Affordable backup cameras offer additional visibility for many driving situations

As of May 2018, NHTSA has required all vehicles with a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or less to be equipped with a backup camera, or rearview video system as the feds like to call it. But if you don’t own a newer vehicle or didn’t option for reverse assistance when they used to cost extra, don’t fret.

Many late-model vehicles, even without navigation, have large display screens that can double as a video screen, and older cars can utilize camera-monitor kits. From reversing into tight spots, backing out of driveways, or as added safety when towing or trailering, backup cameras can offer extra visibility without costing a fortune.
