Automotive Backup Camera/Rearview Camera

Automotive Backup Camera/Rearview Camera
 
What is the word(s) that is usually used in Mexico for an automotive backup camera/rearview camera, the cameras that are used in vehicles to help the driver see what is behind the car when reversing, thus improving safety and preventing accidents?

There are a multitude of words to choose from on the internet,

cámara de visión trasera?
cámara retrovisora?
cámara de reversa?
cámara de marcha atrás?
cámara de retroceso?
cámara trasera?


but I need the word(s) most commonly used in Mexico.

Any and all input is appreciated.

I will ask around if anyone would say "cámara retrovisora", but I think we would rrather say "cámara de (la) reversa" or "cámara trasera". :thinking:
"Marcha atrás" is not used in Mexico, and "retroceso" is rather used for computers or for situations, not for the movement of vehicles.
