Description

Single Black Bracket Reversing or Rear View Camera Kit with Mirror Monitor Display

  • This reversing camera kit comes with a rear view mirror monitor display, fitted with a 7" LCD panel. This monitor secures itself to the existing interior mirror with strong, spring-loaded grips.
  • Comes with a black bracket reversing camera, fitted with one of two top specification image sensors - either Sony CCD or Sony 1080P AHD (see more about the upgrade option further down).
  • The camera is fitted with a stainless steel bracket, which has proven itself to protect against rust.
  • Choice of lens angle : 120 degrees for general use and parking, or 60 degrees if you plan to only use for rear view/driving (looking back down the road).
  • Easy to install, with a range of power options. Just one power connection powers the system.
  • 2 Year Guarantee and Lifetime Support from the leading UK specialists.

See below for information about the option choices above in the drop-down menus


Upgrade Option - Sony CCD vs Sony AHD 1080P

  • Recent option, introduced in early 2022
  • AHD stands for Analogue High Definition - allows long analogue coax cables to be used to transmit high definition digital signal
  • Increases monitor display resolution by 60% with an IPS panel upgrade
  • The camera will use an improved Sony 1080P AHD image sensor
  • You will experience improved dynamic range, more vivid colours, and superior low light level performance
  • Please note that AHD systems take a little longer to change channels/load up (approx. 2 seconds) vs standard CVBS systems.

Rest assured that whichever option you select, you will have a lovely, good quality image!

See our AHD (Analogue High Definition) FAQ page for more info


Cable Length Options

We stock a large range of cable lengths to suit any vehicle, whether you have a car, van, motorhome, tractor, coach, bus, or HGV. We also stock adaptors for the Dometic/Waeco 6 pin screw locking cable commonly found pre-fitted on Burstner and Baileys motorhomes. We can also provide a slimline 8mm disconnect point to our 10M/12.5M/15M cable lengths to help you run the cable through tight gaps without having to drill a large hole for the main connector.

Power Options

  • On the monitor wiring harness is a 2.1mm DC socket. On the drop down menu of this product, you can select your desired power lead to plug in to this.
  • The standard hardwiring is supplied with all options, this terminates in a red wire (+12V/+24V), and black wire (earth).
  • For the ultimate quick install is a lighter plug option. Some people also order this just for the initial setup, before changing to the standard hardwiring/fuse tap.
  • Fuse taps aka piggyback fuse holders, are the most recent addition to our options. This allows you to "piggyback" off an existing circuit from your fuse box. The most common size fuse found in modern vehicles is the mini blade (size = 10.9mm wide x 16.4mm tall), older vehicles are likely to have the standard blade (size = 19.1mm wide x 18.8mm tall). Download and read our Fuse Tap installation instructions PDF for more information.
  • Our fuse taps were designed by us, they have a 200cm lead that connects directly to the monitor socket with no soldering / crimping required. There is a black wire with an earth terminal attached - designed to fix to a chassis bolt/screw.  This earth wire/terminal can be separated away from the red wire to enable you to find the most convenient ground/earth (although often this is next to the fuse box).

Mirror Mounting Options

For many years, we have supplied the universal clip-over existing interior mirror rear view monitor. More recently we also began to offer the monitor with a variety of attach direct to windscreen stalk brackets. We have windscreen brackets to fit the most popular van and motorhome models, as well as one where you can glue a mounting plate to the windscreen for a universal bracket to fit. See our guide below for more information about the different bracket options.

We have researched and produced detailed fitting instructions for fixing the windscreen rear view mirror mounting plate up with Loctite 319 - read these carefully as they help avoid any issues.

Easy-Fit Wiring

  • We have been using this type of cabling since 2007, and it has performed perfectly in all of this time. It is called the 4 pin aviation cable, and uses what is known as a 4 pin GX12 connector.
  • This type of connector is very durable, and can be kept outside exposed to rain and freezing temperatures.
  • It makes fitting easier, and avoids CANBUS issues due to the monitor powering the camera.
  • It keeps contacts clean and dry, plus prevents them from accidental separation.
  • It has become the industry standard connector, which means you aren't forced to buy future cameras/cables/upgrades from one retailer - as parts are interchangeable between numerous suppliers (although we are confident you will be impressed enough with us that you will choose us for any future upgrades/spare parts).
  • All of our aviation extension cables are high quality, with the inner cores consisting of pure copper. We do not use the cheaper CCA (Copper Coated Aluminium) or CCS (Copper Coated Steel) cables, because they are more prone to failure/degradation over time.

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.

2 Year Guarantee - product guarantee should you experience any issue within 24 months

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 cables, 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.  

All products tested before dispatch in the UK
FAQ'S

Yes you can, the monitor powers the camera, this means you can choose to watch the camera at any point, you can drive with it "always on".

The standard high resolution camera/monitor is a very nice picture, it gives you everything you need for visibility.  The only reason to upgrade to AHD is if you want to see even more detail such as the detail of gravel on the floor, or want the colours of cars etc to "pop" on the screen and be even more vivid.  In terms of safety, both are on par with each other.

Our easy wire fuse tap options are new for 2023.  We designed a fuse tap that plugs in to a socket that is present on all of our monitor wiring harnesses.  The other side has a "piggyback" fuse holder aka fuse tap.  You identify a fuse in the fuse box that comes on/off with the ignition (see piggyback fuse holder / fuse tap instructions here - PDF download).  The original fuse is placed in to the new fuse tap, plus there is a new fuse already present for the reverse camera kit.  On the same wiring there is an earth terminal connector, simply attach this to a chassis bolt (usually near the fuse box, or add your own).

Rough guide:

  • 5M is good for an average size car
  • 7.5M is good for large cars and shorter wheelbase vans
  • 10M is good for a medium length van (around 6M)
  • 12.5M is good for most vehicles up to around 8.5M long (covers most motorhomes except the super long)
  • 15M is good for vehicles up to around 10/11M eg rigid lorry, small coach.
  • 20M is good for super long vehicles
