## Overview

The Hopkins Towing Solutions 50002 Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Sensor System revolutionizes trailer hitching with a 3.5-inch color LCD monitor and patented SmartZone ultrasonic sensors that detect obstacles up to 5.5 feet away.

## Description

Hopkins Manufacturing Corporation makes your towing experience simpler and more rewarding through innovation and value. Hopkins offers a variety of towing solutions including vehicle wiring kits, adapters, vehicle and trailer connectors, breakaway systems, and much more. Today, more than 40 percentage of retail category sales are generated from Hopkins innovations. Hopkins' Smart Hitch Backup Camera System eliminates the frustration of hitching up a trail by yourself, with a patent-pending hitch camera mode which easily aligns ball to trailer every time by placing an extra set of eyes where you need them, and SmartZone sensors which utilize ultra-sonic sensing to detect objects up to 5.5 feet away and provide an audible alert when an object is present. It has three detection zones which alert you to distance and direction of objects when hitching and towing a trailer. Great for everyday use, this system easily allows one person to hitch by themselves. Camera mounts behind the license plate and installation requires no splicing: simply plug in behind tow package connector. Includes a 3.5-inch crystal clear color monitor with static-free image. Some vehicles may have a hole available to pass the wire through where the license plate is mounted or you can drill 11/32” hole close to where the power cable is attached to the mounting bracket.

Review: After several holes in my bumper from hitting the trailer hitch, I decided I needed a backup camera. I tried a wireless backup camera. I liked the ease of installation. It didn't work. After a lot of frustration, I gave up. I decided not to try wireless again. I'm very pleased with the Hopkins Smart Hitch. It is powered by a backup light, so you have to run some wires. I had to drill a hole to get the wire into the passenger compartment. The wire that leads to the camera is sturdy with a connector that doesn't require a large hole to get through. It seems to be reasonably waterproof. I was careful to avoid places where the wire could be pinched by suspension components. I was able to mostly hide the wire once it was inside by tucking it under plastic or carpet, but it is visible in spots. The screen is a little small, about the size of a cell phone display. I can live with it. The display is sharp and updates rapidly in real time. It makes hitching a trailer a snap. The field of view is limited, so the camera is only useful when you get close to the trailer. It has sensors that beep a lot. They aren't really useful to me because I can see the hitch fine. They might be useful in low light. I don't need it for anything but hitching trailers. The small field of view limits its usefulness for anything else. I haven't used it a lot yet, so I don't know how it will hold up to harsh weather conditions. However, at this time I am very pleased with it and would recommend it highly to anyone who doesn't have a factory camera. And doesn't mind running the wires. Update: I gave the impression that the field of view was limited. That isn't true. If you adjust the camera properly, you can actually see the hitch and also see what is behind the vehicle. And the sensors will warn you if you are going to hit something. In its initial configuration, the camera was aimed very low. I continue to highly recommend it.
Review: Works perfectly and instals as advertised. Sealed the camera Box with silicone to avoid water inside as described by other buyers. Have a 1500 silverado crew cab and had about 4 feet of wire left over so really long enough. Edit March 2019. Had issues with backup lines witch stopped working. Display showed only hitch lines even if they were off in the menu. Still on waranty so contacted Hopkins and never got an answer. Instead I contacted desertcart and within 2 hours I got an answer and they shipped me a replacement unit immediately. Waiting for replacement to arrive to change the defective one. Thanks desertcart. Édit march 18 2019. Replaced the display and camera after receiving them. Problem was that the licence plate was pinching the sensor wire. This is obviously a vice in fabrication of the camera module since the wires of the backup sensors wires can touch the licence plate and be damaged by vibrations.

Ya había comprado un producto igual a este, la vdd lo recomiendo mucho por ser duradero, impermeable, y se ajusta a diferentes necesidades, incluye sensores para detectar obstáculos con un 90% de eficiencia pero si ayudan bastante, yo la instale en una grand cherokee (no es para este vehiculo) y funcionan excelente, 100% recomendado este producto
