It's easy to add an aftermarket rearview backup camera to any vehicle, they're a great safety and convenience feature that give you a clear view of what is behind your vehicle while in reverse.
Most cameras are universal, meaning they will work with any vehicle, but there are also vehicle specific camera options for select makes and models of cars.
A double din Car Stereo is the most common monitor used, but stock screens can also be used but will require a vehicle specific harness or interface. Mirror Monitors and standalone monitors are the easiest to install because they don't require taking apart the dash or replacing the stereo.
If you have any questions about installing a backup camera in your vehicle contact one of our sales representatives.
In this video we install the Belva BARCAM221 rearview camera and a Crimestopper rearview mirror monitor.

    Is it possible to install two 170º cameras at the back of my car and merge the two generated images into a single 270 with parking lanes? I have a Mitsubishi Outlander and the camera location is on either side of the rear handle. So, my current set up is a single camera which produces an angled 170º degree image. Therefore, the produced image is skewed. I'd like to purchase system with two cameras which produces a single better image. Is this even possible? Are there any such systems available for purchasing?

    You might be able to find out what your vehicle's wire colors are online somewhere. Generally if one of the wires has a black line (solid or dashed) going down it, regardless of color, it is negative. But really... the best thing to do is borrow a multimeter and figure it our for sure..

    Probably a stupid question, but how do I know what strength of fuse is required for the fuse tap? I assume that the one we take out of the fuse box to make room for the tie in goes in to the tie in, but then we need another fuse for the backup camera, right? How can I figure out what size it needs to be?

    Refer to the monitor manual. It should say how many watts the monitor needs to run. Divide the watts by 12 (volts) and you get amps. Multiply the amps by 1.5 or @ there and that will tell you the size fuse you need.

    How easy is it to steal these cameras from cars? Car breakins & stealing of car parts is common in big cities. The police often cannot do much about them.
