Is a License Plate Mounted Backup Camera Available Without a Monitor?

Question:

Thanks for the information, but not truly what I was asking about. 1.I want to buy the Hopkins because it as the parking sensors 2.I then want to add a camera to this Hopkin bracket and hook it up to my existing RCA plugs to my monitor 1.That camera is the one that comes with the Item # HM50002. I just don’t want the monitor with that system, so can I buy just the camera? I already have a license plate backup system with parking sensors. The camera quit, so was looking at the Hopkins as a replacement to hook up to my existing connections. So, my other question was: 1.Does the Hopkins audible alert connection plug have a 2 pin connector that will connect to my existing connection, so I don’t have to re-run the wire for the alarm speaker?

There is a potential solution for you but the Hopkins # HM60100VA system you referenced does not include a camera; it is a back-up alert with sensors. Depending on your monitor you may be able to use the Rear View Safety License Plate Backup Camera RVS-6380-C, which does not come with a monitor but is designed for use with in-dash monitors using RCA inputs.

The camera on this system is adjustable, will provide you with infrared night vision and has a 170-degree viewing angle. I've added a link to a video review on this system for you to take a look at.

The camera from the Hopkins # HM50002 is not available separately though there are stand-alone cameras you may be able to use with the Hopkins # HM60100VA and I will link you to our selection of available cameras. It is highly likely to be a more economical option to get a complete system rather than piecing parts together, however. In regards to your second question, the # HM60100VA does not have a 2-pin connector for the alarm speaker. I have also sent you a link to the directions for this system that you can take a look at for more details.
