It belongs to the Electronic control modules and controllers group, meaning it works with other components responsible for processing the video signal and displaying it on the screen.

The main design advantages include:

• factory fitment for the tailgate in specific Mercedes models,
• adaptation for operation in external conditions (installation in the rear part of the body),
• compatibility with the vehicle's original wiring and connectors,
• preservation of factory aesthetics – the camera is discreetly integrated into the body line.
