This Brake Light Integrated Rear View Camera is a vehicle-specific rear visibility solution engineered for VW Crafter and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter commercial vans. Designed to replace the original high-mount stop lamp housing, the camera provides a discreet and factory-style installation while significantly improving rearward visibility for long-body and high-roof vehicles.
Unlike universal rear cameras, this unit is developed with vehicle-matched dimensions and mounting geometry, allowing it to install directly into the original brake light position without drilling, cutting, or modifying the vehicle body. This makes it suitable for OEM supply, fleet retrofits, and professional upfitting operations, where installation consistency and vehicle integrity are critical.

The camera module is fully integrated into the brake light assembly, preserving the original brake signal visibility while adding a high-angle rear camera. The elevated mounting position provides a natural downward viewing angle, significantly reducing blind zones directly behind the vehicle—an essential requirement for vans with tall rear doors, cargo configurations, or limited mirror visibility.
The housing is manufactured from automotive-grade ABS materials, with sealed construction to ensure long-term reliability under continuous exposure to rain, dust, vibration, and road contaminants. The optical window and camera module are fully sealed to IP67 standards, enabling stable operation in demanding commercial environments.
Equipped with an AHD or CVBS image sensor, the camera supports 720P or 1080P high-definition video output, ensuring clear image reproduction on both OEM head units and aftermarket displays. The wide-angle lens (up to 170°) captures a broad rear field of view, supporting safer reversing, docking, and low-speed maneuvering.
For nighttime or low-light conditions, the camera incorporates infrared LED illumination, automatically activating to provide consistent visibility in complete darkness. This feature is particularly valuable for fleet vehicles operating during night shifts, indoor warehouses, or poorly lit loading zones.
The camera outputs standard CVBS (PAL/NTSC) or AHD signals, allowing seamless integration with:
Power is supplied via the vehicle's 12V electrical system, typically linked to the reverse light circuit or dedicated camera power feed, depending on system design requirements. Optional connector types (RCA or aviation connectors) support different OEM or integrator wiring standards.
This brake light camera solution is engineered for:
By combining factory-style appearance, robust construction, and professional imaging performance, the system supports enhanced rear safety without altering the vehicle's exterior design.
For OEM customers and system integrators, the camera platform supports:
This makes the product suitable for long-term fleet deployment, OEM sourcing programs, and regional aftermarket distribution.
