An RV backup camera is a type of vehicle observation system for your motorhome or camper trailer. Typically, a complete system is comprised of multiple cameras, as well as a monitoring screen. It is intended to give you visibility of different areas around your RV for security and safety.
The bigger your RV, the harder it is to see every angle, particularly while you’re sitting in the cab of your vehicle. An RV camera system provides greater safety as you back your camper into a parking space or campsite, making it easier to avoid trees, poles, and other vehicles. It also gives you visibility if a child or other person enters the area.
RV cameras can also provide observation capabilities while driving, especially when they allow for 360-degree views. You can see everything around you while traveling down the road, reducing blind spots to help avoid collisions. And if you want to take your RV into a tighter-than-normal space, the 360-degree view can help you navigate with precision.
The right vehicle cameras don't stop performing just because you’re parked. Furrion cameras can continue to capture the area around your trailer or RV, so you know exactly what's outside and can rest peacefully inside.
The backup camera parts listed below are the individual components that make up a complete backup camera system. These components are available individually, or they can be purchased together as a complete kit in a single package.
The monitor is the viewing screen that displays footage from the camera(s) mounted on the outside of the RV. Typically, the monitor can be mounted on the RV windshield or on a level surface, such as a tabletop.
The rear view camera or "sharkfin camera" is mounted on the back of the trailer and provides a clear, top-down view of the area behind it. The Furrion rear backup camera comes with a built-in red LED brake light and has a wide viewing angle of 120-degrees.
A complete backup camera system also comes with two side cameras, one mounted on each side of the RV. These cameras are especially important for keeping eyes on your trailer blind spots.
This over-the-door camera can be installed over your entryway door for increased doorway security or at the back of the RV. You can easily view visitors without opening the door, as well as scan your campsite and patio area.
There are several different brackets used in a backup camera system, but generally, there are two types: brackets to attach the cameras to the outside of the RV and a bracket to mount the monitor.
A power cable is used to plug the monitor into the RV electrical system, typically using the cigarette-lighter-style socket in the dash of the vehicle. The monitor connects wirelessly to the various cameras, but it still requires power.
When you’re out on the road or going off grid, parts of your camera system can get damaged or lost. Furrion carries a complete collection of various spare parts and replacement components for your camera system to keep your system running strong.
Installing a backup camera / security camera system on your RV is fairly simple, but it does require some splicing and wiring into the existing 12-volt or 24-volt system. Even though the monitor and cameras may be synced wirelessly, a connection to power is still necessary, and there are other electrical features to account for.
For this reason, a specialist is recommended for proper installation. Some of the steps involved include drilling a few holes into the walls of your RV, connecting wires to a power source, mounting the brackets and cameras, adjusting the camera angles and pairing the monitor with the cameras.
Be sure to follow the specific instructions provided with your backup camera system.
An RV backup camera system requires little to no maintenance once installed. However, it is important to take proper care of your system and clean the monitor on occasion. Below are a few guidelines.

IP cameras rely on a WiFi connection. The Furrion Vision S+ RV camera uses a 2.4GHz dedicated digital connection that is much more reliable and five times stronger than the WiFi connection of an IP camera.
Also, IP cameras function with a slight lag — up to one second — between what the camera captures and what the screen displays. This is because the signal has to pass through an open WiFi network. It doesn't sound like much, but one second is all that's needed to prevent a potential accident.
The Furrion observation camera system uses exclusive signal transfer technology that creates a direct link from camera to monitor. The result is a connection that meets automotive standards of less than 0.2 seconds of picture delay.
Furrion Vision S+ also captures sound at the camera site and delivers it to the monitor. That's an added benefit over IP cameras because you can hear what's going on at the back of your RV. You can also send someone outside to help spot you when backing up, and you can hear feedback from the spotter over the device.
The 2.4GHz wireless digital connection is stable over longer distances. The monitor will continue to display high-quality video and audio long-range, up to 492 feet away from the camera. This provides more flexibility while you’re setting up and enjoying your campsite, whether you’re off-grid, at a campground or parked at a vacation spot. Take the monitor to a neighboring campsite and keep an eye on things back at your site with ease.
Most infrared (IR) or other camera systems work using night vision technology that causes colors to show up differently in the dark. Greens might appear as a dark purple, for example, and people and animals show up as bright white. Furrion cameras are equipped with a built-in IR color shutter. This filters the night vision images back to true color and provides a more accurate image to help you distinguish obstacles or dangers.
Ultimately, the Furrion Vision S+ is a comprehensive vehicle observation system with many uses. It supports safe, secure driving and activity while you enjoy your adventure on the open road.
