Resolution and Viewing AngleĪnother thing you’ll need to consider is the picture clarity and viewing angle you want, with the widest angle and highest resolution giving you most visual information. ![]() For power, your camera may use batteries or it will need to be hardwired to the car’s battery system. Wireless makes installation easier, but there is an added risk of a less stable connection. Some kits may use old-fashioned component cables, while others use wireless methods. That connection is what you’ll need to pay attention to when installing a backup camera. Kedem said you can use a dedicated cable, but that becomes expensive, and also not every tractor and trailer is going to be equipped with connectors for those dedicated cables unless the tractor and trailer is owned by the same company that could afford to install a dedicated cable across all assets.At the most basic level, a backup camera is just a miniature video camera placed on the rear of the vehicle connected to a screen in the cabin. One of the challenges, too, is that the owner of the tractor often isn’t the owner of the trailer, so the connection factor is a problem when it comes time to drop and hook. “If you combine all of this together, what we are giving is a cost-effective solution, using a very low-cost harness and reliable link because of our fine digital file to deliver a very strong noise-cancellation mechanism, basically securing error-free link and accessing the operational flexibility for the fleets,” Kedem said. The unique DSP, coupled with the low frequency, enables the VA600R to distribute high-speed, error-free data over distances of up to 131 feet/40 meters, while still maintaining a strong signal throughout the link without the use of expensive repeaters. Increasing the distance data must travel increases the signal attenuation and the effects of EMI. The other challenge, he said, is vehicle length. It's a very unstable link very noisy, so we're actually the only one who is able to deliver video over power.” So we are crossing this bridge here over a standard power cable. “We took the power cable, which is giving power to the trailer – giving the trailer the ability to have lighting around it, the blinker signals, the braking system all those signals need power to come from the engine to the back of the trailer. But they have different functions, and you don't really have an available cable to transmit the video,” Kedem said. “Today, when you are connecting a trailer to a tractor, there are some standard cables already implemented on all trucks and trailers. ![]() Using the truck’s standard jumper cable and simple UTP cable, the VA600R maintains a high-speed, high-bandwidth link capacity that's enough to provide a video link from the back of the trailer to the cabin up front. ![]() Because tractors and trailers are separate units, creating that space for electromagnetic interference, a rearview camera needs to bridge the gap over existing cable infrastructure to maintain the ability to attach and detach the trailer. ![]()
