Hey, what’s up! We have already
reviewed many backup cameras, for example, AUTO-VOX WP7Pro, AUTO VOX TW1, as well as rear
view mirror AUTO-VOX T9. We also have the new backup camera AUTO VOX CS-2 and DoHonest V25,
but we didn’t post videos about them yet. As you can see, there are many backup
cameras on the market, and it is quite difficult to choose the right one.
In this video, I want to tell you about the features you should pay
attention to when choosing backup camera. Please, hit the like button under this video,
and let’s get started! Camera
When choosing backup camera, first, you have to look at the camera itself. It is better to
choose a camera with resolution of 720P or even 1080P. For example, Auto-Vox W7Pro and
AUTO-VOX TW1 have 720P cameras, and the image quality is really good.
DoHonest V25 has 1080P camera. The image quality should be even better. However, it looks like the
monitor has 720p resolution, so the image is also 720P. It means that you should also pay attention
to the screen resolution, not only camera. We will talk about screen a little later.
I think that viewing angle also plays an important role. As a rule, the viewing angle of backup
cameras is between 110 and 130 degrees. However, some cameras even have 150 degrees viewing angle.
You know, the image quality of backup camera can be very good in daytime, but pretty bad at night.
Before buying backup camera, I recommend you to watch videos about it on YouTube,
especially, videos in low light conditions. By the way, all backup cameras should be
waterproof, and low/high temperature resistant, because they are installed on the outside of
the car. Screen
Backup cameras come with screens in the package. They have different diagonal and resolution. As
I already said, the resolution of the screen is really important, because if the camera is 1080P,
but the screen resolution is 720P, then the image quality will be also 720P. There
is no sense of 1080P camera with 720P display. The most common screen diagonal is 5 inches, but
AUTO-VOX CS-2 has 4.2 inches. I don’t think that you really need a big screen on the dashboard,
because then it would block the view. 2 Camera Channel
Many backup cameras, such as AUTO-VOX W7PRO, AUTO-VOX TW1 and DoHonest V25
have dual channel support. It means that you can connect two cameras to the monitor.
It is also very useful features, because you can install the first camera on the back of the car,
while the second camera is on the front or side of your vehicle.

Pay attention to the dual channel support, because some budget backup cameras doesn’t
have this feature. Installation
The installation process of most backup cameras is the same. You need to install the camera on
the license plate, and monitor on the dashboard. We can read on Amazon product pages that backup
cameras are wireless. It means that the camera is connected to the monitor wirelessly. However,
you need to connect the camera itself to a power source. In case of AUTO-VOX CS-2 and AUTO-VOX
W7Pro, the camera is connected to the rear lights. DoHonest V25 camera is connected to
cigarette lighter. However, AUTO-VOX has
truly wireless backup camera. AUTO-VOX TW1 is equipped 3350mAh built-in battery, so you
don’t even need to connect it to the car circuit. I think that cameras with a built-in battery
are much better because they are completely wireless, and they are much easier to install.
Parking lines All backup cameras that I
have tested have settings menu with brightness and contrast setup, as well as mirror or normal view.
However, I would like to draw your attention to the guidelines. All AUTO-VOX backup cameras
have guidelines, but you can only adjust them on DoHonest V25. I don't think it is a killer
feature, but it is a nice addition. Price
Like any other product, you should pay attention to the price of backup camera.
You know, the price depends on the features. For example, AUTO-VOX TW1 is the most expensive
backup camera that I have tested. Its price on Amazon is about $150 with coupon code.
However, it is also the best backup camera that I have tested, because it is truly wireless,
and it even supports solar panel charging. From other side, you can find really
good backup camera for only $100. I hope this video was useful for you,
and now you can choose a good backup camera. Thank you for watching!
