Today we're going to be taking a look at the Rear View safety backup camera system. Now, a backup camera system is a great system to have in place. It really helps to see those areas that are sometimes very difficult to see. Just keep in mind that a backup camera system is intended to be installed as a supplemental aid to the mirrors in and on your vehicle already. This system is complete with a 4.3-inch TFT LCD mirror monitor. The monitor will appear on the driver's side of the mirror, or the side that's closest to the driver.
It's going to feature your backup camera, and it's going to come with all necessary wires, connectors and mounts that you'll need. It's also going to come with a remote control that allows for easy adjustment and control of the system. Now, this system is completely weather-proof. It's going to feature an IP69K rating. It's very strong and reliable.
It's going to feature a shock-resistant design with a 20G vibration rating. I just want to go over some of the components real quick. The two main components is going to be the mirror monitor and our camera. This mirror monitor is designed to replace the existing rear-view mirror. It's going to give a very clean, factory OEM look. It's going to come with what you need to get this installed.
That's going to feature a very strong and durable design when it comes to the construction, and it's going to feature a 4.3-inch, color, TFT LCD screen. Again, that image or that screen will appear on the side of the mirror that's closest to the driver. It does feature mirror-image capability. It's also going to feature distance grid lines that are optional and adjustable, and it's going to have the power harness that connects to it. That's got this quick-connect design.
Very easy to make the connection. Just line up the arrows, slide the two connectors together. It's going to have this design, and this offers two camera inputs. Then you're going to have the backup camera. It's going to feature the adjustable sun shade on there. That's really going to help reduce glare. It's going to feature a built-in microphone. It's going to have 18 infrared lights. That's going to offer up to 50 feet of night vision. That's a nice, heavy-duty metal construction that has a protective finish on it, so you don't have to worry about rust or corrosion with this unit. It's also going to feature an auto-iris sensor. That allows the infrareds to adjust the strength based on outside light. It's going to offer 130-degree viewing angle, as well as 600 TV lines, so that's going to offer the best quality with no blind spots. This is also going to feature an IP69K rating. It's going to do a good job at keeping out dirt and moisture. It's also going to protect against close-range, high-pressure spray-downs. It's also going to feature a 20G vibration rating, and it's going to use your aircraft-grade cable connections, and it's going to have the built-in, rubber grommet. That way you can seal up the hole that you'll need to patch your wiring through. Really nice camera. Very well-built. Nice, strong, durable design. Multiple mounting holes right here, so mounting the unit's quick and easy as well. Again, it's going to come with all necessary hardware to get the unit installed. It's going to include the tools that are needed to get that done as well, or the Allen tools that fit the hardware that comes with the kit. You're also going to get some small zip ties. That way, you can secure the wiring harness, keeping it safe, up and out of the way. It's going to come with your mirror-monitor manual. It's going to come with, again, all necessary wires, connectors, and mounts. This wiring harness is your main harness. It's going to measure 66-feet long. That's going to run from the camera to the monitor. That measurement does not include the power-connection cable, which is this cable here. You have 66 feet, plus the length of this cable. It should be plenty of length for your application, and again, another neat feature is that it comes with your remote control to easily adjust and control the system. That's going to do it for today's look at the Rear View safety backup camera system.

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
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!
Outstanding parts knowledge and a high quality products!
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.
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.
THE ITEM WAS CORRECT AND IS EXACTLY WHAT MY CUSTOMER WANTED
