| There are three main types of vehicle rear view backup cameras. One is flush mount cameras (as known as keyhole cameras because many of them can be mounted directly into your vehicle's trunk key lock hole), the second one is surface mount cameras, and the third (also newest type) is license plate mount cameras (See pictures below). Flush mount cameras do not have mounting bracket, the camera body do not get exposed to the outside of your vehicle body. Surface mount cameras are easy to understand by the name and they normally come with mounting brackets. The newest license plate mount camera is easy to install on a standard U.S. license plate, but the whole camera is exposed to the outside.

| A camera (plus monitor) can cost from $80 to a few hundred dollars. Popular brands include Peak, Pioneer, Audiovox, Roadmaster, Voyager, VR3, 4UCam, XOVision, Shift-3, Clover, Bravo and Winplus.Read more at Suite101: How to Choose Backup or Rear-view Car Cameras: License Plate, Wired, Wireless, Night Vision Backup safety: checking that there are no children or pets behind the car when reversing. This needs a wide-angle view camera. RV and truck rear-view: acting as a rear-view mirror when the vehicle is on the road. A camera that is too wide makes it difficult to judge distances: whether the car behind is too close for safety, whether there is enough space to safely cut back in from the overtaking lane. Trailer hitching: positioning the vehicle to hitch up a trailer. The camera is only used occasionally. It can therefore be battery-powered (no installation required) and temporarily stuck on to the vehicle or bumper with a magnetized base. The camera is removed after use, keeping it safe from thieves. Parking: judging distances to walls, drains and other obstacles. As with rear-view use, a camera that is too wide makes it difficult to judge distances. | |
