RV owners are no strangers to tight backing maneuvers, limited visibility, and high-stress highway driving. But what if your backup camera did more than help you reverse? What if it also recorded what it sees — just like a dash cam — giving you a reliable video record of everything that happens around your vehicle? That’s exactly what the Furrion Vision S+ brings to the table. 

Combining high-resolution live views with smart recording capabilities, the Vision S+ is not just an RV backup camera — it’s a backup camera recorder designed for a new level of safety, confidence, and peace of mind.

What Is a Backup Camera Recorder? 

A backup camera recorder is exactly what it sounds like — a rear view camera that not only provides live video but also records footage onto an SD card for playback. This adds a valuable layer of functionality, especially for RVers who want to: 

  • Review close calls or road incidents 
  • Keep a record of parking lot bumps or vandalism 
  • Capture unexpected events while on the road 
  • Use the camera as a security system when parked 

Unlike typical rear view cameras that provide only live feed, a backup camera recorder like the Vision S+ helps ensure that what you saw can also be saved. 

Vision S+: A Smarter Rear View Camera with Recording Built In 

Do backup cameras record? The Furrion Vision S+ does! It goes beyond the basics by combining the essential features of a traditional RV observation system — like wide-angle lenses, high resolution video, and night vision — with a built-in ability to record everything the camera sees.

1. Automatic Footage Capture for Every Drive  

With Vision S+ recording continuously to an SD card, every reversal, lane change, or campsite maneuver is saved automatically. If you encounter an unexpected obstacle, no need to scramble for your phone — the rear view camera has already logged the moment in crisp 1080p high resolution. Having that uninterrupted timeline of footage can be invaluable if you need to review exactly what happened and when. 

2. Evidence for Insurance, Liability, & Disputes  

Accidents — even fender‑benders in parking lots — can turn into complicated claims. A backup camera recorder provides objective, time‑stamped video evidence to streamline insurance investigations or clear you of false liability. Instead of relying on third‑party statements, you can present footage showing your precise actions and surroundings. 

3. Enhanced Security When Parked  

Vision S+’s motion‑activated recording turns your night vision‑capable camera into a 24/7 security guard. Mounted as a doorway or rear camera, it wakes and records when movement is detected around your RV, keeping a silent watch over your campsite. Review recordings at any time to confirm whether wildlife disturbances or unauthorized visitors approached your rig. 

4. Post‑Trip Review & Peace of Mind  

After a long day on unfamiliar roads, it’s comforting to know you can revisit your journey. Whether you want to capture scenic pull‑outs or double‑check tight backing into a campsite spot, having a recorded log means you never miss a moment. The built‑in microphone also records ambient audio, giving you complete context for every video clip. 

High-Tech Meets High Safety 

One of the standout features of the Vision S+ is its quad-camera view. You can add up to four cameras — rear, sides, and even the door — and view them all at once on the touchscreen monitor. This level of visibility drastically reduces blind spots and makes it easier to change lanes, merge, or reverse into tight spaces. 

Want to record all those angles? Just insert an SD card and let the system store your footage automatically. This is incredibly useful for: 

  • Monitoring campsite activity 
  • Reviewing footage after a close call 
  • Checking on towed cargo 
  • Saving memorable moments from the road 

Each camera features a wide-angle lens (140° on rear and doorway, 65° on side cameras), providing complete coverage around your vehicle.

Clear Viewing, Even at Night 

Nighttime driving can be one of the most nerve-wracking parts of RV travel. Vision S+ is equipped with infrared night vision, allowing you to see and record your surroundings even in low light. Intelligent IR cut filters ensure your night footage isn’t washed out or blurry. 

When you pair night vision with the system’s LED marker lights and rear assist marker lines, you get a camera system that helps you park, reverse, and monitor your surroundings in the dark, with full recording capabilities.

Compact Design, Seamless Installation 

Not only is the Vision S+ packed with advanced features, but it’s also thoughtfully designed for real-world use. The monitor is compact and anti-glare, with an easy-to-read interface that toggles between views. You can mount it on your windshield for minimal obstruction or place it on the included table stand — whichever suits your space best. 

Installation is streamlined, too. Most RVs are already Vision S+ prepped, which means setup is fast and doesn’t require major modifications. The side marker cameras even replace your existing marker lights, so you’re not adding extra hardware to your rig. 

Wireless Signal That Stays Strong 

Signal lag can make even the best camera system unusable. That’s why Vision S+ uses proprietary 2.4 GHz wireless communication, offering a stable connection up to 100 feet at highway speeds and up to 492 feet in open areas. That makes it a reliable solution not just for RVs, but also trucks, trailers, shuttle buses, and tractors. 

Whether you’re towing a 5th wheel or navigating a crowded campground, you’ll have a constant, uninterrupted connection between camera and monitor.

Safety Beyond Driving 

Vision S+ doesn’t stop being useful once you park. You can wire the rear view camera to act as a doorway security system. With Bluetooth® connectivity and motion-activated recording, it becomes a full-time watchdog for your RV. Whether it’s curious wildlife or unexpected visitors, your system is always ready to record — even if you’re not looking at the monitor. 

The built-in microphone adds another dimension to your recordings, capturing important audio cues. This makes it easier to review what was happening when the video was captured — whether it’s the sound of an approaching vehicle or someone speaking outside your door. 

The Takeaway: Vision S+ Isn’t Just a Camera — It’s a Smart Recorder 

If you’re looking for a backup camera recorder that goes the extra mile, Vision S+ is the clear standout. It’s a security system, a driving assistant, and a record-keeper, all in one compact package. 

With its 1080p clarity, night vision capability, multi-camera compatibility, and long-range wireless signal, it’s a serious upgrade for any RV or towable setup. And because it records directly to an SD card, it adds a level of documentation and peace of mind you won’t get with traditional rear view cameras.
