OEM camera for

Car models for which this camera is standard.

Reversing cameras can be created both in the form of universal devices and for specific car brands. The key advantage of the second option is ease of installation: the camera is designed for a specific “seat” (like a boot handle, license plate light, etc. — see “Installation type”) and does not require special tricks for installation. Yes, and connecting the "eye" to the on-board network and the screen, usually, is also not a problem. At the same time, such devices are usually produced for one car model, at best — for 3-4 similar models; installation on a "non-native" machine is often even more difficult than mounting a universal camera. It is also worth noting that the choice of standard cameras for each particular machine is rather small — definitely less than the range of universal models. Therefore, there is a high probability that this type of camera, which is easy to install, will not be suitable for some of the parameters (for example, resolution).

Сolour encoding system

The colour system refers to the format in which colour information is transmitted in an analogue video signal. In modern reversing cameras, the European PAL system or the American NTSC are most often used. It makes no sense to describe them in detail — suffice it to say that for the normal operation of the camera you need a radio tape recorder (or other device with a screen on which the image is displayed) with support for the same colour system. However, incompatibility in this parameter is not fatal — with such a connection, the image will only turn from colour to black and white (in extreme cases, its overall quality will slightly deteriorate).
