Automatic Activation
The SwitchBack SOLO works in conjunction with your factory camera and monitor to ensure you can reverse safely and stay aware of your surroundings. Its standout feature is the automatic switching capability. The camera activates based on your tailgate position, seamlessly switching to the "down tailgate" camera when your tailgate is lowered. This clever feature guarantees you always have the correct view, with no buttons to press or programming required. Say goodbye to views of just the ground or your upside-down license plate.
Easy Installation
The installation process is similar for all trucks and should only take about 10-15 minutes to complete. If any items on your tailgate, such as the remote tailgate lock, do not work before you install the SwitchBack SOLO camera, they will not work after the install. Be sure to check all tailgate functions before you start the installation.
For permanent installation, you will want to install the camera in the top cap of your tailgate. After removing the access panel and drilling a hole with the included drill bit, you can easily feed the camera wire through the base of your tailgate. The SOLO block and harness are then installed inside the tailgate by folding the attached mounting plate around the centermost rib, with the wires running through to emerge behind the bumper. Once you have all of the wires routed beneath the truck, you will disconnect your tailgate wiring from the truck and connect the included in-line harness between them. After everything is connected and tested, use the included wire ties to keep things neat and tucked under your truck.
If a less permanent option is what you need, the license plate tag frame easily installs using the hardware that is already holding the license plate on your truck. The SOLO block gets installed the same way in both options. The waterproof camera on the frame has a power and video wire that run behind the bumper and will connect to the inline harness. The entire frame can also be turned upside down for a wider field of vision. The attached camera can rotate 45 degrees by loosening the screw with the included wrench. After everything is connected and tested, use the included wire ties to keep things neat and tucked under your truck.

Video Transcript for Review of BringIt Tailgates Backup Camera - SwitchBack Solo Tailgate Camera - BR25ZR
Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this, bring it switchback solo tailgate camera. Now, this camera system has been specifically designed to fit your 2011 to 2016 Ford F250, F350, and F450 super duties and on custom fit parts such as this camera system. I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you.
Also, I wanna mention that this is not going to be compatible with the 360 ultimate trailer tow camera system or with digital cameras. Now this camera system is going to let you clearly see what's going on behind you as you drive in reverse in your pickup truck with the tailgate down. Now, backup cameras have become an indispensable feature on our vehicles. We use them all the time. However, in most pickup trucks, when you have your tailgate down and you're backing up, all you see is what's going on below you and not what's going on behind you.
So this system is going to tie into your factory backup camera and automatically switches the views when you put your tailgate down. Now this is going to be a relatively easy installation. It will require the temporary removal of your tailgate access panel to mount this solo block and harness. This solo block is houses the sensor that detects the orientation of your tailgate, whether it's in the upright position or whether it's down. When you put your tailgate down, this sensor is going to detect that and activate the secondary camera system.
The secondary cameras in this system. And then this included inline harness, will connect directly to your factory harness, your factory camera harness. So what's nice about this is there's not going to be a need for an additional monitor. Now you, with this system, you can pick the view that's going to work best for you. You can use the license plate frame camera, or you can hook up the top mount camera in the system.
Both of these cameras are included with this kit. So the license plate frame camera is gonna let you hook up your trailer with the tailgate down. Or for the best view, you can install the top mount camera in the top of your tailgate to safely back up when you carry long loads. So if you don't want to drill into your tailgate, the license plate frame camera is going to be the best option for you. And as you can see, this has LED lights here and the angle of the camera is adjustable. However, for the best view you're gonna wanna use the top mount camera. This does require drilling into your tailgate, the top of your tailgate. However, this does include the drill bit necessary to install this. So the installation of this is going to be pretty simple with the tools that are included in this kit. Now, instructions are included along with color photographs to guide you through step-by-step through the installation process. This system is made here in the USA. So if you're looking for a solution that's going to let you see what's going on behind you as you drive your pickup truck in reverse with the tailgate down, this is really going to be a great option for you to consider. Well, that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
