Car Camera Back Systems for Rear-View Recording

Choose a rear camera that matches your main unit, vehicle length and mounting surface. A complete front-and-rear kit is usually simpler than mixing systems.

A car camera back system records what happens behind the vehicle, either as the rear channel of a dash cam or as a separate reversing view. For evidence while driving, favour a matched front-and-rear kit: the recorder, file format and rear cable are designed to work together.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Can a back dash cam record while the car is parked?

Only if the system supports parking mode and has a suitable permanent power supply. Check the camera manual and the hardwire kit specified for that model.

Is a rear dash cam the same as a reversing camera?

No. A rear dash cam records journey evidence; a reversing camera primarily gives a live manoeuvring view. Some products combine functions, but compatibility must be explicit.

Where should a rear car camera be mounted?

Usually high on the rear glass where it has a clear view and does not obstruct the driver. Follow the maker's placement guidance and keep heated-window elements and wipers in mind.

Can I add a rear camera to any front dash cam?

Not safely assumed. Rear modules normally use model-specific connectors, cables and firmware, so confirm the exact compatible accessory before buying.
