional reversing guides and the camera even has ‘Super Night Vision’.

The backup camera itself is pleasingly discrete, not only IP68 waterproof but can be fitted without drilling but just attaching to the top of your number plate. (You could attach it over the front plate too if that’s where you needed help). The resolution might not be true HD, but it’s more than up to the task.

If your car has a screen, especially an aftermarket head unit, then your camera can be displayed on that. If you have an original (OEM) monitor, or none at all, you’ll likely need a separate monitor. Separate monitors might take the form of stand-alone items you can attach to your windshield or dash. Some of our favorites are integrated into a rear-view mirror.

Wireless systems can be quicker to install, though despite the name they probably still involve wires. The term usually means there isn’t a wire to the display, but you’ll still have to connect the camera to the reversing light.

This is very often above the license plate, with a camera designed to fit into the plate mount. The alternatives are a universal mount that can be placed anywhere (perhaps even inside the rear window) or perhaps a brand-specific design.Round up of today"s best deals
