Different Commercial Vehicles Need Different Rear Views. A rear camera does not necessarily need to provide the same viewing perspective on every vehicle. A truck operating in a narrow working area may require a more focused rear image, while a trailer or bus may need broader coverage of the area behind the vehicle. This difference in installation requirements has created demand for Vehicle Cameras and Rear View Cameras that can be adapted to different monitoring situations rather than relying on a single fixed viewing angle. Carleader's Day Night Rear View Camera with 50 degree/120 degree Viewing Angle for Commercial Vehicles was developed around this requirement. The CL-808 offers two lens and viewing-angle configurations, allowing installers to select a perspective according to the vehicle size, mounting position and monitoring area.
One Rear View Camera, Two Viewing Perspectives
The most notable feature of the CL-808 is the choice between 50° and 120° viewing angles. The 6mm lens provides a 50° focused rear view, making it suitable when a narrower monitoring perspective is preferred. The 2.8mm lens provides a 120° wide rear view, helping cover a larger area behind vehicles such as trucks, buses and trailers. This makes the product useful for different Truck Rear Cameras, Truck Backup Cameras, Commercial Vehicle Rear Cameras and Fleet Camera Systems, while allowing distributors and installers to select the configuration that fits their project. Instead of treating every vehicle camera installation in the same way, the two configurations provide a more flexible approach to rear-area monitoring.
Day and Night Vehicle Monitoring in One Camera
Commercial vehicles can operate throughout the day and night, meaning rear visibility cannot depend solely on daytime lighting conditions. The CL-808 integrates an automatic IR-Cut day/night switching function, allowing the camera to automatically change its imaging mode according to surrounding light conditions. The camera also provides 0.01 LUX minimum illumination with 10 LED, adding illumination support when the vehicle is operating in darker environments. For fleet operators, this makes the camera suitable for applications involving nighttime transportation, early-morning deliveries, parking areas, loading zones and other low-light operating conditions.
AHD1080P Support for Modern Vehicle Camera Systems
Today's commercial vehicle monitoring systems can use different generations of displays and recording equipment. A camera therefore needs to work with more than one video standard in order to fit different system configurations. The CL-808 supports CVBS, AHD720P and AHD1080P video options. This allows the Rear View Camera to be integrated with compatible vehicle monitors, DVRs and MDVR systems.
For vehicle electronics distributors, installers and fleet system integrators, this provides flexibility when upgrading an existing Vehicle Camera System or building a new Commercial Vehicle Monitoring System.
50° or 120°: Choosing the Right Camera for the Application
The two viewing configurations can serve different installation requirements:
- 50° / 6mm lens: A focused rear-view perspective for applications where a narrower field of view is preferred.
- 120° / 2.8mm lens: A wider rear monitoring area for larger vehicles or applications where broader rear coverage is required.
This approach can be particularly useful for Truck Camera, Trailer Camera, Bus Camera and Fleet Camera projects, where vehicle dimensions and camera mounting locations can vary significantly.
Built for Exterior Commercial Vehicle Applications
Rear cameras installed on trucks, buses and trailers can be exposed to rain, road spray, dust and frequent vehicle washing. Durability therefore becomes an important consideration when selecting an exterior Commercial Vehicle Camera. The CL-808 features an IP69K waterproof rating and is specified for operating temperatures from -20°C to +75°C, with storage temperatures from -30°C to +85°C. This makes the camera suitable for exterior rear monitoring applications where environmental protection is required.
Applications Across Commercial Transportation
The flexible viewing-angle design allows the CL-808 to be used across multiple commercial vehicle applications, including:
- Truck Reversing Camera — rear visibility during reversing and maneuvering
- Truck Rear Camera — rear-area monitoring
- Trailer Rear Camera — wider coverage behind long trailers
- Bus Rear Camera — rear monitoring for buses and coaches
- Commercial Vehicle Camera — exterior vehicle monitoring
- Fleet Camera System — integration with multi-camera fleet systems
- Vehicle Surveillance Camera — continuous rear-area observation
- Vehicle Monitoring System — integration with DVR and MDVR platforms
The camera can also be combined with front-view and side-view cameras to build a broader multi-camera vehicle monitoring system.
A Flexible Rear Camera Platform for Fleet and Commercial Vehicle Suppliers. The Day Night Rear View Camera with 50 degree/120 degree Viewing Angle for Commercial Vehicles is designed around a simple but important requirement: different commercial vehicles can require different rear viewing perspectives. By combining 50° and 120° viewing options, automatic day/night switching, low-light capability, CVBS/AHD video compatibility and IP69K protection, the CL-808 can be configured for different Rear View Camera, Backup Camera, Truck Camera, Vehicle Camera and Commercial Vehicle Camera applications. For distributors, vehicle electronics installers and fleet monitoring companies looking for a Commercial Vehicle Camera Supplier, Truck Camera Manufacturer or Rear View Camera Manufacturer, the CL-808 provides a flexible option for different vehicle camera projects.
