5 things you need to know about tailgate handle backup cameras

If you have been considering buying a tailgate handle backup camera, but you do not have enough information, and you would like to learn more about them, then following are 5 facts you should know.

1. They are Vehicle Specific

Vehicle specific tailgate handle backup camera systems are actually specific to certain vehicles.

This means that a system designed for one truck cannot fit into another truck.

The reason is because each auto-maker designs its pickup truck in a unique way, including the tailgate, and of course, the tailgate handle.

There are sometimes, even differences between different models of a particular truck brand.

Most tailgate handle backup cameras therefore have a specific pickup make and model years that it will match.

The camera systems are available for most popular trucks, but always check the model year, because most popular tucks keep changing almost every year.

2. They Look Cool

The beauty of installing a vehicle specific tailgate handle backup camera, is for this particular reason: They look cool.

Compared with the alternatives, which include number-plate cameras, or ugly looking cabin-roof mounted cameras, an OEM tailgate handle camera fits perfectly with the rest of the car.

It is not only mounted at the right height for a camera, it is also, so inconspicuous that the driver behind you won’t even notice it.

3. Perfect OEM Color & Size Fit

Since tailgate handle cameras are designed to be vehicle specific, you can expect an OEM quality tailgate handle that looks exactly like the factory-fitted one.

The only difference between the two, will be the camera that is fitted into the new handle.

Not only are the shapes, corners and size exactly the same, the colors will also match, from black, to white, silver, gray e.t.c.

4. No Vehicle Modification Required

One good thing about tailgate handle backup cameras, is that there are no modifications to be made to the vehicle.

The tailgate handle camera system comes as a replacement for the factory-fitted tailgate handle, all you have to do is to remove the old handle, and install the new one.

The two are always alike, and will even use the same screws where needed.

This is much better than having to drill installation holes, or modifying the vehicle in any other way, just to install the backup camera.

In fact, for most truck models without a factory-fitted backup camera, individual vehicle components are usually found that aid in the easy installation of after-market backup camera systems.

This is especially true for trucks where tailgate handle cameras are an option during purchase.

5. Weather Proof

Since the cameras are designed to be in the car’s exterior, they are also designed to properly withstand the elements.

Many will come with an IP67 rating, offering complete protection against rain, dust and all other effects of extreme weather conditions.

Not only are the camera and electronic components safe, the tailgate handle itself is usually OEM quality, and thus built to last.

Conclusion

As you can see from the above information about tailgate handle cameras, there is no better backup camera system for a pickup truck, than a tailgate handle camera system. If you are a truck owner, then it’s probably time to stop comparing and considering, because a tailgate handle camera, is most probably what you need.
