Reversing camera in honker2000

The Honker is a tall vehicle, where visibility directly behind the car is rather poor when reversing. Especially off-road, it is possible to hit the rear steps or bumpers when reversing, for example, into a protruding stone, trunk, etc.

To eliminate this blind spot, a rearview camera was installed behind the car.

The whole set was bought on popular auction sites (separately camera, separately monitor) at a price not exceeding 200 PLN.

In the case of the described car, an antenna bracket was used to mount the camera, but there are so many camera models on the market today that you can choose one that will fit perfectly into any car configuration.

The whole system turns on when 12V is applied to the camera and monitor. The installation can be done in such a way that the camera switches on automatically when the reverse gear is engaged (we connect to + from the reversing light) or, as in the case of our installation, to an additional switch that allows the camera to be turned on when we need it.
