See Everything Behind You. No Wiring. No Electrician. No Problem.
The rearview170 is a solar-powered wireless reverse camera built for Australian drivers who want a proper rear view without running a single wire through their vehicle. Designed in Queensland, it installs in under 10 minutes and works on everything from utes and vans to caravans, horse floats, motorhomes and trailers. If your vehicle didn't come with a reversing camera, or your factory camera is no longer up to the job, the rearview170 is a practical, no-fuss fix.
Unlike standard reversing cameras that only activate in reverse gear, the rearview170 lets you see what's behind you anytime, whether you're reversing, parked, or driving forward down the highway.
📡 Key Features
📐 170-Degree Wide-Angle Lens
With an adjustable 170-degree field of view, you'll see almost everything behind you. That's wider than virtually every other wireless reversing camera on the market at this price point and wide enough to spot a child or a pet that a narrower camera would miss entirely.
☀️ Solar Powered with 5200mAh Battery
Four integrated monocrystalline solar panels keep the camera charged through everyday use. The 5200mAh lithium battery holds a full charge for approximately three weeks, and the white battery housing means it starts charging the moment sunlight hits it. A USB charging cable is also included for overcast days.
📺 5-Inch HD Colour Monitor
The included 5-inch touch screen monitor delivers a clear picture day and night. It plugs straight into your cigarette lighter socket and mounts to your dash or grille. No complex setup required, just plug it in, press the button, and you have a clean, interference-free signal.
🔧 10-Minute DIY Install, No Wiring Required
There are no wires to run. No trim to pull. No auto electrician required. The entire system is wireless, so you can have it installed and working the day it arrives. It's also fully transferable between vehicles, making it ideal for people who regularly hire out or borrow caravans and trailers, or anyone who wants one camera that moves between their daily driver, work vehicle, and weekend tow rig.
🚗 Works While Driving Forward
Most reversing cameras only come on when you put the car in reverse. The rearview170 can be activated at any time using the monitor button or the power switch on the cigarette cord, giving you a live rear view while driving forward. This is particularly useful for caravan and trailer drivers who want to monitor traffic behind them on the open road.
⏱️ Built-In Timeout to Protect Battery Life
When using the forward-view mode while driving, the camera is designed to run on a timer to protect the battery. You can set the timeout anywhere from 2 minutes up to 2 hours. Once the screen turns off, switching it back on is quick, just press the power button on the monitor or the switch on the cigarette cord, and you're back on in seconds.
🎯 Fully Adjustable Camera Angle
Whether you want to see the tow ball up close or monitor the road for 100 metres behind you, the camera angle adjusts to suit. Great for caravan owners who need precise hitch alignment as well as drivers who just want a wide rear view.
🌧️ IP67 Waterproof Camera
The camera housing is rated IP67 waterproof and built from polycarbonate, the same material used in car bumpers. It's built to handle Australian conditions.
