Lens Lizard: The Ultimate Solution for a Clean Backup Camera
A Vermont-based startup has introduced a game-changing upgrade kit that will revolutionize how you maintain your car’s backup camera. The Lens Lizard system, available through their website, offers a remotely triggered backup camera cleaner that will save you time and hassle when dealing with obstructions like ice, snow, or dirt.
While some may view the Lens Lizard as a luxury, for those who face challenging weather conditions or frequently drive on dirt roads, this upgrade is a game-changer. No more having to stop and clean your backup camera manually – the Lens Lizard takes care of it for you.
The creators of Lens Lizard have launched a Kickstarter campaign, allowing backers to preorder the kit at a discounted price of $99. Once the campaign ends, the retail price is expected to be around $149, with shipping starting in April 2026.
Since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) mandated backup cameras in new vehicles in 2018, cleaning systems have not been a standard feature and can be costly to add on. While some car manufacturers like Subaru, Toyota, and VW offer cleaning systems as part of higher trim packages, the Lens Lizard is a more affordable aftermarket solution that is compatible with most North American vehicles, as long as the backup camera is positioned above the rear license plate.
The unique design of the Lens Lizard makes installation a breeze. The self-contained module is easily installed behind the license plate using existing screw holes and minimal tools. The system includes a refillable reservoir for wiper fluid that is sprayed onto the backup camera using a high-pressure pump that is adjustable to suit your needs.
The reservoir and rechargeable battery powering the pump are designed to last between four to six months, depending on usage. To make things even easier, the Lens Lizard does not need to be connected to your vehicle’s electrical system. Instead, you can remotely activate it with the included wireless Bluetooth remote, even while driving.
Say goodbye to dirty backup cameras and hello to a clearer view with the Lens Lizard. Upgrade your driving experience today and make cleaning your backup camera a thing of the past.
