If you own a car without a rear windshield, such as a pickup truck or minivan, or if your car’s rear window is tinted, you know the challenges of using an interior rear dash camera. VIOFO’s new RWC200 waterproof rear camera is a game-changer. It is compatible with A229 Pro and A229 Plus dashcams, and enables hassle-free exterior car installation, capturing clear and direct footage.
The new RWC200 comes with significant upgrades, featuring Sony’s latest STARVIS 2 image sensor, supporting 2K Quad HD resolution and HDR function. This blog will explore the RWC200 waterproof rear camera and highlight its excellent features.
Why We Designed a Waterproof Rear Camera?
1. Robust Protection
For vehicles like pickup trucks and small vans without rear windshields, a waterproof rear camera ensures that the camera is safeguarded against rain, snow, or car washes, allowing it to function reliably over long periods. The IP67 waterproof rear camera is highly resistant to dust and water. It can withstand water exposure and other harsh outdoor conditions.
2. Flexible Installation
The waterproof design allows for more versatile installation options. The rear camera can be mounted in various locations such as near the license plate or on the rear bumper, accommodating different vehicle types and user preferences.
3. Increased Safety
The rear camera provides real-time footage of the rear view, which is crucial for vehicles with poor rear visibility like pickups and vans. A waterproof rear dash camera helps minimize blind spots while offering vital video evidence in case of incidents.
What You Need to Know About RWC200?
Compatible Model
The RWC200 waterproof rear camera is compatible with VIOFO A229 Pro and A229 Plus series.
IP67 Waterproof
The RWC200 waterproof rear camera boasts an IP67 waterproof rating and features a hydrophobic design. The waterproof lens coating provides a protective layer to the lens and enhances its ability to repel water, prevent fogging, or resist dirt accumulation. So the RWC200 ensures a crystal-clear recording in rainy conditions.
Additionally, the IP67 rear camera can withstand harsh conditions like dust and water compared to regular rear cameras. The “IP” means “Ingress Protection” while the “67” stands for the specific rating. The first digit indicates the level of protection against dust. It ranges from 0 to 6. So “6” means that the rear camera is completely protected from dust entry. The second digit indicates the level of protection against water. It ranges from 0 to 9. So “7” means protection against temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes.
2K Resolution
The RWC200 rear camera records in upgraded 2K Quad HD resolution with Sony STARVIS 2 IMX675 image sensor, the same as the A229 Pro’s regular rear camera. This sensor provides an impressive 2.5 times wider dynamic range in a single exposure than the STARVIS pixel of the same size, capturing exceptionally clear and sharp videos during day and night rear recording.
HDR Capability
The RWC200 waterproof rear camera features HDR technology, which balances dark and bright areas to accurately capture 2K details in low light conditions. When the camera is installed behind the car, the HDR function is essential to suppress the glare from headlights of trailing vehicles, otherwise, the image will be dazzling, making it possible to read license plates.
Flexible Installation
The RWC200 waterproof rear camera offers flexible connectivity with optional cable lengths of 7.5 meters, 9.5 meters, or 14.5 meters, catering to diverse vehicle models including minivans, pickup trucks, jeeps, SUVs, and RVs. Its installation options, whether near the license plate or on the rear bumper, meet various vehicle types and user preferences.
Conclusion
The RWC200 waterproof rear camera delivers 2K recording behind your car and offers protection against water in various weather conditions, which is ideal for vehicles without rear windshields, such as pickup trucks and minivans.
