Rearview Cameras, Backup Cameras, or alternatively known as "Reversing Cameras" are attached to the rear of a vehicle to aid in reversing or backing up. These types of backup/reversing cameras need the images to be horizontally flipped so that the output is a mirror image since without this the camera's right would be on the driver's left and are more commonly used in bigger vehicles such as SUV's. To some car models a backup camera is optional and to some they come standard since In-Dash DVD players and GPS navigation systems are now more common and the need to a separate display has been eliminated. Most backup camera have a typical wide-angle or fisheye lens and although such a lens will distort the camera's ability to see faraway objects it will allow it to see an uninterrupted horizontal path from end to end.

The rearview camera systems found here are generally universal and are made to work with any car video receiver with a rearview camera connection. Rearview camera connections differ from a standard video input because they only activate when the vehicle is put into reverse.
