Factory-Fit Backup Camera with Night Vision, Audio & Weatherproof Housing
Improve your visibility and vehicle safety with the Rostra 250-8162 backup camera, built for 2007–2016 Dodge/Mercedes Sprinter vans and 2017 Sprinter Classic models. This unit replaces your factory third brake light with a fully integrated backup camera system. It delivers crisp video, night vision, and audio monitoring—all in one OEM-style housing.
Whether you're backing into tight city spaces or managing delivery routes, this camera helps you stay aware and in control. Designed to preserve your van’s clean factory look, it blends in while offering a major safety upgrade.
🔧 Easy OEM-Style Fit for Sprinter Vans
The Rostra 250-8162 is designed to mount directly in place of the factory brake light. It requires no drilling or major modification. This camera provides a professional finish and integrates seamlessly into the vehicle body.
This makes it a great choice for commercial fleets, delivery drivers, tradespeople, and Sprinter van enthusiasts. You get the protection of a backup camera with the sleekness of an OEM install.
📷 High-Quality Video with Night Vision
The camera uses a CMOS image sensor with a 1/4-inch lens. It records in color during the day and switches to infrared night vision in the dark. With 170 degrees of peripheral visibility, you can see much more than a standard mirror offers.
You’ll appreciate how well this Unit performs in poor lighting, low visibility, and tight maneuvering situations. Whether you’re parking, reversing, or checking a blind spot, you’ll have a clear view of your surroundings.
🎧 Built-In Microphone for In-Cab Audio
The unit includes a microphone that sends real-time audio to your in-cab display. This helps when reversing with a spotter or hearing external sounds. Audio feedback can improve precision and make maneuvering safer in crowded or noisy environments.
💾 Long Extension Harness Included
A 30-foot extension harness is included to ensure easy installation. This allows you to route the camera feed from the rear to the dashboard, even in extended-wheelbase vans. No extra accessories are needed, saving you time and money during setup.
🔌 RCA and S-Video Output Compatibility
This backup camera supports both RCA and S-video outputs. It connects easily with factory head units or aftermarket touchscreens. Whether you’re installing it on a new multimedia system or existing display, setup is fast and flexible.
🛡️ Weather-Resistant Design for Harsh Conditions
The housing is IP68-rated, meaning it's fully sealed against dust and water intrusion. Whether it’s rain, snow, or dusty roads, this camera holds up under pressure. It's made for daily commercial use in unpredictable environments.
This makes it ideal for service vans, mobile businesses, and Sprinter camper conversions. You can rely on this camera all year long—no matter the weather or route.
