Sony CCD White Bracket Wireless Reverse / Rear View Camera with 7" monitor | DW61W

About the wireless reversing camera kit with 7 inch dash monitor and white bracket camera

• The white painted stainless steel bracket camera in this kit can either be angled down to use as a wireless reversing camera, or angled to view down the road as a wireless rear view camera.
• The camera is fitted with a very respected 1/3" Hi-Res Sony CCD image sensor to provide a good picture day and night.
• This kit uses digital wireless technology to give a long distance, static free picture.
• Ideal for use on caravans and trailers, where running cables could prove tricky.
• The monitor has two inputs.  One is used by the receiver box, leaving a spare channel input to add a second camera.
• Just one power connection is required to the monitor wiring – this will power both monitor and receiver box.
• Just one power connection is required to the sender box – this will power both itself, and the camera.
• Extension cables may be added.  This allows you to position either the sender box, or the receiver box in a more convenient location.

Lens Angle 60° vs 120°

For people wishing to use the camera to only look back down the road as a rear view camera we would recommend a 60 degree lens option (selectable on the drop down menu), for people wanting a general camera to use for either parking or to see cars/motorbikes tucked in close whilst driving then we would recommend the 120 degree option.

Digital Wireless Vs Older Analogue Wireless

This wireless reversing camera kit uses digital wireless technology, which is significantly better than the older analogue wireless (which is somehow still about today).  Below is some information about the differences: 

• Wireless reversing camera systems are still carrying a bad reputation, due to the original analogue technology.  This older technology was so bad that we only stocked links that we marketed to cross the gap from the gas locker of a caravan, to a car boot.  
• The older analogue models were restricted in the UK and European market to just 10mW of power due to the "dirty" signals they produced.  This would have interrupted other networks had they allowed a stronger signal.  The new digital wireless technology uses 10 times this, transmitting at 100mW.
• The older analogue wireless used to provide plenty of static interference to the picture, and we would hear many stories of people driving along, only to suddenly see the view from someone's CCTV camera, and even the odd horse - whilst passing a horse box trailer.  The new digital wireless technology never has any static, or picture from elsewhere.  The transmitter and receiver pair together and use encryption, to ensure that the receiver ignores any other interference that is present.

Who Should use Wireless?

We recommend using wireless reversing camera kits for trailers and caravans. This makes fitting easier, as you don't have to install cables and a trailer link.

If you have a modern car, van, or motorhome, then we recommend using a cabled reversing camera kit instead. This is because these modern vehicles don't often have non-canbus ignition switched power supplies to tap off. On caravans/trailers it is not an issue to tap off things like side lights to power the sender/camera as the car doesn't run canbus checks on trailer lights.

Image Sensor for Camera

An image sensor is the part of the camera that detects and captures information to make an image, there are various sizes of sensor usually between 1/4" and 1/3" with the larger sensors able to capture more detail.  In the old days, you used to have to pick CCD for quality as CMOS wasn't as good, this has changed recently with some advancements in CMOS technology (there are varying quality levels of CMOS to confuse matters).  In this particular kit, we are using the Sony 1/3" CCD 700TVL image sensor inside the camera.  We consider this the joint best image sensor in terms of picture quality you can get on a reversing camera.

Anti-Corrosion Stainless Steel Camera Bracket

The camera has a stainless steel bracket, which is shown to last a very long time without corrosion unlike mild steel we have seen from most other retailers, which tends to rust in a matter of a few months.

Optional - Quick Release Bracket

We have an optional quick release bracket available for this monitor, you may select it in the options above.  This will lock in to the back of the monitor using it's mounting channel.  The piece will slide down and click on to the quick release bracket which stays on the dashboard.  When you wish to remove the monitor (for theft prevention) you can disconnect the monitor cable around a foot back from the monitor, then simply pull the trigger on the bracket which unlocks the monitor and slide upwards.  You can then remove the monitor from the vehicle or hide it.

2 Year Guarantee

We supply with a 2 year Guarantee with us, meaning we will repair or replace any non-user damaged parts that are deemed faulty.  Our failure rate is very low even beyond these two years, if you have a problem outside of 2 years we should still have compatible parts and possible repairs for reasonable amounts.

Parts Tested in the UK

The parts of this kit will have been tested twice, once by the factory and once by us.  We check all the items in the kit including all wiring, digital links, trigger wires, IR leds and menu functions to reduce any chance of having a non working part.  Our fault rate is extremely low, and we just like to ensure that we avoid any imperfection slipping past.  This is why professional fitters love us.
