Speaker 1: Today, on our 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, we're gonna be installing Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera, part number HM50002.The main reason why you'd want this is to help you in backing up to your trailer. This way, you can see your hitch ball and the trailer, and receive audible warnings when you're getting too close. This way, you can line it up right every time the first time.And one of the other most useful features is that it'll detect objects behind you. So, when backing up, there'll be no surprises. Whereas other cameras just have a display, this one's got those sensors to provide an audible warning for things that may be outside of its field of view to let you know to check your surroundings.And, as you can see, the line geometry on your camera matches very closely to the lines on a parking space. So, you can use those to help guide you directly in the center of your parking spot.If you press the button on the side, it'll open up your menu, and you can switch the hitch line on, and use these for lining up with your hitch ball. more

Here's what the backup camera and sensors look like once they're installed. You can see we've got our backup camera right here in the center which is going to be good because it's in line with the hitch that's in the center so when backing up to a trailer, that's going to help make it easier to line it up. Then we've also got our sensors which are going to help give us the depth perception behind us, so it can alert us when we're getting too close to anything. Here's what the monitor is going to look like inside the truck. When we put it in reverse, it's going to come on and you'll be able to see one of the nicest features about this backup camera system, is that it gives you hitch alignment assistance. It gives you these bars to help give you a grid to align your hitch inside it. more

Today on our 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System, part number HM50002. Here's what it looks like once it's installed in the truck. As you can see we got the display here and then we've also got red, yellow and green zones within our image, so as we backup and get into each zone, you'll notice that each colored zone starts to flash as we're in that range. We are very close the the coupler on the trailer and the red zone is flashing. That audio tone that you hear just lets us know which zone we're in, the green, yellow or red and the constant tone means we're in that red zone and the dial here on the side will allow you to adjust that. If you go down, you can completely mute it, or you can go completely up you can change the volume of it. Now you also have some other options. There's an options menu, that if you press this dial in on the side, it will let you go in and you can switch those. more

That'll give us our normal, everyday kind of deal, which comes in really handy, especially with these big trucks in these tighter parking lots, parking spots, and things like that.
