A reverse camera shows what is directly behind your car while you back up — the area mirrors cannot cover. This guide explains what to check before buying, and how AutoYu's cameras differ.
1. Mounting style: fisheye or upmount
AutoYu offers two mounting styles. A fisheye camera uses a very wide lens for maximum coverage close to the bumper. An upmount camera mounts above the plate or bumper line and looks down across the space behind the car. Both are offered at the same resolution, so choose based on where the camera can physically fit on your vehicle.
2. Resolution and viewing angle
All AutoYu reverse cameras record at Full HD 1080p with a 170° wide viewing angle, which covers the width behind the car rather than a narrow strip.
3. AHD or CVBS output — check your screen
This is the compatibility detail buyers most often miss. AutoYu cameras are AHD/CVBS switchable, so the camera can output either the older analogue CVBS signal or the higher-definition AHD signal. Switchable output means one camera works with a wider range of head units. Confirm which input your screen expects.
4. Night vision and weather sealing
Reversing often happens in poor light, so AutoYu cameras include super night vision technology, a premium glass lens and IP68 water and dust protection for an exterior mounting position.

Pairing a camera with a screen
A reverse camera needs a display. AutoYu Android car screens list a reversing camera input, so the camera view appears on the screen when you select reverse. If your car already has a company-fitted Android screen, the metal-body cameras above are listed as compatible with it.
