The RVS-659 Flush Mount Backup Camera (FMVSS 111 Compliant) mounts flush to the back of the vehicle and is fully compliant with the new regulation regardless of where it is placed on the vehicle*. The RVS-659 also has 700 TV lines and a 170° viewing angle.
This is a great day for automotive safety and a long time coming. This new regulation will save lives in addition to creating a concrete standard.
