The Alpine HCE-C2100RD is an HDR multi-view reversing camera with a 1/4" CMOS sensor (1280 x 960, approx. 1.2 MP) and 180° horizontal field of view. It connects directly to compatible Alpine ILX and Halo touchscreen head units, offering four selectable views for safer parking and manoeuvring.

Designed for Alpine touchscreen monitors. For use without a touchscreen display, the separate HDR Multi View Front Camera (HCE-C2600FD) is also required. Compatible head units include the Alpine ILX-F905D Halo 9 and the Alpine ILX-705D.

HCE-C2100RD: High Dynamic Range (HDR) multi-view rear camera

HDR technology delivers improved picture quality over standard camera systems, making manoeuvring safer and easier. The camera activates automatically when reversing and mutes audio so parking sensor signals can be heard clearly. A trailer hitch guideline can also be activated.

All-new Alpine HDR cameras

Alpine's HDR cameras include several technologies designed to make driving and parking safer.

• High-resolution sensor for detailed, clear imagery
• Strong low-light performance for night-time use
• Fast exposure adjustment when moving between dark and bright environments (e.g. tunnels, underground car parks)
• Compact new connectors for straightforward installation

Rear View [Back]

Displays what is directly behind the vehicle. Ideal for reversing into a parking space.

Panorama View [Panorama]

Displays a wider-than-normal view behind the vehicle, useful when greater situational awareness is needed.

Corner View [Corner]

Splits the screen to show both left and right behind the vehicle simultaneously, with a picture-in-picture showing the standard rear view.

Ground View [Top]

Top View aids precise reversing — particularly useful when hitching a trailer. Also includes a picture-in-picture showing the standard rear view.
