Boyo VTL400 Rear View camera
by Giles on Sep.21, 2009, under Backup Camera system's, Stand alone cameras
Here is a stand alone camera for the USA that has gotten some good press of late.
Designed to fit across the top or bottom bolts of your licence tag the VTL 400 has a swivel mounted camera for fine tuning the angle of view all wrapped up in a chromed finish. It uses standard RCA connectors so will easily fit onto the vast majority of video inputs out there and has a very impressive low light rating – despite not being fitted with IR Leds. Its view angle is a decent 130 degrees and the camera auto compensates for light changes swiftly.
On the down side a few folks have reported that the camera does not like to get wet despite its “resistant” rating by the manufacturer, so discretion is advised if you live in a particularly wet area of the US. However should this prove to be the case it is reassuring to see that the manufacturer is offering a 2 year guarantee for this item. I find this a very good sign as any free guarantee over the statutory one year is a good indicator of the manufacturers faith in their product. The best prices I could find were about $65-$70 but beware this camera is being offered for a LOT more than that elsewhere. The highest I saw was $190! How on earth there could be such a variation escapes me for the moment. But you can rest assured that here on this site you’ll only be offered the best deals I could find.

If you want simple and easy to install this is the sort of thing you want to have. RV's and caravans are great for holiday trips out, but can be a bit of a pig to get set, and an inexpensive system like this is ideal for the occasional vacationer.

A decent fourway sensor system, the added bonus of having a visual guide right where you can see it is great. Most suitable as a retro fit for a Mini van sized family car, where you have significant blind spots caused bu the shape of the rear of your vehicle. With this system installed you can hear and see immediately if anything is getting dangerously close to you.
A great camera for the RV or larger vehicle. It features include night vision capability and the option of attaching two more video sources (either other cameras or maybe a DVD player etc) A wider angle camera and a large screen allows you to see in detail whatever is behind you.
A wonderfully innovative device from the UK. No drilling into your bumper; a wider angle of detection than most other sensors and sensitivity allowing for tighter maneuvering than most other sensors. A bargain indeed!
