Brummstadt Recommendation: If considering a rear camera, the front camera completes the system
Once experienced, drivers never want to go without dual cameras
Understanding the Brummstadt Dual Camera System
The Brummstadt Front & Rear Camera Set transforms any compatible head unit into a comprehensive visual monitoring system. Think of it as giving your car eyes in both directions - something that becomes indispensable once experienced. Here's what makes this system special and why Brummstadt strongly recommends it for every installation.
Complete Visual Coverage with Wide-Angle Lenses
Both cameras feature wide-angle lenses that capture significantly more than standard cameras. The front camera eliminates the dreaded blind spot right in front of the bumper - perfect for tight parking situations where kerbs seem to appear from nowhere. The rear camera provides expansive coverage that makes reversing into tight spots or hooking up trailers remarkably easier. Parents particularly appreciate seeing small objects (or children's toys) that would normally be invisible from the driver's seat.
Crystal Clear 1080p Full HD Quality
Both cameras record in genuine 1080p Full HD resolution. This means number plates are readable, road signs are clear, and important details are captured for insurance purposes. The quality remains exceptional even when zooming in on recorded footage. Night vision technology uses advanced sensors to provide clear visibility in complete darkness - streetlights aren't necessary for a clear picture. The system automatically adjusts for headlights, tail lights, and street lighting to prevent glare and maintain clarity.
Dashcam Functionality Built Right In
Unlike traditional dashcams that require separate devices, memory cards, and regular maintenance, this system records directly to the head unit's internal storage. The recording happens automatically - there's nothing to remember to turn on. When storage fills up, the oldest footage is automatically overwritten, ensuring continuous protection. Important events are automatically protected from deletion when the system detects sudden movements or impacts. This integration means one less device on the windscreen and no extra cables running across the dashboard.
Live Viewing While Driving - A Game Changer
The ability to view cameras while driving (not just when reversing) opens up incredible possibilities. Towing becomes stress-free when monitoring the trailer constantly. Parents can check on rear-facing child seats without turning around. The split-screen mode shows both front and rear simultaneously - perfect for navigating tight spaces or busy car parks. Delivery drivers find this invaluable for navigating narrow streets and checking clearances. Off-road enthusiasts use it to spot obstacles that would otherwise require a spotter.
Weather-Resistant Professional Installation
These cameras are built to Australian standards - they handle everything from tropical rain to desert dust. The weatherproof rating means they continue working perfectly in heavy rain, actually helping visibility when mirrors become useless. Installation is straightforward with the included automotive-grade adhesive that won't damage paint but holds firmly for years. For those preferring permanent mounting, screw installation is possible (Brummstadt recommends plastic mounting points to avoid rust). The cameras are compact and discrete, maintaining the vehicle's clean appearance.
Perfect Cable Length for Every Vehicle
The standard cables are professionally calculated to reach perfectly in regular cars, utes, and standard SUVs. There's enough length for proper routing through door seals and panels without excess cable to manage. For larger vehicles - people movers, vans, buses, or vehicles with caravans - extension cables are available. Brummstadt recommends measuring if unsure, but generally: vehicles under 5.5 meters use standard cables, longer vehicles benefit from extensions. The cables are automotive-grade with proper shielding to prevent interference.
Why This Only Works Properly with Brummstadt Units: The Brummstadt head units have specific hardware and software designed for dual camera operation. The dedicated camera inputs, processing power for dual streams, and specialized software for recording and display switching are all precisely engineered to work together. While other Android units might have camera inputs, they often lack the processing power (minimum 4GB RAM/64GB storage required), proper software integration, or dedicated hardware channels that make this system work flawlessly. Brummstadt units are specifically programmed to handle simultaneous recording and display without affecting navigation or media playback performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Complete guide to the Brummstadt dual camera system
Unfortunately, the dual camera system requires a minimum of 4GB RAM and 64GB storage to function properly. The 2GB/32GB units lack the processing power to handle simultaneous video streams from both cameras. The system needs this extra power to record, display, and switch between cameras without affecting navigation or media playback. Consider upgrading to a 4GB/64GB or higher unit to enjoy this feature - it's worth the investment for the safety and convenience dual cameras provide.
While traditional dashcams work independently, the Brummstadt camera system integrates directly with your head unit, offering unique advantages. You get instant viewing on your large screen, no separate memory cards to manage, automatic recording to the unit's storage, and the ability to view cameras while driving - not just when reversing. The split-screen feature shows both views simultaneously, and everything is controlled from one interface. Traditional dashcams can't provide this level of integration and convenience.
The Brummstadt system is engineered to record efficiently without impacting performance. Recording happens in the background using dedicated processing channels, so navigation, music, and other apps run smoothly. The system uses intelligent compression to maximize storage efficiency, and loop recording automatically overwrites old footage when space is needed. Important events are protected from deletion when the G-sensor detects impacts. Most users find the storage management completely hands-off - it just works.
The cameras use infrared sensors that detect heat signatures and low light, not traditional LED lights that could drain power. They automatically adjust sensitivity based on ambient light, providing clear images even in complete darkness without street lights. Power consumption is minimal - less than a standard USB charger - and they only operate when the head unit is on. There's no additional battery drain when parked unless you've specifically enabled parking mode recording, which is optional.
Many customers successfully install these cameras themselves - it's similar to installing a reversing camera but doubled. The front camera typically mounts behind the license plate or grille, while the rear goes near the license plate or high on the rear window. Cables route through existing grommets or door seals. The included automotive adhesive is strong but removable if needed. That said, professional installation ensures optimal placement and clean cable routing. If you're comfortable running cables through your car, you can do it. If not, any car audio installer can handle it.
The Brummstadt cameras use high-quality shielded cables specifically designed to prevent interference. Unlike cheap cameras that can cause AM/FM radio static or affect other electronics, these cables have proper grounding and shielding. The cameras operate on dedicated channels that don't conflict with vehicle systems. Thousands of installations have shown no interference issues when properly installed. If you experience any interference, it's usually due to cables running too close to antenna wires - easily fixed by rerouting.
Your recordings are stored on the head unit's internal storage, so they'll need to be backed up before replacing the unit. You can easily transfer important footage via USB or upload to cloud storage through the unit's internet connection. The cameras themselves will work with any compatible Brummstadt unit, so you won't need new cameras if upgrading to a newer Brummstadt model. The system is designed for easy migration when you upgrade your vehicle or head unit.
Standard cables are precisely measured for typical sedans, hatchbacks, and standard SUVs (vehicles under 5.5 meters). While they might seem like they could stretch further, forcing them can cause connection issues or damage over time. Larger vehicles - vans, buses, extended SUVs, or anything towing a caravan - definitely need extensions. The extensions provide proper slack for movement (important for rear hatches) and ensure connections aren't under stress. It's better to have too much cable than too little.
Split-screen mode displays both camera feeds simultaneously on your head unit screen, typically with front view on one half and rear on the other. You can toggle this on or off instantly, resize the windows, or switch to single camera view. Many drivers find it less distracting than checking mirrors, especially when towing or parking. The display automatically brightens or dims based on ambient light. It's particularly useful in heavy traffic, tight spaces, or when monitoring a trailer. You control when it's active - it's not forced on you.
Wide-angle lenses capture 170-180 degrees of view compared to 120 degrees for standard lenses. This means you see everything from curb to curb, eliminating blind spots that cause most parking mishaps. The front camera shows that low wall or parking block you can't see over the hood. The rear camera displays playing children or pets that might run behind your vehicle. Wide-angle doesn't mean distorted - these use quality glass that maintains proper proportions while maximizing coverage. It's like having eyes where you need them most.
