About the wireless reversing camera kit with 5 inch dash monitor and black dome camera

• The black dome camera in this kit can either be angled down to use as a wireless reversing camera, or angled to view down the road as a wireless rear view camera.
• The camera is fitted with a very respected 1/3" Hi-Res Sony CCD 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

Digital Wireless - Interference Free

Wireless cameras used to have a bad reputation and this stems from the old analogue wireless, full of static and restricted in Europe to just 10mW transmitting power.  These premium wireless cameras use a completely different way of transmitting and receiving data that stops the old problems from happening.  They pair up and digitally talk to each other almost like a Wi-fi connection.  The range is much, much greater and can be used on the longest of vehicles.  Being digital you don't get the interference you see on analogue wireless, you also don't pick up random signals from house CCTV and horseboxes as you drive around.

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.

Modular System

These kits are made up as a modular system which means they are very flexible.  The camera can be replaced at any time for a different model if desired with the digital wireless links not needing to be replaced.  If you wish to add a second camera you can.  The second camera can be wireless or cabled.  We get lots of people who buy the wireless kit for the caravan and add a 4 pin cable and 4 pin camera to the order to allow them to use the system as a normal car reversing camera when they aren't towing.  Another advantage of the system is that if after the 2 year warranty you have a problem with lets say the camera, you can purchase a replacement camera at a low price vs the cameras with built in wifi links which can be much dearer.  The receiver simply screws to the monitors wiring and the monitor provides power to it and the transmitter simply screws to the camera and when you provide power to the transmitter this powers itself and the camera.

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. 

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.
