Mercedes Sprinter & VW Crafter Dual-Lens Brake Light Camera

Improve rear visibility with this vehicle-specific dual-lens high-level brake light camera for selected Mercedes Sprinter and Volkswagen Crafter models from 2006–2016.

The dual-camera design provides two independent rear views. One camera can be used as a dedicated reversing camera, while the second can provide a continuous rear-view image when connected to a suitable monitor, stereo or camera switching system.

Both cameras are integrated into the replacement high-level brake light housing, creating a discreet OEM-style installation while maintaining the original appearance of the rear of the vehicle.

Why Choose This Dual-Lens Camera?

Dual Rear Views

Two independent camera feeds allow one view for reversing and a second continuous rear-view image while driving.

Vehicle-Specific Fit

Designed around the original high-level brake light position on selected Mercedes Sprinter and VW Crafter models.

Elevated Camera Position

High-level mounting provides a useful view behind larger vans when parking, reversing or manoeuvring.

AHD & CVBS Support

Available with CVBS or AHD video formats for use with compatible aftermarket stereos, monitors and camera systems.

Infrared Night Vision

High-brightness infrared LED support helps provide rear visibility in low-light conditions, with a night vision distance of approximately 30ft.

IP68 Rated Housing

Designed for exterior vehicle installation with an IP68-rated, temperature-resistant camera housing.

Why Use a Dual-Lens Brake Light Camera?

A conventional reversing camera is normally positioned to provide the best view of the area immediately behind the vehicle when parking or manoeuvring.

This dual-lens system adds a second rear-facing camera that can provide a more conventional rear-view perspective. When connected to a suitable dual-input monitor or switching system, this can provide a continuous rear image while driving alongside a separate reversing view.

This makes the camera particularly useful for commercial vans, motorhomes, campervan conversions and vehicles with restricted rear visibility.

Please Note: Vehicle variations can exist within the listed production years. Compare the product photographs, dimensions and brake light housing with the original high-level brake light before ordering.

PLEASE NOTE: If connecting to standard Video inputs (RCA/PHONO), an additional 2x CVC-CB-09 converter cables will be required.

If connecting the cameras to an original Mercedes or Volkswagen factory display, an additional vehicle-specific camera interface may also be required.

Camera Connections

The dual-lens camera provides two independent video feeds using 4-pin aviation camera connections.

The supplied cable arrangement includes:

  • Dual-lens high-level brake light camera assembly
  • 10-metre 7-pin extension cable
  • 4-pin to 7-pin camera splitter

PLEASE NOTE: If connecting both feeds to standard RCA/phono Video inputs, an additional 2x CVC-CB-09 converter cables will be required.

Using the Two Camera Views

Continuous Rear-View Camera

One camera feed can provide a continuous rear-view image when connected to a suitable monitor that remains active while the vehicle is being driven.

Reversing Camera

The second camera can provide a more downward-facing view of the area immediately behind the vehicle for parking and low-speed manoeuvring.

How the two camera feeds are displayed will depend on the monitor, aftermarket stereo or switching equipment being used.

Video Format Compatibility

The camera specification supports CVBS / AHD and NTSC / PAL configurations.

The stereo or monitor must support the same video format used by the cameras. An AHD output requires an AHD-compatible display.

CVBS is a conventional analogue video format supported by many aftermarket stereos and reversing camera monitors.

Factory & Aftermarket Display Compatibility

Depending on the installation, the two camera feeds can be used with suitable:

  • Dual-input commercial vehicle monitors
  • Aftermarket stereos with suitable camera inputs
  • Rear-view mirror monitors
  • Camera switching systems
  • Compatible factory displays using an additional interface

If fitting to the original Mercedes or Volkswagen factory display, an additional vehicle-specific camera interface may be required.

If using standard RCA/phono Video inputs, an additional 2x CVC-CB-09 converter cables will be required for the two camera feeds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dual-lens brake light camera?

A dual-lens brake light camera contains two independent cameras within the same high-level brake light housing. One can be used for reversing while the second can provide a continuous rear-view image.

Which vehicles is this camera designed for?

This camera is designed for selected Mercedes Sprinter and Volkswagen Crafter applications within the 2006–2016 model period.

Always compare the existing high-level brake light housing with the product photographs and dimensions before ordering.

Can one camera provide a continuous rear view?

Yes. One camera feed can provide a continuous rear-view image when connected to a suitable monitor that can remain active while driving.

Do the two cameras work independently?

Yes. The two lenses provide separate video feeds, allowing them to perform different rear-view functions when connected to suitable equipment.

Can both cameras connect to an aftermarket stereo?

This depends on the stereo. Many aftermarket head units only have one reversing camera input, so a dual-input monitor, camera switcher or compatible interface may be required to use both camera feeds.

If connecting to standard RCA/phono Video inputs, an additional 2x CVC-CB-09 converter cables will be required.

Can the cameras connect to the original factory screen?

On compatible Mercedes or Volkswagen systems, connection to the original factory display may be possible using an additional vehicle-specific camera interface. The correct interface depends on the original infotainment system fitted.

What is the difference between AHD and CVBS?

AHD supports a higher-resolution image when used with a compatible AHD display. CVBS is a conventional analogue camera format supported by many aftermarket stereos and reversing camera monitors.

Does the camera support night-time use?

Yes. The specification includes a high-brightness infrared LED, 0 lux operation with the LED active and an approximate night vision distance of 30ft.
