Mercedes Sprinter 2006-present and VW Crafter 2006-2017 Twin Brake Light Reverse and Rear View Camera | CAM906TW
This listing is for our brake light reversing + rear view camera to fit the Mercedes Sprinter and VW Crafter.
For many years we have stocked the single-lens brake light camera, which is a fantastic solution, as it provides a "factory look" camera that integrates into the location of your existing high-level brake light. We were always asked if we could produce a twin-lens version so as to provide a rear view as well as a parking view, we now have that solution with this product. This camera will provide a downward parking view as well as a "down-the-road" rear view, all whilst sitting neatly in the position of the brake light.
This camera is supplied with 10M of twin cable to connect to a monitor, this terminates in two 4 pin aviation plugs (we stock adaptors if you plan to input this to an RCA/phono based display).
Both cameras use a high res 700TVL image sensor.
About our Dual Lens Rear View + Reversing Camera to fit Mercedes Sprinter and VW Volkswagen Crafter Vans
This twin view brake light reversing + rear view camera has been designed to increase your safety for your entire journey. As well as giving you greater rear visibility when reversing, this brake light housing has a second camera built in to view back down the road as an always on driving rear view camera. All of this whilst maintaining the factory appearance of your van. Easy to install, high resolution, great image quality, durable, supported with a two year guarantee from the reversing camera specialists.
This brake light rear view + reversing camera fits the following vans:
Mercedes Sprinter 2006 - Present
VW Volkswagen Crafter 2006 - 2017
This camera has the following advantages :
Great Image Quality - We don't settle for the base spec when it comes to this brake light camera. We have the 4089 700tvl image sensors fitted, which are paired with a top quality all-glass composite lens. The image sensor is one of the most important components for ensuring a colourful, sharp, and high dynamic image. We select all glass lenses instead of cheaper glass-plastic composites, because over time plastic containing lenses would fade from UV damage. No such issue with our all-glass lenses.
IP68 Waterproof Protection - This reversing camera is rated to IP68 water/dust ingress protection. This will keep the camera protected in even the worst wet and stormy weather the Great British weather can throw at it, or indeed on your trips across the continent.
130°(H) / 160°(D) Ultra Wide Angle (Reversing Camera) - Due to the external lens fitted to this camera, you are able to have a greater field of view, which is very helpful when reversing. External lenses can achieve wider field of view compared to those mounted behind a glass cover.
80°(H) / 105°(D) Semi-Narrow Angle (Rear View Camera) - When it comes to rear view cameras, you will appreciate the field of view being less wide angle. This is physically the most narrow angle lens we could get fitted in to the small camera body used for this camera. In and ideal world we would fit a 6mm or 8mm lens (45-60 degree) for rear view, those lenses are far too big for a brake light camera. The rear view camera is a great compromise and manages to achieve an 80 degree field of view, whilst maintaining it's small size.
2 Year Guarantee - We believe that our brake light reversing cameras come from the best factory, the factory is so sure of their own product that they fully support our highly respected two year guarantee. We find the fault rate very low from them, but should anything happen in your first two years of ownership, we will provide a replacement.
IR Night Vision - The downward facing camera is fitted with IR LED's that activate when it becomes dark. IR light is beyond the visible spectrum of the human eye, so you won't be blinding anyone behind you with light. The camera will see it, and use it to see obstacles behind your van when it is dark. Another bonus about our external lens is not having the IR LED's behind a glass lens cover. This means you get a really good contrast at night time, with none of the haziness sometimes seen with glass lens cover versions.
Maintains a Tidy Factory Look - This brake light reverse camera was designed to fit perfectly where the OEM brake light used to be. If you didn't tell anyone, most people would assume it was a factory addition. The brake light works just as well as the original.
Increases Safety Whilst Driving and Reversing - With two cameras present, you will increase your awareness of what is to the rear of your vehicle, whether you are driving forward, or reversing backwards. The rear view camera can be left on all the time whilst you drive, then swap to the downward facing camera when you go in to reverse.
