About the 7 inch dash monitor and black dome reversing camera kit

• This reversing camera kit comes with a heavy duty surface mounted monitor display, fitted with a 7" 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 black dome reversing camera, fitted with one of two top specification image sensors - either Sony CCD or Sony 1080P AHD (see more about the upgrade option further down).
• Fitted with a 120 degree wide angle lens.
• Designed to be mounted on the rear wall of a vehicle - ideally high up.
• Can be adjusted to look downwards, or backwards.
• Popular for motorhomes and vans.
• 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 - Sony CCD vs Sony 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
• Both cameras use an improved Sony 1080P AHD image sensor
• 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!

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).

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

7.5M is suitable for large cars and 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
