About the Boyo VTLBSD1
Well-equipped for the trip
Well-equipped for the trip
If you spend a lot of time on the road in a vehicle that's not equipped with driver-assistance technology, Boyo's VTLBSD1 is a great all-in-one solution that takes some of the stress out of navigating parking lots and headin' down the highway. Boyo builds a compact, all-weather camera and sensors into an ultra-slim license plate frame, so your new gear will blend well with your vehicle's factory look.
Active parking lines and LED lights
Backing into and out of a tight space in a busy parking lot is no fun, but with active parking lines that bend as you maneuver, you'll have a better sense of where you're reversing. Plus, built-in cross-traffic detection alerts you to any passing traffic as you back up.
And to enhance your parking experience, built-in LED lights and a 175º wide-angle view provide an excellent picture even in dim parking garages and on dark nights.
Convenient blind spot detection
Boyo's blind spot detection system provides visual and audible alerts via indicators you mount on your dash or door A-pillars. When you use your turn signal, the VTLBSD1 alerts you if you're veering into another vehicle in your blind spot. That's great reassurance for those moments when your brain is on cruise control.
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.

Feature
Backup Camera: Designed primarily as a backup camera, the Boyo VTLBSD1's default display is a Reverse or Mirror image. If a Normal image is desired, a white looped wire on the camera's cable can be cut for a Normal display.
- 1/3" CMOS image sensor: The camera utilizes a 1/3" CMOS image sensor with a resolution of 976 x 592 total pixels.
- Auto White Balance: The camera's dynamic iris automatically corrects white balance for the best viewing image in bright or low light.
- 175-degree viewing angle: The VTLBSD1 provides a 175-degree (diagonal) viewing angle with Lens Distortion Correction (LDC).
Built-In LEDs: The Boyo VTLBSD1 features two built-in super bright LED lights to help see better at night. The camera has a minimum illumination range of 0.1 Lux. A green wire that is attached to the license plate frame must be connected to a switched power source, such as the vehicle's reverse wire or to the fuse box using an optional toggle switch (not included).
Dynamic Park Assist Lines: The Boyo VTLBSD1 will display park assist lines on your connected monitor to aid you in backing up into a parking spot. A built-in gyro-sensor allows the park assist lines to dynamically curve as you steer and angle your vehicle.
Note: The camera comes default with the parking guide lines On. However, you can cut the blue looped wire on the camera's cable can to remove the parking guide lines.
Blind Spot Detection: The Boyo VTLSBD1 also offers blind spot detection through the included sensor module, two LED flashers, and two sensors built into the license plate frame. The sensor module mounts inside the vehicle, while the two LED flashers mount on the driver side and passenger side front pillars. The two sensors built-in the license plate frame will be on the outside of the vehicle.
- Lane Change Assistance: The two mounted LED flashers will light up when there is an object approaching from the blind area on the left or right side of your vehicle at a speed over 20 mph. If you trigger your turn signal, when the unit senses something in your blind spot, the LED flashers will blink and a buzzer will sound from the installed sensor module inside the vehicle.
- Note: Due to detection distance range, a vehicle traveling faster than your vehicle in the blind spot detection area (two lanes away) may give false warnings as a vehicle approaching toward your vehicle.
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert: When your vehicle is backing out of a parking space, you will be alerted with warning lights from the mounted LED flasher and buzzer sound from the sensor module when cross traffic is approaching at a very slow speed or when a pedestrian is approaching.
- Note: This unit detects objects which travel above a certain speed. When an object, a person, or a vehicle is moving across at below the threshold it may not trigger the alarm in reverse mode. An object must approach the vehicle at 0.35 mph or above to be detected.
Notes:
- Speed Range: 0.35-175 mph
- GPS Speed Detection: above 25 mph
- Speed Accuracy: <0.5 mph
- Detection Range: 90 degrees (horizontal)
- Detection Distance: 1-60' (vehicle), 1-33' (motorcycle), and 1-23' (pedestrian)
Composite Video: The Boyo VTLBSD1 uses a standard composite video cable and connector for compatibility with practically any in-dash monitor with a composite video input. The included composite video extension cable is 24' in length, providing up to 29' of total length when combined with the other included adapters and cables.
Power & Ground: The camera's power (red) & ground (black) wires, as well as the LEDs' green wire will need to be hardwired. Power can be obtained from your vehicle's reverse light circuit or from the +12V accessory wire of your aftermarket stereo (if applicable). The ground will need to be connected to your vehicle's metal chassis.
Weatherproof License Plate Frame: The Boyo VTLBSD1's integrated license plate frame is designed to mount around a standard license plate using the included hardware. The camera angle can be manually adjusted up or down to match practically any license plate height. The zinc alloy license plate frame and camera housing are weatherproof and carry an IP68 rating for long-lasting outdoor use.
