Overview
PixelMan's upgraded AHD backup camera pairs a larger 1/2.7 inch imaging chip with a 170 degree lens and switchable HD/AHD output, built for owners wanting sharper color and low light performance than a basic 1/4 inch sensor camera.
The chip size is the headline spec: PixelMan compares its 1/2.7 inch sensor to the 1/4 inch chip used in more basic reversing cameras, pointing to brighter, more saturated color and stronger night performance as the practical result. The camera connects over RCA and is built for screens with an RCA input; PixelMan states directly that it does not work with dash cam or mirror camera systems, which is worth checking before ordering.
- 1/2.7 inch AHD sensor, larger than typical 1/4 inch cameras
- 170 degree F1.4 aperture wide angle lens
- Alloy housing sealed with nano waterproof glue, IP69
- Two mounting brackets: surface and license plate
Who it's for
Owners installing or replacing a rear camera on a car, SUV or RV who have a screen with an RCA input and want a sharper picture than an entry-level camera, particularly in low light. It is not a fit for anyone whose display expects a dash cam or mirror camera connector.
Pros and cons
- Larger 1/2.7 inch sensor than typical 1/4 inch basic cameras
- Switchable HD/AHD output for sharper display support
- 170 degree F1.4 aperture lens for stronger low light
- Two mounting options including a hidden license plate install
- RCA connector only, not compatible with dash cam or mirror camera systems
- Needs a monitor that supports AHD signal to get the full 1080p output
Performance notes
PixelMan builds the housing by sealing the lens and circuit board inside an alloy shell with waterproofing glue rather than relying on rubber gaskets, aiming at a housing that does not expand or contract with temperature swings, which the company points to as the usual failure point on cheaper cameras. Two mounting options are included, a bracket for surface mounting and a license plate bracket for a hidden install, and the wiring uses a thicker copper core cable than typical thin gauge camera wire.
