PM97W: Premium Reversing Camera Kit - 9" Dash Screen + Top Spec Sony CCD White Roof Camera

Easy-Fit Wiring

This is one of our latest models, where the monitor powers up the camera down an all in one cable.  This makes the system easy to fit and avoids canbus issues that may arise on normal systems due to taking power supplies for the camera from the reversing light.

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.

Monitor has Digital LCD Panel - Not Standard LCD

The monitor uses a Hi-Res digital panel screen with more than 3 times the amount of pixels of the standard analogue LCD screens most other retailers sell.   (Please note some sellers multiply the first number by 3 for RGB, if we were to do that it sounds even more impressive (2400x480).  We prefer to keep it simple but check carefully our competitors, the last number is normally better to go by as this is the number of vertical lines of pixels. 

System Suitability

Our systems work on either 12V or 24V, no switches it will adjust to the voltage automatically, this also protects the kit from any surges from the vehicle upto 32V, which is why we have such a good reliability record from these voltage protected kits.

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 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 normal sized car

7.5M is for a larger car and some small 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
