Description

About the VW Volkswagen Crafter / Mercedes Sprinter brake light reversing camera

  • This is ideal for Mercedes Sprinter vans (2006-present), and Volkswagen Crafter vans (pre-2017) to add a reversing camera to the position of the reversing light.
  • The camera is a ball design and is fitted in to a larger overhang moulding to give it more overhang to see towballs etc.
  • The ball camera can be angled up/down to give the ideal view - if you want a rear view as well then please see our twin lens brake light reversing and rear view camera for Mercedes Sprinter and VW Crafter.
  • The image sensor we have installed is one of the latest generation 700TVL premium CMOS, which gives a really nice clear picture.
  • The camera has the 4 pin plug on it's fly lead.
  • The camera is waterproof up to IP68.

Image Sensor for Camera

This particular system uses the PC4089 1/3" Hi-Res CMOS image sensor (not to be confused with the older technology low res CMOS), this runs at 700TVL and gives a really crisp picture with a good colour replication. We use 4xglass composite lens instead of the cheaper 2xglass, 2xplastic lenses, which cloud/fade over time due to UV exposure. With our camera you can be assured of good performance and long term reliability.

FAQ'S

Our reverse camera will fit the same location/entry point as the original brake light. The original light strip will be transplanted from the old brake light into the new brake light reverse camera housing. This helps prevent CANBUS issues, which are common with these vans when changing rear brake light LEDs.

There could be a number of reasons they may be cheaper than us, the most common are below :

  • Rejected Production Runs - This is more common on the marketplaces where there are a lot of non-UK businesses (although the stock is often in the UK). When one of the larger factories produces a camera they will age-test a batch to ensure that the quality is sufficiently high to be able to send to their big customers (like us). If a production run fails this test with a high enough number having issues, the whole batch is often sold off for "recycling" the components. Sadly, these get placed in a container setting sail to the UK and other destinations, and eventually listed on a marketplace at crazy low prices - lower than we can buy hundreds at a time for. Sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you are not, depending on how badly the batch failed.
  • Cheaper Components Used - There are different standards of image sensor, support chips, lenses and camera bodies. We opt for better quality; the results speak for themselves. We didn't earn our reputation by buying as cheap as we could; it's not what our customers want. Although at the same time we really do keep our prices as low as possible. The cheaper prices help us to sell more volume, which means we can bring the cameras in by ocean shipping, saving freight costs, which we pass to the consumer.
  • Produced by a "Factory for the day" - We have seen some shocking quality cameras sent to us over the years by customers. There is a phenomenon in China where someone can rent factory space for a day or two in order to complete a production run. Often this is a factory employee that is trying to go it alone and start his own business. Sadly, they don't often have the best engineers, they usually buy the lowest price/quality components, have the lowest standard of production line worker, and they can't afford to reject a bad production run. These usually either end up on a Marketplace or sold directly from a Chinese website.

In short, trust us to find the best quality and support you for safety and peace of mind.
