A lot of the newer higher end cars come with a built in
reversing camera kit system. The camera shows the driver an image from the rear of the car, making reversing into small spaces much easier, and shown obstructions that may not be visible in the mirrors. Reversing Camera Kits are now available for vehicles that did not come with a reversing camera fitted as standard. Even better, some reversing camera acts as rearview camera as well, that allows you to have an image of the rearview at all times when driving. This guide will help you to understand some of the options available, and how they can be fitted to your car, van or truck.
If you do not have an existing screen, most reversing camera kits are available with an add-on LCD display screen that can be attached to your dashboard. Add on screen will generally require power which can be taken from any 12v/24v power supply - the radio connectors are often good for this. Reversing cameras come in all shapes and sizes - which one to choose depends on your vehicle and personal preferences, but ideally they should be as unobtrusive as possible, and provide a clear view behind you. Some cameras come with built in lights, normally LEDs as they are bright and have low power consumption, which help for reversing in the dark.
Reversing cameras need power. The power will come from either a separate box wired to the camera, or a cable that feeds directly to the camera itself or power directly from the monitor. In the first case the best place to power these is from the 12v power supply to the reversing light. That way, when you engage reverse, the reversing light bulb comes on AND the camera gets power at the same time - easy! And the later, as long as the monitor is powered using the power from ignition/battery, the 4PIN cable that runs from the monitor to the reversing camera is able to power up the reversing camera, so no need to connect a separate power to the reversing camera.
