Volkswagen Crafter 2017 - Present
This reversing camera system has the following advantages :
Great Image Quality - We don't settle for the base spec when it comes to this brake light camera. We have the 4089 700tvl image sensor fitted, which is paired with a top quality all-glass composite lens. The image sensor is one of the most important components for ensuring a colourful, sharp, and high dynamic image. We select all glass lenses instead of cheaper glass-plastic composites, because over time plastic containing lenses would fade from UV damage. No such issue with our all-glass lenses.
IP68 Waterproof Protection - This reversing camera is rated to IP68 water/dust ingress protection. This will keep the camera protected in even the worst wet and stormy weather the Great British weather can throw at it, or indeed on your trips across the continent.
130°(H) / 160°(D) Ultra Wide Angle - Due to the external lens fitted to this camera, you are able to have a greater field of view, which is very helpful when reversing. External lenses can achieve wider field of view compared to those mounted behind a glass cover.
2 Year Guarantee - We believe that our brake light reversing cameras come from the best factory, the factory is so sure of their own product that they fully support our highly respected two year guarantee. We find the fault rate very low from them, but should anything happen in your first two years of ownership, we will provide a replacement.
IR Night Vision - This camera is fitted with IR LED's that activate when it becomes dark. IR light is beyond the visible spectrum of the human eye, so you won't be blinding anyone behind you with light. The camera will see it, and use it to see obstacles behind your van when it is dark. Another bonus about our external lens is not having the IR LED's behind a glass lens cover. This means you get a really good contrast at night time, with none of the haziness sometimes seen with glass lens cover versions.
Maintains a Tidy Factory Look - This brake light reverse camera was designed to fit to the OEM brake light used to be. If you didn't tell anyone, most people would assume it was a factory addition.
Compact Size Reversing Camera Display- This monitor is usually selected by 4x4, motorhome and van owners in vehicles where dashboard space may be too tight to fit the more commonly fitted 7 inch sized displays.
Fitting Accessories and Instructions Provided - This camera is supplied with the bracket, gasket, hole saw, instructions and parts required to add the camera to the top of your existing brake light.
Increases Safety Whilst Reversing - Most importantly, this camera will improve visibility to the rear of your vehicle, which helps improve safety to your property and other road users. With around 25% of all collisions occurring in the UK when in reverse, this camera will help reduce the risk.
Alternative bracket options - The monitor has a rear channel that allows our alternative monitor brackets to be installed. This choice includes quick release, ceiling mount, heavy duty, and temporary suction mount brackets. You can choose to add a discounted price bracket with this monitor using the drop down selection box menu.
2 Year Guarantee - We believe that our brake light reversing cameras come from the best factory, the factory is so sure of their own product that they fully support our highly respected two year guarantee. We find the fault rate very low from them, but should anything happen in your first two years of ownership, we will provide a replacement. The monitor should last a very long time as well without any issue. We guarantee it to be free from faults for two years. After two years we are able to offer low cost repairs to keep your system in good condition and avoid extra time or expense installing all new components. We also keep good stock of spare parts such as wiring harnesses should you decide to take the monitor out of the vehicle with you when you sell your vehicle but leave the wiring where it is.
Additional Monitor Bracket Options
To add a discounted price additional monitor bracket to your product bundle, please see the descriptions/photos below. We also have a YouTube video showing the various bracket options below.
ACC035 - "Butterfly" Bracket option
So called because the base looks like a pair of butterfly wings. Fitted with an adhesive pad on the base, peel the protective layer off and stick to your clean dashboard. Additional screws can be used if you feel it needs reinforcement. The square nut fits in to the channel of your monitor, whilst there is a screw to the rear of the bracket that will then screw in to the square washer until it locks the two together.
ACC041 Quick Release Bracket option
The quick release bracket is one of the most popular bracket options. The bracket has a removable mounting plate that attaches to the rear channel of the monitor. This plate can then slide in to the bracket that is mounted to the dashboard and locks. To release, simply pull back the thumb switch at the rear, then slide the monitor up and out. Our monitors have disconnect points around a foot away from the monitor to allow it to disconnect. A bracket that makes initial install a little quicker, as well as allowing more adjustability in positioning of the display. Adhesive pad base for sticking to clean dashboard with bendable feet.
ACC705B - Heavy Duty Rear Mount Bracket Option
The most sturdy of all of our rear mounted dash mounts, all metal design. Monitor slides on to the bracket, which has a rear adjustment rotational wheel to lock the monitor to the bracket. Self adhesive base, with bendable "feet" for curvy dashboards. You can add screws if required.
ACC038 - Suction Mount Bracket Option
Only designed for temporary mounting eg. moving a monitor from one vehicle to another. This bracket has strong suction, people are often shocked by how strong it is. We use these when we road test new monitors for temporary mounting. A ball joint allows for good adjustment to give the monitor the optimum viewing angle.
ACC20540 - "Banana" Ceiling Mount Swan Neck Bracket Option
The ceiling mount bracket is a very sturdy and adjustable bracket mount for the monitor in this kit. Two screws secure this to the ceiling or plastic trim of the vehicle. The other side attaches to the channel on the back of the monitor and secures with a twist of the locking wheel. Release the tension by turning the hand screw knob on the left to allow the ball joint to rotate clockwise and anticlockwise, or up/down/left/right. These have been a very popular option since they were introduced.
Power Connection Options
You have the option to add additional leads that plug in to a DC socket on the monitor wiring harness. You will always be supplied with the standard power wire, which gives you a red wire and a black wire to solder / crimp to a power supply.
On the drop down menus you will notice there are two options selectable. One to add a lighter plug, one for a fuse tap. Scroll down for details on each option.
Lighter Plug
Selecting this option adds an additional lighter plug lead - attaches to a socket on the end of the 300cm monitor wiring loom/harness. Some people order this option just to try out there new kit before hardwiring permanently.
Fuse Tap (Mini blade, Standard blade)
Selecting this option adds an additional easy-wire fuse tap lead with built in earth terminal connector.
We designed and had this product produced in 2023, and they have been very popular. We wanted to create something that meant our customers could hardwire a reversing camera system to their vehicle with ease and minimal tools. Fuse taps have already become popular for installing dash cams, so we wanted to make them more popular for reversing camera kits too.
Usually fuse taps have no earth terminal connector and require crimp tools to connect to your wiring - our easy wire fuse tap kits are different. They come supplied with 2M of twin wire (power + earth) attached. The wires can be pulled apart should you wish to earth to an area far from the fuse box.
Choose a fuse that's active when the ignition is on. Remove the original fuse and place it in the empty slot of the fuse tap. The correct rated fuse for the new camera system is supplied already installed in the correct slot. Install the fuse tap (with the two fuses fitted) in to the fuse box (where you removed the original fuse). Lastly, connect the earth terminal to a chassis bolt or screw (or add a new bolt/screw to secure it).
The mini blade is the most commonly seen fuse size on modern vehicles.
Standard blade used to be the most common fuse size installed, and is still commonly seen, even on very recent vehicles.
