What is an auto rear view camera system?


The auto rear view camera system connects the camera and the in-vehicle display screen via video cables, featuring stable transmission and low image latency. It is the mainstream choice for commercial vehicle fleets and construction vehicles.


The system consists of three parts: a waterproof rear camera, an in-vehicle display screen, and connection cables. It automatically activates when the reverse gear is engaged, displaying rearward images in real-time.
