Stay Safe With an Inexpensive Wireless Backup Camera System

If you drive an older vehicle, chances are high you have no backup camera installed. Look for the affordable backup camera wireless system you want using eBay. You might find it's a good way to keep yourself, your vehicle, and others safe.

How easy is it to use a backup camera?

A backup camera wireless system is meant to be easy for the driver to use. Here are some features that will make using your backup camera easy:

  • On-screen guidelines: Nearly all backup systems have at least two parallel lines to help you aim when you back into a parking area. Some also have a middle line to help you keep your vehicle centered.
  • Color displays: Parallel lines remain green when nothing obstructs your path. They turn orange as your backup takes you closer to an object like another car’s bumper. When your backup camera senses that a collision is imminent, the lines turn red.
  • Audible warnings: Most wireless backup systems contain a warning sound you can hear if you get close to an object. The auditory warning often increases the closer you come to hitting another object while backing up.
  • Mirror image: Backup cameras have technology designed to send a mirror image to your monitor. This helps you turn right when needed where a direct feed from the camera’s view would reverse the image so you would turn left into an object.
  • Low profile: Installing backup cameras in the rear trim, rear bumper, or rear license plate holder keeps them inconspicuous. This also helps by not blocking or interfering with your vision.
Can you install a wireless backup camera system yourself?

You can install most backup wireless cameras yourself. License-plate frame mounted cameras usually require only a screwdriver to install it on the frame of your license plate. Rear trim piece or bumper cover mounts might require drilling a few holes and using some additional tools. Some cameras go into a rear trim piece that simply pops out and in.

Nearly all aftermarket wireless backup cameras are designed for easy installation. The genius of a wireless backup system is the lack of bulky cables. You don’t need to worry about threading wires throughout your vehicle.

How is a backup camera beneficial?

It can benefit you in these ways:

  • Increased visibility: The wide angle’s used by backup cameras expand your view beyond your mirrors, and they help you see below your trunk and rear window.
  • Easy parking: You can enter and exit parking spots quickly and efficiently.
  • Safe towing: When towing a trailer, backup cameras make maneuvering easier.
