The BOSS Audio Systems POLCAM is a universal off-road camera designed for use as either a front or rear-view camera. It is specifically compatible with Polaris® RZR models equipped with the Ride Command™ unit, offering a plug-and-play solution. The camera can also be connected to any other head unit that has a video input, thanks to the supplied connection cables.
Function Description:
The POLCAM camera provides a live video feed of the area in front of or behind your vehicle, enhancing visibility and aiding in maneuvering, especially in off-road conditions. When connected as a front camera, it automatically powers on and displays a live view upon starting the vehicle engine. When configured as a rear camera, it activates and displays a live view when the vehicle is put into reverse gear. The camera offers image setting adjustments, including the ability to reverse the image (useful for front-view applications) and to display guide lines on the screen. These settings are controlled by cutting or keeping specific wire loops on the camera cable.
