Drivers now have more options for mounting the RearSight back-up camera system from Rostra Precision Controls, thanks to the company’s new 5-in. mounting stem. The new stem means the in-vehicle monitor can be mounted to a vehicle’s windshield, making it ideal for trucks, vans and vehicles that are not equipped with rearview mirrors.

Rostra’s RearSight (part #250-8122) features a heavy-duty, waterproof CCD color image camera, providing the driver with a 150-degree wide-angle view from behind the rear of the truck. In addition, valuable infrared night vision and a microphone on the camera allow the driver to hear and see what’s going on behind the truck.

Inside the cab, a 5-in. TFT-LCD color monitor can be installed in less than an hour using the stem mount
(professional installation is recommended) and features two audio/video inputs for additional views or use with
an aftermarket navigation system.

For commercial fleet owners who operate a wide variety of trucks and vans, this new mounting option lets them
benefit from the RearSight technology no matter what the vehicle characteristics, the company says. RearSight is available in several kit packages to fit driver-specific needs.
