Does the system work at night?
Yes, all systems work great at night. The camera has 18 Infra-reds built in so you can see in total darkness.

How much does it cost to install?
We recommend professional installation from an aftermarket customizer shop because they can guarantee that the system is installed correctly. Open the yellow pages and look under "Auto Accessories" or "Truck Accessories" and you will find many listings available of customizers who are qualified to install a camera system. These aftermarket shops are knowledgeable in installing similar aftermarket items like DVD players, audio systems and sun roofs, and typically charge about $150-$200 to install the backup camera system.

How hard is it to install?
Many people have the knowledge and expertise to install themselves.

What is the power source and how does it work?
Both the camera and monitor run off one 12V-24V power source, we use a central multiplexer thus allowing all the cables and power cables to run off one (1) power source.

Where does the camera get installed?
Typically the camera is placed on the top (center) of vehicle and angled properly so you get the entire picture.

Do the systems work in the rain or bad weather? Do they need maintenance?
The camera is fully waterproof with a IP67 rating and will have no difficulty operating in temperatures ranging from -10°C to 50°C. Occasionally you will need to wipe the glass over the camera lens clean as watermarks and dust do collect.

Is the system always on?
The system can be installed to operate whenever the ignition system is turned on, or only when the vehicle is in reverse gear. (For safety purposes, we recommend activation when backing up, so that the driver is not distracted).

What is the purpose of a rear view camera system? Why would I want one?
They allow the driver to see behind the vehicle in the area which mirrors alone cannot reach, also called the Blind Zone.

Will this work on any vehicle?
