About the Black Twin Lens Sony 1080P AHD Bracket Rear View / Reversing Camera

We have stocked the Sony CCD version of this twin lens bracket reversing / rear view camera for many years now, this design is one of the most popular models for motorhomes.  It is essentially two very good cameras mounted into one stainless steel bracket. 

This is the new highest spec version using a relatively new technology called AHD. AHD is an open source Analogue High Definition technology that has become dominant in the industry. We have chosen the Sony 1080P AHD, which we consider to be one of the best sensors on the market.

The reversing camera lens is wide angle for looking at the area directly behind the vehicle when parking. It uses a 3.6mm lens to achieve roughly 120 degrees field of view. Useful to give a good coverage when reversing.

The rear view camera is narrow angle for looking down the road when driving, it uses an 8mm lens to achieve roughly 45 degrees field of view, very similar to how a normal mirror would display the traffic behind.

If you are looking for an AHD monitor then please see our AHD monitors category.

Please take note of an important update for 2024. Our latest production of cameras includes a change – specifically, the driving rear-view camera in the recent batch is now being manufactured without IR LEDs, while the parking camera will continue to have IR LEDs. This modification is a response to customer feedback regarding the sensitivity of the Sony Starvis sensors used in the AHD cameras. Some customers found that the camera's enhanced brightness as the IR lit up nearby trees and bushes, made the image a bit bright when driving at night in a dark cabin. Following road tests, we concluded that eliminating IR LEDs from the rear-facing camera provides a better balance of functionality. When ordering you may receive either the original type (with IR LEDs) or the new batch (without IR LEDs) on the rear-view camera. If you have a preference for a specific version, please leave us a customer note when placing your order.

Anti-Corrosion Stainless Steel Camera Bracket

The camera has a stainless steel bracket, which is shown to last a very long time without corrosion unlike mild steel we have seen from most other retailers, which tends to rust in a matter of a few months.

Parts Tested in the UK

This camera will have been tested twice, once by the factory, and once by us. We check all of our products here in the UK prior to dispatch. This reduces any chance of you receiving a non-working part. Our fault rate is extremely low. That is why professional fitters love us.

Disconnectable Connectors for smaller cable entry holes

We took the step of adding 8mm disconnect points between the 4 pin connectors and the camera. This allows you to drill smaller cable entry holes instead of the 19mm you would need if using the pre-attached cable rubber Grommet (we still have these grommets inserted for those that prefer to use this method).

Please note that the 8mm disconnect point is NOT waterproof and needs to be kept inside to avoid water ingress. It is approximately 30 cm back from the camera. If you cannot ensure the cable will enter the vehicle by this length, please leave us a customer note asking for the non-8mm version (which goes straight to 4 pin and is very waterproof). The customer note box is at the very last stage of checkout.
