Can You Add a Backup Camera to a Truck

A truck backup camera is an imaging device mounted on the rear of a truck, which helps drivers observe the environment behind the vehicle by transmitting real-time images. For trucks, due to their large size and numerous blind spots, a backup camera is not only a regulatory requirement (such as EU CE certification) but also a key tool to reduce accident risks. Modern truck backup cameras typically have the following features:

①　High-definition image quality: 1080P or higher resolution, supporting night infrared night vision and clear imaging in rainy and foggy weather;

②　Wide-angle coverage: Horizontal viewing angle of up to 120° or more, reducing visual blind spots;

③　Waterproof and dustproof: IP67 or higher protection level, suitable for harsh transportation environments;

④　Voice prompt: Automatically triggers buzzer warning when reversing to remind pedestrians and vehicles nearby.

Benefits of Adding a Backup Camera to a Truck

(1) Eliminate blind spots and avoid collision accidents

The right blind spot of a truck can reach more than 4 meters, and it is easy to scratch pedestrians or obstacles when reversing. The backup camera, combined with Yuwei's BSD blind spot detection system, can real-time monitor pedestrians and vehicles within 2 meters behind and to the side, and issue active warnings through sound and light alarms.

(2) Standardize driving behavior and reduce violation risks

If the driver shifts gears directly without observing the rear during reversing, Yuwei's DSM driver status monitoring system will immediately trigger an alarm. Combined with cloud data analysis, it helps fleet managers identify high-risk driving habits.

(3) Provide evidence for accident liability determination

The backup camera equipped with an ADAS collision avoidance warning system can record 10 seconds of video before a collision, providing key evidence for insurance claims. For example, the Yuwei system has successfully assisted customers in handling multiple rear-end disputes caused by blind spots.

(4) Improve loading and unloading efficiency

The backup camera integrates a dynamic picture-in-picture display function, allowing drivers to confirm the position of goods without frequently getting off the vehicle, reducing the single loading and unloading time by 15%-20%.

(5) Remote management for cost reduction and efficiency improvement

Through the Yuwei fleet management platform, managers can view real-time reversing operation videos and screen irregular operation behaviors combined with fuel consumption data, which is expected to save more than 10,000 yuan in maintenance costs per vehicle per year.

Yuwei Truck Backup Camera Solution

Yuwei has launched a full-scenario reversing monitoring kit for truck scenarios, including three core components:

(1) Professional-grade backup camera

①　7-inch touch screen for linked display, supporting 4-channel camera access (including front ADAS, rear reversing, left blind spot, and right blind spot);

②　Supports GPS/Beidou dual-mode positioning with trajectory playback accuracy within 5 meters.

(2) Intelligent early warning system

· Reversing collision warning: Automatically brakes or decelerates when an obstacle is detected (requires matching with Yuwei EBS electronic braking system);

(3) Cloud management platform

①　Automatically generates a Reversing Safety Report to count the frequency of dangerous events such as sudden braking and lane crossing each month;

②　Supports docking with existing fleet ERP systems to realize digital management of the entire transportation process.

Industry Application Cases

①　A fresh cold chain enterprise: After deploying Yuwei backup cameras, the cargo damage rate caused by blind spots decreased by 63%, and annual insurance costs were saved by more than 500,000 yuan;

②　A multinational logistics group: Through the linkage of reversing videos and ADAS data, the one-time pass rate in EU market compliance reviews was increased to 98%.
