About the Alpine HCE-C2100RD
From our tech experts at CEN
The Alpine HCE-C2100RD is an HDR multi-view reversing camera with a 1/4" CMOS sensor producing approximately 1.2 megapixels and a 180° horizontal field of view. It connects directly to compatible Alpine ILX and Halo touchscreen head units, offering four selectable views: Rear, Panorama, Corner, and Ground. The camera activates automatically when reversing and includes a trailer hitch guideline feature.
Who it suits
This camera suits drivers who want more than a basic rear view — ideal for towing, tight parking, and greater situational awareness. For those who only need a standard single-view reversing camera, the Alpine HCE-C1100D is a simpler option.
Our tech experts advise
The included cable is 0.5m; a 10m extension is sold separately for longer runs. View selection requires a compatible Alpine touchscreen head unit. Without a touchscreen display, the Alpine HCE-C2600FD is also required. Installation is priced per vehicle — see our car audio installation page for details.

Frequently Asked Questions
