Description

PM35 - 7 inch mirror monitor and "cigar" shape number plate reversing camera kit

  • This reversing camera kit comes with a rear view mirror monitor display, fitted with a 7" LCD panel. This monitor secures itself to the existing interior mirror with strong, spring-loaded grips.
  • 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!  

See our video below for a comparison between the two technologies. For best results, press the full screen icon, and make sure that the playback resolution is 1080P HD.

Choice of kit power options

  • 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 tap.
  • 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. The most common size fuse found in modern vehicles is the mini blade (size = 10.9mm wide x 16.4mm tall), older vehicles are likely to have the standard blade (size = 19.1mm wide x 18.8mm tall). Download and read our Fuse Tap installation instructions PDF for more information.
  • Our fuse taps were designed by us, they have a 200cm lead that connects directly to the monitor socket with no soldering / crimping required. There is a black wire with an earth terminal attached - designed to fix to a chassis bolt/screw.  This earth wire/terminal can be separated away from the red wire to enable you to find the most convenient ground/earth (although often this is next to the fuse box).

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.

Yes you can, the monitor powers the camera, this means you can choose to watch the camera at any point, you can drive with it "always on".

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.

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 an average size car
  • 7.5M is good for large cars and shorter wheelbase 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
