About the Black Roof Mount Reversing Camera with Sony CCD Image Sensor
Sometimes called an overhang camera, sometimes shark fin, the rest of the time roof mount camera. Whatever you want to label it, it's essentially a pod camera designed to extend over the edge of the roof of a van to ensure a good image is obtained. Expect a great picture day and night, fast delivery and fantastic support. This reverse camera has the following advantages :
Premium Sony 1/3" Sony CCD Image Sensor Fitted - Our favourite Sony 811 1/3" Sony CCD image sensor is installed in to this roof mounted reverse camera. The image sensor has one of the most significant impacts on camera picture quality. This image sensor is renowned for good performance night and day.
Night Vision IR LED's - A ring of 10x IR LED's are fitted to provide a useful image at night time. These IR LED's are below the visible spectrum of the human eye, so they won't annoy anyone with light, but they will help the camera see in the dark.
Adjustable Ball Camera - When installing the camera there is the ability to adjust the ball camera so that the camera is giving you the optimum viewing angle for reversing.
700tvl High Resolution PAL Signal - Thanks to the Sony Hi-Res image sensor, the camera outputs a 960H 700tvl high resolution image quality. This pretty much is the maximum limit of the traditional CVBS video signal system. Our camera uses the PAL format (Europe).
Great Colourful Image - Thanks to the Sony Image Sensor, you can expect nice colour replication, including greens, which is sometimes difficult to achieve on night vision cameras.
IP68 Waterproof Protection - The Ingress Protection rating of IP68 means the camera is protected against the worst weather conditions.
120° Wide Angle - A nice wide field of view to provide a spread around the back of your vehicle when reversing.
4 Pin Connector + RCA Adaptor Options - This camera has a 4 pin screw (aviation) connector. We are also able to provide a discounted adaptor set to RCA should you require.
1 Year Guarantee / 2 if Purchased at the same time as a monitor - We have a great reputation for reliability and support. This camera comes with a 1 year guarantee if bought by itself, or a 2 year guarantee if bought with one of our monitors at the same time. This is because we know our rear view monitors protect the camera from various issues, maintaining the perfect voltage range for operation.
Neat Looking Design - See the photo below that was sent in by one of our earliest customers for this type of camera, his vehicle was a Mark 7 Transit Van. 
Optional Extension Plate - We do stock a stainless steel extension plate should you find you need to extend the reach of the camera. This can be added by clicking on the option above. Please note :- As the bracket is bare metal stainless steel there will be scratches where the brackets have rubbed together in transit (before they reach us).
