This camera is supplied with approx 1ft fly lead with a 4-pin aviation connector at the end. We prefer the 4-pin version because it means a monitor can provide power to the camera, and this avoids CANBUS issues that can occur if taking power from the reverse light. The monitor we use provides power down an all-in-one screw together cable making fitting easy.
We use a high res image sensor, namely the 1/3" PC4089 700TVL sensor. Coupled with a 2.6mm 4 layer glass lens (some cheaper cameras use 2xglass 2xplastic which eventually turn cloudy due to sun exposure) to give approximately 130° diagonal field of view.
The camera has some up/down adjustability, however it can't be angled high enough to give a view back down the road.
The camera has IR LED's to provide night vision, we find the modern large image sensors like the 1/3" PC4089 perform very well in low light levels, so you can expect a nice picture both day and night.
The camera has been designed to accept your original LED strip from your old brake light, unclip it from your old brake light housing and clip it in to the new brake light camera housing.

Outside of the UK
We shop around when selecting the best method for Europe (we avoid the cheap budget couriers due to parcels being lost). Southern Ireland is always sent via DPD. Other countries will usually be either Parcel Force, UPS, or Fedex. Please note that we require a phone number for international deliveries. Also if you are a company in Europe, a VAT number or EORI number will help speed up customs.
We remove the UK VAT (Tax) when any country other than the UK is selected in the shopping basket or checkout. From this point all prices on the site drop down to exclude VAT. If you are from the Channel Islands, please select Jersey / Guernsey from the country list in order to remove UK sales Tax.
