Its compact housing and adjustable bracket give the installer an alternative to a long behind-license-plate bracket, making it useful when another suitable rear mounting surface offers a better camera position. It sends wired video to a compatible receiver or monitor for a live view while reversing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the non-LED TE-TSSC, not the separate TE-LEDTSSC model. The camera’s guidance overlay moves during reverse turns, but it does not detect obstacles or control the vehicle. It also does not include a monitor or provide standalone DVR recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact square camera:\u003c\/strong\u003e A small housing suits installations where a plate-length mounting bracket is not the preferred approach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface-mount bracket:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allows the camera to be positioned and angled on a suitable mounting surface; verify clearance and the area behind the fasteners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActive parking lines:\u003c\/strong\u003e The overlay moves while the vehicle turns in reverse and straightens when it is no longer turning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWired RCA connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supplies video to a compatible reverse-camera input using a physical cable connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater-resistant housing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intended for an exterior rear-camera location with appropriately protected wiring and connections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer \/ model\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eiBEAM \/ TE-TSSC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCamera type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWired rear-view \/ backup camera\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMounting style\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmall square camera with adjustable surface-mount bracket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGuidance overlay\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eActive parking lines during reverse turns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eIllumination\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard non-LED model; not TE-LEDTSSC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eVideo connection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYellow RCA; compatible display required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePower supply\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDC 9–12V, per manufacturer installation manual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCamera housing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater-resistant; protect cable connections\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRecording \/ display\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo onboard DVR or display included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eUPC\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e086429335817\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metra’s product pages, catalogs and linked manuals differ on viewing-angle, image-resolution, low-light and ingress-rating figures. Those conflicting numerical ratings are not presented here as guaranteed specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose This Product?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the TE-TSSC when the mounting location is the priority. A suitable surface near the rear of the vehicle may provide a less obstructed view than a recessed plate location, while the adjustable bracket lets an installer establish the required downward angle. It is particularly useful for custom rear-camera retrofits paired with an appropriate display, but the mounting surface, wiring path and video compatibility must be checked for the specific vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Compatibility Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst inspect both sides of the proposed mounting surface so fasteners will not contact wiring or other components. Test the view before securing the camera with the supplied mounting screws. The manufacturer specifies an approximately 30–40° downward angle for proper guidance operation. Follow the manual’s connections: red to appropriate +12V reverse power, black to ground and yellow RCA to the display’s reverse-camera input. Protect penetrations and connections, then test the camera and the display’s reverse switching before reassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA camera is an additional viewing aid, not a substitute for mirrors, direct observation or safe reversing. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with vehicle wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does TE-TSSC mount?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt uses a compact surface-mount bracket rather than the long behind-license-plate bracket found on TE-BPTC and TE-BPLTC. The manual describes checking the mounting location, testing the camera view and fastening it with the supplied screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this model have built-in LEDs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. TE-TSSC is the standard non-LED small square camera. TE-LEDTSSC is a separate illuminated model and is not the product in this listing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the parking lines connected to the steering wheel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe verified manufacturer description is that they move when the vehicle turns in reverse and straighten when the turn ends. Do not assume factory steering-angle integration or stationary steering-wheel tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat screen do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a display or receiver with a compatible wired RCA backup-camera input. A factory screen may need a separate integration interface. Confirm accepted camera format, power requirements and reverse-trigger behavior before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this connect wirelessly to a phone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo wireless phone connection is specified. This is a wired camera, with a video cable and separate power connections, not an app-based camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it save video or measure obstacle distance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot on its own. It is a live-view backup camera, not a DVR, parking sensor or distance-measuring device. The overlay is only a visual aid and does not replace checking the area around the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExplore More\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/backup-cameras\"\u003ebackup cameras\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/car-video-gps\"\u003ecar video equipment\u003c\/a\u003e to plan a compatible rear-view system.
