Product Overview

The Power Acoustik BUC-2 is a license-plate mount backup camera built for drivers who want a straightforward rear-view aid. It uses an advanced 1/4-inch 720p CMOS color camera with a 170-degree lens and 648 x 488 resolution to capture a wide field of view behind the vehicle.

Ideal Use Cases

This system suits owners of cars, trucks or SUVs looking for a simple, bolt-on installation that fits behind a standard licence plate. Buyers who need multiple camera angles, integrated recording or a display unit included should look at more comprehensive kits instead.

Key Specification

The IP65-rated waterproof construction protects the camera and its cable connections from rain and road spray. A 20-foot installation cable and adjustable mounting bracket are included, allowing the single RCA output to reach most front-mounted monitors or head units.

Questions about this item

How do I route the 20 ft cable from the license-plate camera to the head unit without pinching it?

Tuck the cable along existing wiring looms behind trim panels, use grommets when passing through metal, and leave slack at the hatch hinge so the 20 ft length is not stretched tight when the boot opens.

Will the IP65-rated housing or the RCA plug need periodic resealing?

The IP65 housing is sealed for life; inspect the RCA connector once a year for corrosion and apply dielectric grease if the pins look dull.

At what point does the .01 lux low-light limit make the image too grainy to trust the distance gauge?

In near-total darkness below .01 lux the CMOS sensor adds visible noise, so the color-coded gauge becomes unreliable before the camera stops producing video entirely.
