or is it just the camera you'd get from Thinkware and you setup manually?

it looks like it is meant for the Ford Transit vehicles.

Edit - looks like it has additional hookups to allow you to use your OBD to power the device so is compatible with all fords probably?

It is plug-and-play. The harness is a jumper off the OBD port - very easy install and works great. The front camera took about 20 minutes, and I’ll run the rear whenever the weather warms up in my state.

You can get those for any camera on Amazon, they run about $12.

It really isn’t a big deal to hardwire Thinkware cams to the fuse panel. I’m glad I did it. If you search around the forum, you’ll find discussions of that.
