About this kit

This kit combines our latest built in digital wireless receiver 7" monitor with our latest camera that has an integrated aerial/transmitter built in.  The monitor comes with both a cigarette lighter plug and a hardwire kit, so you can choose which method to power the monitor from. On the camera there is a built in adjustable aerial and at the back of the camera a cable exits which splits to a positive and earth wire. The sunshade is removable.

60M Version vs 100M Version

We stock both a 60M version and a 100M version, we have found the 60M version to work on even the longest vehicles. The main advantage of choosing the 100M version would be the ability to add more than one wireless camera to the monitor, the 100M version of this monitor can pair with up to 4 cameras, whereas the 60M version can only take 1 camera. If you only plan to use the one camera then we suggest selecting the default 60M 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 wireless for customers who have trailers (like caravans, Artics and horsebox trailers), they are also useful when an application is very difficult to run a cable front to back (heavily fitted out vans etc).  We wouldn't recommend wireless for cars, the main reason being the time saved by not feeding a cable around 2-3M through the interior is usually negated by the time taken making an extra power link for the transmitter.  Also with modern cars running CANBUS to the lights, if you come across a sensitive supply you may need to run a relay which is more cost and time.  For cars we recommend our premium cabled kits where the monitor provides power to the camera and just one cable needs to be run front to back and you don't have to attach in to the reverse light supply unless you wanted to activate the trigger.
