OEM camera for

Car models for which this camera is standard.

Reversing cameras can be created both in the form of universal devices and for specific car brands. The key advantage of the second option is ease of installation: the camera is designed for a specific “seat” (like a boot handle, license plate light, etc. — see “Installation type”) and does not require special tricks for installation. Yes, and connecting the "eye" to the on-board network and the screen, usually, is also not a problem. At the same time, such devices are usually produced for one car model, at best — for 3-4 similar models; installation on a "non-native" machine is often even more difficult than mounting a universal camera. It is also worth noting that the choice of standard cameras for each particular machine is rather small — definitely less than the range of universal models. Therefore, there is a high probability that this type of camera, which is easy to install, will not be suitable for some of the parameters (for example, resolution).

Now on the market for such car brands, reversing cameras: Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Citroen, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Honda, ...>Hyundai, Jeep, KIA, Land Rover, Lexus, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Seat, Skoda, Subaru, Suzuki, SsangYong, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo.

Instalation type

Standard installation method and location provided for by the camera design.

- Universal. This installation method can be conventionally called “external” - the camera is placed on a stand that is screwed to a particular surface, and the body is completely located outside. This option is generally universal and can be used regardless of the car brand, although there are standard cameras (see below) with this installation.

- Mortise. Cameras installed in specially made sockets for them. They are usually round in shape, and for installation it is enough to drill a hole of the appropriate size in the car body. Also, as a rule, they are universal.

Screw. Cameras designed to be installed using a screw mount (hence the name). They are quite simple and easy to install - just make a hole for a screw in the body, and the required hole size is noticeably smaller than that of mortise models. Most often they are universal.

License plate frame. Devices that are frames for license plates with built-in rear view cameras. They are convenient because they do not require special installation work - the structure is simply installed instead of the standard frame, on the same fastenings. At the same time, it is worth considering that frames for numbers can have different formats and, accordingly, the size and c...onfiguration of fasteners; This point must be clarified before purchasing.

— In the license plate light. Cameras mounted in the license plate light. They often include not only a camera, but also a lamp to illuminate the license plates. License plate lamps on different cars have different designs; accordingly, models of this type are made mostly standard (see below).

- In the trunk handle. Models that consist of a trunk handle with a camera installed in it and are mounted instead of the complete handle. They are made only by regular ones (see below).

- In the emblem. Models of this type can represent either separate cameras built into the “nameplate” or emblems supplemented with cameras and installed instead of the factory emblem. By definition, they are only regular (see below).

— In the radiator grille. In the vast majority of cars, the engine and, accordingly, the radiator are located at the front; Accordingly, this option is typical for forward-looking cameras (see “View type”). Most of these models are standard (see below).

- At the stop sign. The optics are made in the form of a brake light. As a rule, such cameras are made for a specific make and model of car. The device itself is installed in place of one of the standard brake light headlights (right, left or center). At the same time, during the installation process there is no need to make holes in the body elements or turn off the license plate light. The camera in the brake light body does not violate the integrity of the design of the stern, laconically blending into the image of the exterior.

Сolour encoding system

The colour system refers to the format in which colour information is transmitted in an analogue video signal. In modern reversing cameras, the European PAL system or the American NTSC are most often used. It makes no sense to describe them in detail — suffice it to say that for the normal operation of the camera you need a radio tape recorder (or other device with a screen on which the image is displayed) with support for the same colour system. However, incompatibility in this parameter is not fatal — with such a connection, the image will only turn from colour to black and white (in extreme cases, its overall quality will slightly deteriorate).

Image mode

The format for displaying the image on the connected screen. For each type of review (see above), there is a different option that is optimal.

— Direct. The traditional way of displaying an image: the user sees on the screen the same thing that the camera lens "sees" in front of him, with the same arrangement of the details of the situation. Simply put, if some object is located to the left of the centre of the camera's field of view, it will also be visible on the screen on the left side. All front view cameras work this way.

— Mirror. In this mode, an image is displayed on the screen that is “mirrored” horizontally — roughly speaking, one in which “left” and “right” are reversed: an object to the left of the camera lens will be visible on the right side of the screen, and vice versa. All cameras with a rear view type work in a similar way. This is due to the fact that in an ordinary rear-view mirror the driver sees exactly the picture inverted horizontally; therefore, in order for the sides of the picture on the screen to correspond to the usual view in the mirror, the image coming from the camera has to be “mirrored”.

— Direct / mirror. Cameras capable of operating in any of the picture modes described above. Usually, these are universal models (see “Installation”), which formally refer to the rear view type in our catalog (see above), but also allow front view.
