Reverse Cameras

A reversing camera isn't just another superfluous feature you can well live without, it is a necessity. A reversing camera not only simplifies the process of reversing into a tight space, it also helps that not only makes reversing a simpler, more straightforward processes, it can also help to keep your and others' kids safe from becoming a statistic. If you simply consider the drop in child injuries and fatalities caused by vehicles reversing out of driveways since the widespread adoption of reversing cameras, they are a worthy investment no driver should be without. Aside from the most common advantages outlined above, a reversing camera can also be a godsend in situations when you need to manoeuvre with precision, such as when you need to reverse up onto a tow hitch.

Reversing cameras can be integrated into your vehicle in a few different ways, and it is your preference and requirement for one over another that informs what reversing camera system or components is right for you.

OEM Integration - The cleanest and most unintrusive way of integrating a reversing camera is by interfacing with your factory audiovisual display screen, which is sometimes possible, especially if a higher spec model of your vehicle comes equipped with a reversing camera from the factory, and your vehicle shares the same display screen.

Aftermarket Upgrade - The next best solution is by integrating a reversing camera as part of a wider upgrade to your audiovisual system. The addition of a reversing camera in conjunction with a suitably headunit upgrade can be considered superior to the OEM integration option, as upgrading your headunit can also bring key must-have features previously absent, such as Apple Carplay and Android Auto, to name just a few. This option involves replacing the factory fitted audiovisual display with an aftermarket alternative which supports the fitment of a reversing camera. Alternatively, you can replace your rear view mirror for a mirror with integrated reversing camera screen, so to retain the OEM look of your dashboard. Stand-alone reversing camera screens are also available.

Stand-Alone System - If you do not wish to fiddle with or alter what is already in your vehicle, yet you still want to add the functionality of a reversing camera, it is possible to do so with the addition of a stand-alone reversing camera system. This approach involves fitting a dedicated camera and viewing monitor capable of working independently to your existing audiovisual system. It does, however, require you find space for an additional display somewhere within view that doesn't intrude on your field of vision out of the windscreen.

It is also possible to integrate an existing reversing camera with an aftermarket audio visual system upgrade using our range of Camera Retention harnesses.
