Car monitors, reversing cameras and parking sensors in Canada

Updated 5 November 2026

In Canada a basic reversing camera costs about CA$25 to CA$60, a parking sensor kit about CA$32 to CA$119, and a camera with a 7 to 10 inch monitor about CA$155 to CA$425. These are approximate prices, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. For a price that fits your exact car, create a request on BlaBlaPrice and sellers will answer with their own offers.

What Canadian rules say about reversing cameras

Transport Canada requires a back-up camera on new vehicles sold in Canada that weigh 4,536 kg or less, and this has applied since May 2018. Most recent cars therefore already have a factory camera. An aftermarket camera matters most for older cars, trailers and work vehicles. Before you buy, check whether the car's dash screen can show a camera input, so you do not pay for a second monitor you do not need.

Winter, slush and road salt

November is the start of the cold season. From December to February the climate here is winter, with snow and slush on the roads, and rear lenses and sensor pads get dirty fastest in those months. Look for a sealed housing: several kits in the price list are listed as IP68 or IP69K waterproof. Plan the installation before the first heavy snowfall in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary or Vancouver, so the wiring is finished before the cold sets in.

Inches, centimetres and how kits are priced

Monitor sizes are quoted in inches, such as 7-inch, 9-inch or 10.1-inch, while camera size, cable length and mounting height are in centimetres and metres. Write both when you ask a seller. Dual-camera systems with a 7-inch monitor are listed from about CA$212, and the top dual-camera kit is about CA$424. Prices are per kit, so ask whether the quote includes fitting.

What to write in your request

Give the car model and year, whether you need a camera, parking sensors or both, the screen size you want, and whether the car already has a monitor. Say which city you are in, so sellers can quote delivery or fitting for Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary or Ottawa. Add a budget. A photo of the dash or of the rear bumper helps a seller check whether the kit fits.
