Best backup cameras for automotive in 2021

 

1 - AUTO-VOX CS-2 Wireless Backup Camera Kit

If you want easy installation and great picture quality, the AUTO-VOX CS-2 offers the best of both worlds. As it's a wireless camera, you should have no problem attaching the camera (with build-in wireless transmitter) to the back of your car, or mounting the suction-cup enabled screen to your dashboard. That means you can save money by avoiding installation fees with this wireless system.

While wired cameras are more reliable than wireless ones on the whole, the CS-2 -- like the other wireless cameras we've included here -- is an exception to that rule. The camera uses digital wireless transmission (as opposed to analog), which means that there's virtually no interference from other signals and no distortion to the image. Plus, the signal is strong, with AUTO-VOX recommending the camera for any vehicle less than 32 feet long.

Rear View Safety Backup Camera System

Rear View Safety's 4 Camera Setup with Quad View Display allows RV drivers to get the most complete view of their surroundings -- and they can take everything in all at once. There are four cameras in total: two to be mounted on the rear of the RV (with 130-degree viewing angles) and one for either side (with 120-degree viewing angles). The split-screen monitor can show feeds from all of the cameras at once, or just the feeds the driver chooses to see.

In addition to transmitting video, this RV backup camera system also transmits audio, so even if you've got the air conditioner blasting or some music playing, you'll be aware of the sights and sounds of the road. Plus, the fact that this is a wired camera system ensures the integrity of the transmission -- and while you may need professional help to install this rearview camera, some Amazon reviewers reported that they were able to do it themselves without too much trouble.

3 - Toguard 1080P Mirror Backup Camera

Whether you have a backup camera or not, odds are that you're used to looking at your rearview mirror periodically. Not only were many of us initially taught to incorporate the mirror while backing up, but unless you have a display with the specific capability, it's the only way to see what's going on behind you while you're driving forward.

Toguard's Backup Camera combines that natural inclination with the high-tech features of today's driving experience by way of a display that replaces your rearview mirror and provides a similar -- but superior -- view. The display functions as a touchscreen and has picture-in-picture capabilities to show a feed provided by the included dash cam. All footage can be recorded and played back.
