Today we're going to be taking a look at the rear-view safety backup camera system. This backup camera system increases safety not only for the operator but also for the vehicle. The system is complete with the mirror monitor which replaces the existing rear-view mirror in the vehicle. The mirror is reflective that way it can function as a regular rear-view mirror. The system also features mirror image capability with distance grid-lines. It's going to come with your power harness with two camera inputs that allows you to add more than one camera.
The camera is on a license plate bracket. This is a 170-degree camera with night vision. It's going to come with all of the necessary wiring, connectors and mounts that you need for your installation and for your application. The system is completely weather-proof with a IP 68 rating. It's strong and reliable. It features a shock resistance with a 10G vibration rating.
The backup camera is a license plate mounted design and can fit virtually any vehicle. It's a nice, slick compact design that makes the camera barely noticeable. The camera bracket is made from a heavy duty metal construction and the angle of the camera is adjustable. That way you can get the best view for your application. A few specs to go over with the mirror monitor.
This is going to measure around 3 inches tall by 10-1/4 inches long. It's going to feature a bright 4.3 inch color TFT LCD screen. The image will show up when the reverse gear is engaged and the image shows up on the driver's side of the mirror. Wiring is easy. Everything is going to be labeled so all the connectors are labeled where they go and what they connect to, so that makes installation and getting all the wires connected very quick and easy. It's also going to come with some zip ties, as well as some brackets.
The zip ties are going to be great when it comes to securing any excess or slack, and the wiring you can make sure that's tucked up and out of the way and you can secure it to out of the way locations. It's going to come with a camera cable. This measures around 33 feet long that way you have plenty of wiring for your vehicle, no matter what the length is up to 33 feet. It's also going to come with some additional mounting hardware, and it's going to come with a remote control. That's going to do it for today's look at the rear-view safety backup camera system. .
THE ITEM WAS CORRECT AND IS EXACTLY WHAT MY CUSTOMER WANTED
Outstanding parts knowledge and a high quality products!
Installed in a 2013 F150 with no backup warning system.
Had the camera professionally installed. The video cable was too long but the mechanic rolled the excess up and zip tied it in the engine compartment so no issues there. Camera/rear view works great. Menu system and camera adjustment was easy to do. The three color backup grid lines are excellent. Works well in bright sun and quite well in the dark with the backup lights. Very much like the split-screen function so I can glance back and forth between the camera and normal mirror. Typically it is sometimes blurry when the road is wet but that is understandable. I would absolutely purchase this product again and highly recommend it!
The camera is of high quality, as is the rearview mirror and monitor. I did have to return the first mirror because the bracket didn't match my 2013 Ram 1500's windshield mount, even though it was listed as a universal fit. The Ram has a triangular type fitting. I tapped into the reverse light wiring for power. l ended up having to replace the incandescent reverse light bulbs with LED bulbs because the monitor image flickered badly until I installed the LEDs. I think this was because the BCM (Body Control Module) got confused with the additional power draw. Since then the camera and monitor have worked flawlessly. It provides a great view behind the truck, even at night. Because of the placement on the bumper it doesn't have a good view of the hitch ball, but I don't tow very often. Overall I have been very pleased and feel that the camera is well worth the price.
My wife rode with a friend for lunch who had a new car with a back-up camera. She was really impressed and was talking about buying a new car to replace her 2011 Ford Escape that would have the backup camera. I found a video showing how to install the camera on an Escape by etrailer. I was impressed by the company and bought a unit. It arrived quickly and I was able to install it following the instructions I had watched. It took me a couple of hours to install, the hardest part being fishing the cables to the rear of the car. Once installed it worked great. My wife is very, very happy with the install. She says she is much more confident in parking her car. Thanks a lot. I would, and do recommend etrailer and the back up camera kit.
im very pleased with the product (camera & rear view mirror) takes a little work to get the cables run through your vehicle (f150) and finding a good power source (my problem) had one issue with a cable mfg took care of it over all had it installed for 1 year very happy got it manly for conecting to our travel trailer but use it all the time now

My wife has had the backup camera for a year now and is very happy with it. She has to park in a tight parking lot for her business and it has been very helpful seeing what is behind her. She is now backing into the driveway with the unit, making it easier to load and unload her car. Thanks again
