About the Kenwood CMOS-230
From our tech experts at CEN
The Kenwood CMOS-230 is a compact, waterproof rear-view reversing camera designed for Kenwood DMX, DDX and DNX head units. Its 1/3.6-inch colour CMOS sensor delivers a wide-angle mirror image across a 128° horizontal field of view. The 9m combined DC and video cable connects via RCA to your head unit's camera input.
Who it suits
This camera suits drivers adding a reversing camera to a compatible Kenwood head unit who need a straightforward, reliable solution. The small 23.4 x 23.4mm body and flexible mount base fit most boot lid or bumper positions. For an HD picture, consider the Kenwood CMOS-740HD.
Our tech experts advise
Confirm your head unit has an NTSC RCA camera input before buying. The camera triggers automatically from the reverse line, so a clean connection to that wire is essential. Its operating range of -30°C to 70°C handles all UK conditions. Installation is priced per vehicle; see our Nottingham fitting service for details.
