Introduction to the Backup Camera System site
by Giles on Aug.17, 2009, under Home
Hi. As a deliveryman of over ten years aggravated labor I was amazed at the apparent rarity here in the USA (or at least where I now live) of a device that had gotten me out of many a tight corner in my jobs back in the UK.
The Reverse parking sensor or backup camera. Taking a walk through the local Wal-Mart car park made me see that here in the country of large cars and larger Recreational vehicles (RV’s) this simple and cheap device was less in evidence than I expected in the car loving USA.
So curiosity piqued, I thought as a hobby I’d go see what was available out there to add a Backup Camera system or even a simple reversing sensor to a vehicle. Not just a RV backup camera, though I’ll get to those as well, but something that can be easily retro fitted to the family vehicle whatever its size.
In this site/blog you can see what I found as I review some of these devices that are currently available and discuss the pro’s and cons of the varios systems. I hope you’ll find the articles fun as well as informative. Where possible I’ll include a button to the best price of a given item that I have yet found. If you spot a better deal out there be sure to let me know!
So if you have a favourite item here please leave a comment or even include your own story, good and bad. If there are dud products out there we all could use the heads up!

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!
