【Car accessories】 Smaller than a 1 yen coin!? A super compact camera that can be hidden in emblems and license plates.

I want to attach a backup camera but don’t want it to stand out──fulfilling such selfish wishes of the author is MAXWIN's "CAM52." It’s an ultra-compact size smaller than a one yen coin. It supports switching between normal and mirror images, and can also be used as a front or side camera, which is great!

Can be installed as an embedded type with the included installation kit

The width of the camera is 12mm, allowing it to be hidden and installed in various places such as license plates and emblems, making it almost invisible.

Using the included installation kit, it is also possible to use it as an embedded type.

Compact yet meets the standard for back cameras.

The resolution of interest is 640×480 pixels, which is decent, and it captures a wide range with a horizontal angle of view of 120° and a diagonal of 170°.

It is compliant with IP67 for waterproofing and dustproofing, and there are no shortcomings in weather resistance either.

The camera can switch between normal and mirror images by cutting the cable.

The connection cable is 8m long, connect the red color to the camera power and the black color to the ground. If using it as a backup camera, it is necessary to connect the linked cable to the monitor.

The yellow cable in the cable connected to the camera body can be cut to enable the correct image display.
