About the wireless reversing camera kit with 5 inch dash monitor and numberplate frame camera

• This kit is supplied with a numberplate frame camera. This camera is fitted with lots of holes (see images). Simply place your standard UK or EU sized numberplate in to the frame, the old numberplate screws will fit through the holes in the frame, which will allow the numberplate/frame camera to be held using the original fixings.
• The camera is fitted with a very respected 1/3" Hi-Res modern CMOS image sensor to provide a good picture day and night.
• This kit uses digital wireless technology to give a long distance, static free picture.
• Ideal for use on caravans and trailers, where running cables could prove tricky.
• The monitor has three inputs. One is used by the receiver box, leaving 2 spare channel inputs to add further cameras.
• Just one power connection is required to the monitor wiring – this will power both monitor and receiver box.
• Just one power connection is required to the sender box – this will power both itself, and the camera.
• Extension cables may be added. This allows you to position either the sender box, or the receiver box in a more convenient location.

How to fit the number plate frame reverse camera to your vehicle

This camera is very easy to install.

1. Unscrew your existing number plate from your vehicle

2. Slide the number plate in to the new number plate frame camera

3. Fix the number plate + frame camera to the vehicle using the original screws

4. Make a small channel on the number plate light to allow the wire to enter the vehicle without getting crushed (or use the attached grommet).

See our video below to see the installation of the number plate reversing camera. For best viewing, ensure the playback quality is set to HD.

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 using wireless reversing camera kits for trailers and caravans. This makes fitting easier, as you don't have to install cables and a trailer link.

If you have a modern car, van, or motorhome, then we recommend using a cabled reversing camera kit instead. This is because these modern vehicles don't often have non-canbus ignition switched power supplies to tap off. On caravans/trailers it is not an issue to tap off things like side lights to power the sender/camera as the car doesn't run canbus checks on trailer lights.

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. 

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.

Picture below shows a different 7" monitor but the rear channel is the same on the 5" and the side bracket is removable.

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.
