A fit for your license plate Looking for a tidy backup cam solution? Accele reengineered their best-selling cam to cover less of your car's license plate - the RVCLPMBS backup camera features a low-profile bar-style housing that'll blend nicely for a factory look. Once you power the camera and run the included 22-foot video cable to the screen up front in your dash, you'll see a plentiful wide-angle view when you're backing up your vehicle. The CCD-based color camera shows a clear image even under extreme low-light conditions. Installing this camera yourself? Here's what you should know. What does it do? Unless otherwise noted, a backup camera is only intended for use backing up your vehicle. (If you require a front-view or constant rear-view camera, check for that capability.) What tools and supplies will I need? A panel tool, a wire cutter/stripper, a soldering iron, and a rosin-core solder with heat shrink tubing are recommended, along with whatever tools are needed to remove the radio from the dash. How much wiring is required? Wiring instructions vary from camera to camera. Some cameras have power wiring that can only be connected near the radio. Others let you power the camera at compatible reverse lights. In all cases, the camera must be wired for power and ground, the camera's video output must be connected to the radio/monitor, and the radio/monitor must be connected to a reverse trigger in your vehicle. Some radio replacement interfaces supply a reverse trigger wire for the radio -- using that wire to power your camera will damage the interface. Will the included video cable be long enough? You'll need to route the camera's video cable from its mounting location outside your vehicle into your vehicle's cabin and all the way to the screen in the dash. This often requires drilling a small hole in your vehicle or filing some metal and or plastic.
