About the Optix TLP150HDW
Sleek solution
Sleek solution
Optix has made a versatile and sleek back up cam that works with any vehicle, thanks to three seamless mounting options. The Optix TLP150HDW backup camera looks great... and so does the picture it provides. You'll gain a 130° view with resolution up to 720p and excellent night vision. This camera is compatible with any receiver or monitor with a composite video input (RCA).
Several mounting options
The TLP150HDW iincludes several mounting options: flush-mount, license plate-mount, and surface-mount. And if you opt for the license plate mount, Optix ensures as little of your license plate is obscured as possible, thanks to an innovative design.
Installing this camera yourself? Here's what you should know.
What does it do? Unless otherwise noted, a backup camera is only intended for use backing up your vehicle. (If you require a front-view or constant rear-view camera, check for that capability.)
What tools and supplies will I need? A panel tool, a wire cutter/stripper, a soldering iron, and a rosin-core solder with heat shrink tubing are recommended, along with whatever tools are needed to remove the radio from the dash.
How much wiring is required? Wiring instructions vary from camera to camera. Some cameras have power wiring that can only be connected near the radio. Others let you power the camera at compatible reverse lights. In all cases, the camera must be wired for power and ground, the camera's video output must be connected to the radio/monitor, and the radio/monitor must be connected to a reverse trigger in your vehicle. Some radio replacement interfaces supply a reverse trigger wire for the radio -- using that wire to power your camera will damage the interface.
Will the included video cable be long enough? You'll need to route the camera's video cable from its mounting location outside your vehicle into your vehicle's cabin and all the way to the screen in the dash. This often requires drilling a small hole in your vehicle or filing some metal and or plastic. You'll also need to estimate the length of cable needed to run from the camera to the dash, which will not be a straight shot. Each camera's cable length is listed.

Features
Front or Rear Camera: The Optix TLP150HDW can be configured as a rear or front camera, providing you with a clear wide-angle view of the rear or front of your vehicle. By default, the TLP150HDW camera is configured as a rearview camera with a mirror image. To switch it to a front-view camera simply cut the thin white wire on the camera's attached cable for a normal image.
Note: This camera is meant as a visual aid only; never solely rely on the camera. In addition to using the camera, always physically look to make sure everything is clear around your vehicle.
