Car External High-Definition LED Rear View Camera with 170-Degree View and IP68 Waterproof Rating

This rear view camera is designed for drivers who want clear, reliable visibility when reversing, especially at night or in challenging weather. With a 170-degree viewing angle and a CCD image sensor delivering 480 TV lines, it gives you a broad, detailed view of what is behind your car. The camera is built to IP68 waterproof standard, resists high humidity, and operates across a wide temperature range. A built-in warning distance ruler helps you judge proximity to obstacles when connected to a compatible display. The installation kit includes a 6-metre video cable and a 1.0-metre power cord, making it straightforward to fit beside the license plate lamp or in another suitable position. This unit is a practical upgrade for any 12V DC vehicle, providing consistent composite video output at 30 frames per second.

Features and Construction

The camera uses proven CCD technology and a sealed housing to deliver dependable performance in demanding environments. Its key specifications are drawn directly from the datasheet to ensure you know exactly what you are getting.

CCD Image Sensor and Resolution

An integrated CCD chip captures images at 628x582 pixels (NTSC) with a horizontal resolution of 480 TV lines. The signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 48dB with AGC on, which helps maintain a clear picture in low-light conditions down to 0.5 Lux. Automatic white balance adjusts colour tones to suit changing ambient light.

IP68 Waterproof and Toughness

The housing meets IP68 waterproofing, meaning it can be submerged in water beyond 1 metre for extended periods. Combined with shockproof construction and resistance to high humidity, this camera is built to handle road spray, rain, and car washes without failure. It operates from -20°C to +80°C at up to 95% relative humidity and can be stored from -40°C to +100°C.

Included Cable and Wiring

The package includes a 6-metre composite video cable (75 ohms) and a 1.0-metre power cord with three output wires: power supply, signal wire, and ground wire. The wiring is straightforward for a standard 12V DC system, making installation achievable for most vehicle owners.

Uses and Placement

This camera is built for reversing safety in cars, vans, and similar vehicles. Its generous cable length and compact form factor allow flexible mounting options.

License Plate Area Installation

The most common installation position is beside the license plate lamp. This gives a central, low viewpoint that captures the rear bumper and the area immediately behind the vehicle. The 170-degree viewing angle minimises blind spots on both sides.

Night and Low-Light Operation

With a minimum illumination of 0.5 Lux, the camera remains usable in twilight, underground car parks, and other dimly lit spaces. The 30fps frame rate ensures smooth video without noticeable lag, which is important when reversing in tight spots.

Professional or Fleet Use

For fleet vehicles, taxis, or delivery vans, this camera offers a reliable, cost-effective way to reduce reversing incidents. The IP68 rating and wide temperature tolerance mean it can stay on the vehicle year-round without needing seasonal adjustments.

Benefits and Buying Value

The practical value of this camera lies in its combination of wide-angle coverage, durable build, and included wiring kit. You get a complete set of components ready to fit.

Warning Distance Ruler

When connected to a compatible display, the camera can overlay a warning distance ruler. This visual aid shows approximate distance between the rear object and the vehicle, helping you judge stopping points more accurately.

Low Maintenance and Long Life

Because the housing is sealed to IP68, there is little need for cleaning or protective covers. The CCD sensor has no moving parts, reducing wear-related failures. Normal operation at 12V DC also keeps power consumption modest.

Why Choose This Product

If you need a straightforward, high-spec rear view camera that delivers a wide field of view in all weather, this model covers the essentials without extra complexity. The 170-degree lens, IP68 rating, and included cabling make it a ready-to-fit solution for licensed drivers and commercial users alike.
