7" Dash Monitor + Sony CCD (or optional Sony AHD) White Twin Lens Bracket Reversing & Rearview Camera Kit - PM63W
Description
About the 7 inch dash monitor and white twin lens bracket reversing camera kit
Upgrade Option - Sony CCD vs Sony AHD 1080P
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 Please take note of an important update for 2024. Our latest production of AHD option cameras includes a change – specifically, the driving rear-view camera in the recent batch is now being manufactured without IR LEDs, while the parking camera will continue to have IR LEDs. This modification is a response to customer feedback regarding the sensitivity of the Sony Starvis sensors used in the AHD cameras. Some customers found that the camera's enhanced brightness as the IR lit up nearby trees and bushes, made the image a bit bright when driving at night in a dark cabin. Following road tests, we concluded that eliminating IR LEDs from the rear-facing camera provides a better balance of functionality. When ordering the AHD upgrade kit, you may receive either the original type (with IR LEDs) or the new batch (without IR LEDs) on the rear-view camera. If you have a preference for a specific version, please leave us a customer note when placing your order. Disconnectable Connectors on Camera Entry for Smaller Cable Entry HolesWe took the step of adding 8mm disconnect points between the 4 pin connectors and the camera. This allows you to drill smaller cable entry holes instead of the 19mm you would need if using the pre-attached cable rubber Grommet (we still have these grommets inserted for those who prefer to use this method). Please note that the 8mm disconnect point is NOT waterproof and needs to be kept inside to avoid water ingress. It is approximately 30 cm back from the camera. If you cannot ensure the cable will enter the vehicle by this length, please leave us a customer note asking for the non-8mm version (which goes straight to 4 pin and is very waterproof). The customer note box is at the very last stage of checkout. Choice of kit power options
Additional monitor bracket/mount optionsWe can supply a discounted additional mount/bracket for the monitor when ordered at the same time as the kit. Please see the photo below, and make your selection using the drop down menu above the add to cart button. See our video below for details about the brackets in the photo above. Easy-Fit Wiring
Anti-Corrosion Stainless Steel Camera BracketThe 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. 2 Year GuaranteeWe 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 UKThe 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. Optional Guidelines displayed when reverse selectedIf you want to see the guidelines you can turn these on and off in the menu, the guidelines will only work on the reversing channel and when the trigger wire for this channel is active, they won't bother you when driving forward and wanting to view the camera on all the time. |
FAQ'S
Yes you can. This kit has two cameras built in to one bracket. The one camera looks back down the road as your driving camera (acts as a rear view mirror). The other camera points downwards to the ground, you will select this camera when you are reversing/parking.
Absolutely. This camera can be mounted both on a vertical surface eg rear wall/door, or on a horizontal surface eg roof/top of door.
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 a small van
- 10M is good for a medium length van (around 6M)
- 10M 8mm joint (same as above but with a small 8mm disconnect point on the front of the cable to allow cable to get through tight spots/bulkheads)
- 12.5M is good for most vehicles up to around 8.5M long (covers most motorhomes except the super long)
- 12.5M 8mm joint (same as above but with a small 8mm disconnect point on the front of the cable to allow cable to get through tight spots/bulkheads)
- 15M is good for vehicles up to around 10/11M eg rigid lorry, small coach.
- 15M 8mm joint (same as above but with a small 8mm disconnect point on the front of the cable to allow cable to get through tight spots/bulkheads)
- 20M is good for super long vehicles
Yes. Please select the option at the bottom of the cable length drop down menu. It will be labelled 2010+ Dometic/Waeco adaptors. Instead of a long cable, you will receive the twin channel Waeco/Dometic adaptor set. Kindly note that these adaptors will not work with the AHD upgrade option - due to the extra separated shielding requirements required for the two high-frequency 1080P AHD signals.
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.
There are 3 ways you can change channel between the two inputs.
- Press the CAM button on the monitor
- Press the Channel button on the remote control
- Attach the green trigger wire on the monitor cabling to either a reverse wire or switch (when this has power it will switch to channel 2).
