Can I use this camera for front view as well?

The AE-VC253T-IT is designed as a rear view camera but can be used for any application requiring a wide-angle CVBS camera. It is not recommended for forward-facing due to lack of license plate illumination.

How do I clean the camera lens?

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lens. Do not use alcohol or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the coating.

What is the power consumption?

The camera consumes less than 5W at 12V DC. It is recommended to use a regulated power supply to avoid damage.

Is the camera compatible with my existing reversing system?

If your reversing system accepts CVBS composite video input, this camera should be compatible. Check that the voltage and connector type match.

What is the field of view angle?

The camera offers a 120° wide-angle view, providing a broad rear perspective to minimize blind spots.
