When it comes to safety on and off the road, the addition of a reversing camera system has become a standard. In fact, in the United States, it was announced that all new cars that will be released starting 2018 should be equipped with these cameras.

This is the main reason why reversing camera systems are now popular, and often a recommended investment for commercial and industrial applications.

We know that it’s a valuable equipment worth every dollar spent. But do you know what comes inside a reversing camera system kit?
