Backup camera or Backup sensor

[lakers24]

Hi guys, i posted a similar subject but haven't got any reply yet so i tried to search a topic here and was directed to this thread. If you dont mind, i also wanted to avail a camera for the new fortuner 2013. It is a standard accessory for the 4x4. Though you can have it installed also in casa but the cost is too expensive. I heard from several guys that it is a lot cheaper outside of the casa but couldnt get a specific name or location as well as a contact number. If in case you know a shop that has these cameras, please share it here for us to benefit also the lower cost. Thanks a lot.

Ask your SA of toyota's authorized accessories provider sir, in mitsu it's winterpine in araneta ave. cause thru them there will be no issue on warranty. as for the price i agree with you reverse cam of strada from casa is 8.5k while it's only 3.5k in winterpine.

2 ang backup camera nila. 1 is drill type, must drill hole on the rear bumper like mine. 1 is the plate type, just screws on the license plate. both costs P1,500. madali daw nakawin ang plate type kaya hindi yun ang kinuha ko.

the backup camera was connected to Pioneer AVH-1450DVD. kay Jerry ko rin binili at the same time.

colored ang video ng camera sa araw at B/W sa gabi (IR night vision at work). may distance indicator siya from 0 to 5 meters. true view ang video nya kaya di ka malilito, i.e. para ka lang nakatingin sa rear view mirror, left is left and right is right.

ang 2 backup sensors ay stock sa Revo VX200. connected sila sa 1 small speaker. may beep-beep sound sya to warn you of obstacles.

for me, great combination talaga ang backup camera + backup sensor.

If I were to have only one, it'd be the parking sensors. As long as they're placed properly on your bumper (i.e. not all in the middle like in other people's cars), they'd do a lot in assisting you as you park. Always keep in mind that these sensors are supplementary only, you should be able to park even without them. It shouldn't be an excuse to be lazy.

Anyway, I prefer the parking sensors over the camera because it's more intuitive to use. Before the days of rear view cameras, everyone had to glance through his rear windscreen to see if his parking is good enough. Pretty hard to do that and look at the HU at the same time right?

Of course, if you can afford both, get both, though I wouldn't suggest getting a camera without the backup sensors.

just follow the installation instruction included in the parking sensor kit and you're good to go.

example with 2 parking sensors..



example with 4 parking sensors..

[Mguy]

going to follow the advise here and will install both. I've already installed the backup camera.



And since this kind did not require me to drill holes on the bumper, I will now install the no-drill backup sensors this weekend.

^how much for that type of camera?

I had this one bundled at casa with the AVT 2-din DVD/FM/GPS/TV tuner. I think there was an additional cost of 2k but I believe its a lot cheaper outside of the casa.

Sir, what is the advantage of having four(4) eyelets compared to two(2)? required ba talaga four(4) eyelets for safety purposes?

[Galactus]

I have both, but honestly I rely more on the rear sensors than the rear-view camera. Pogi points lang yun eh, hehehe.

I bought the 2-eye Fujito brand back sensor for 1.2k in Banawe. Came with free installation, and after 2 years, it's still working so its money well spent.

4 sensors have more total area covered.

Not necessarily. Remember that you still have your rear view mirror + 2 side mirrors to guide you when parking/reversing. So whatever suits your budget would be fine. 2 sensor kit costs P900 and up. 4 sensor kit costs P1,400 and up.

[aramid]

best to have 4 back sensors. I'm planning to add a back camera to give me additional aid.

Both would be nice to have as an aid for the driver especially in very tight situations. Yes you can always go down and visually inspect the path but in cases wherein the the path may be submerged in water or mud then having the camera to guide you would be a great help.

Good pm po mga sir..

sorry medyo O.T lang. ask ko lang po bakit yung back camera ko di sya nag aautomatic na nalabas sa head unit ko pag reverse.. kelangan ko pa iclick yung aux/input dun sa headunit unit ko para makita yung video.. normal lang po ba yun or may tamang settings sa head unit ko? T.I,A

Hi everyone, I have been reading a lot on this forum re backup cameras.

I have been given a recommendation na it's better to have the backup camera mounted on the rear view rather than on the head unit. Mas madali daw for the driver.

Also, has anyone tried this brand?

EONON L0415 Rear View Monitor *can't post the url, please look it up via their website. eonon.com

Pls feel free to comment and give your recos as well.

Thanks!
