WITSON L-055 · FRONT & REAR CAMERA CONTROL

One Button. Two Camera Views. Smarter Visibility.

Parking bumps, driveway curbs and front blind spots are common everyday driving challenges. The WITSON Dual Camera Switching Module adds intelligent front-and-rear camera control to compatible aftermarket Android head units and universal car stereos, helping the driver call up the camera view needed at the right moment.

Why Add a Front & Rear Camera Switching Module?

  • Adds front-camera switching to a compatible head unit with camera video input.

  • Rear-camera view appears automatically when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.

  • Front-camera view remains visible for 10 seconds after leaving reverse.

  • Front camera automatically appears for 8 seconds after ignition startup.

  • An external button allows manual front-camera activation and camera switching.

The Blind Spot in Front of the Car

Many factory and aftermarket multimedia systems automatically display the rear camera only while reversing. That helps behind the vehicle, but it does not show the area immediately in front of the bumper when approaching a curb, wall, ramp or tight parking position.

Adding a front camera helps solve this visibility problem. The WITSON L-055 control module manages the front and rear camera signals so drivers do not need to repeatedly enter menus just to change the camera view.
