About the 9 inch dash monitor and "cigar" shape number plate reversing camera kit
This reversing camera kit comes with a heavy duty surface mounted monitor display, fitted with a 9" LCD panel. This monitor comes with a "U shape" dashboard mounting bracket that fits to the side mounting points. It also has a rear channel to fit our other mounting brackets.
Comes with a numberplate reversing camera, fitted with one of two top specification image sensors - either the 600TVL PC1058 premium CMOS, or the upgrade option fitted with the GalaxyCore 1080P AHD (see more about the upgrade option further down).
Fitted with a very wide angle (150 degrees) lens - ideal for parking.
Premium Aspheric Lens - means that despite the extra wide angle, it minimises the "fish bowl" effect you see on cheaper cameras.
Traditionally this style of camera has caused us and others a nightmare in terms of waterproofing (or lack of). The factory who produces this has done an amazing job and we have yet to have one leak after selling hundreds. The price of these to us are double what we would pay for most cameras, but they are the only factory that we trust with this style design.
Waterproof rating of this camera is IP69K - the highest possible.
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.
Upgrade Option - 600TVL vs GalaxyCore 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
Camera is fitted with the amazing Galaxy Core GC2053 1080P AHD chipset
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!
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 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. We have standard blade, mini blade, or micro blade available to match your fuse box. Read our Fuse Tap installation instructions PDF for more information.
Add an additional monitor bracket/mount
We 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
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.
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.
What cable length should I select?
Rough guide:
5M is good for a car
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.
