HD car camera

HD car camera

HD car camera from Patrick Higgins and Associates is a compact vehicle camera intended for rear/backup or auxiliary in-car video use, offering 720P resolution, low-light video processing, and a rugged plastic shell.

This unit runs on a 12V power supply (working voltage DC 12V; internal chip voltage 3.3V) and is specified as 100% waterproof by the seller. It delivers AV video output (1.0 Vp-p, 75Ω) and a lightweight design at 196 g. Note: some technical items in the original specifications are inconsistent — for example, the listed horizontal diagonal is 170° but an "actual viewing angle" of 120° is also given; the photosensitive chip is listed as "3003" yet the note also recommends an H65 or better chip. Please review the detailed specs below and contact customer service for confirmation on chip, video system (NTSC/PAL), and mounting options.
