Sony CCD Black Bracket Reversing Camera Kit with 5" Display | PM51B-SD
A reversing camera kit includes our compact 5-inch display and our black-painted stainless steel bracket reverse camera. The high-resolution digital LCD panel on the monitor and the Sony 1/3" CCD 700tvl image sensor on the camera means you can expect a good picture quality day and night.
5" Monitor + Black Bracket Reversing Camera Kit Details
This reversing camera kit combines our compact 5-inch display and black-painted stainless steel bracket reverse camera. The high-resolution digital LCD panel on the monitor and the Sony 1/3" CCD 700tvl image sensor on the camera means you can expect a good picture quality day and night. You can select between either a 120 degree wide angle lens (for general rear vision and parking), or a 60 degree angle lens (for specific rear view only use - gives a more natural distance perception for long range viewing vs wide angle). The kit offers :
Choice of 120° or 60° lens angle for camera - If you are purchasing as you want a reversing camera system then I would recommend you select the 120° lens option. This will give you a wider field of view and you will see more obstacles that are close to the back of your vehicle. If you are purchasing as you want a rear view driving camera system I would recommend the 60° lens option. When viewing further back down the road, the lower the lens angle, the less distance perception will be distorted. Having said that, I know a lot of people still use the 120° option for rear view due to the wider spread across the adjacent lanes on the motorway.
High Resolution Display - Our compact 5 inch stand/dash mount monitor display still packs a punch thanks to it's 800x480 pixel digital hi-res LCD panel. This resolution can handle even the highest resolution of traditional CVBS signal reversing cameras (CVBS signal still makes up 95%+ of all existing reversing camera systems).
High Resolution Reverse Camera - This bracket camera is fitted with a Sony 811 700tvl 1/3" CCD image sensor. Very widely respected in the CCTV industry. The image sensor is the part of the camera that captures the picture detail, so it has a huge impact on picture quality.
Anti-Rust Stainless Steel Bracket and Hood - Both parts of the bracket are made from painted stainless steel. Stainless steel doesn't suffer from the rusty, broken brackets that mild steel suffers from. Most reversing cameras you find on the market today are still using mild steel. You can check using a magnet - mild steel will stick to the magnet, whilst stainless steel won't. The paint finish on both bracket and main body is also matt finish as we find this is more corrosion resistant than gloss finish paints. This reversing camera will stay looking good for a long time.
Easy-Fit Wiring - Using the 4 pin aviation cabling, this system is easy to wire up as the monitor provides power to the camera via the all in one locking waterproof connector cables. We have used 4 pin cables since the mid 2000's, it has now become the dominant cable connector in the industry. Strong and durable connectors, they can even be left outside in wet and freezing conditions.
Compact Size Monitor 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.
Two Year Guarantee and Lifetime Support - This monitor and reversing camera kit should last a very long time 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 on the monitor 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, cables, and cameras 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.
Choice of power options - We have had a DC socket added to the monitors wiring harness that allows you to select various power lead attachments to plug in to this. As standard you are supplied with a lead that terminates in a red wire (+12V / +24V) and black wire (Earth / Ground). You may also choose from a cigarette lighter 12V plug option, or an easy wire fuse tap option that allows you to hardwire the whole kit without soldering or crimping. Simply remove a fuse from the fuse box, insert it in to the fuse tap, then connect the earth terminal to a chassis screw/bolt. See the power options tab for more details.
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. See the monitor bracket options tab for more details.
Various Bracket Options (see tab) - The standard U Bracket can either be mounted down on to a flat piece of dashboard area, or you can invert the bracket and have it hanging from the ceiling. The monitor also has a rear channel that is designed to fit any of our range of stand style monitor brackets. Add one discounted bracket by using the drop down menu on this listing. For more details click on the monitor brackets tab.
Multiple Power Options Including Lighter and Fuse Taps (see tab) - We want to make wiring your new reverse camera system in as simple as possible. To this end, we offer a few additional options for powering the system up. As the monitor powers the camera down the all-in-one screw locking cable, the power supply you provide the monitor will in turn supply the camera. We always provide the standard hardwiring (a simple red and black wire to connect), but you are also able to add fuse taps and lighter plugs that link to the DC socket on the monitor wiring. Our fuse taps are not your bog standard crimp on type, they were designed by us and have 200cm leads with a fuse tap on the red wire, and an earth terminal attached to the black wire. Hardwiring with no crimps/soldering. For more details click on the power options tab.
Flexible Cable Length Options, including Adaptors - We produce our own bundles from our favourite factories. We combine the best monitor factories, with the best reversing camera factories, and then link it all up with pure copper extension cables from our favourite cable manufacturer. This means we are able to offer customisation such as different length extension cables, adaptors, and convenience features such as our 8mm disconnect points (to get cables through tight gaps/small holes) Using the drop-down menu above, you can select from a range of cable lengths and adaptors. See cable length options tab for more details.
For more information including instructions, please click the tab for PDF instructions. If you would like any information/questions that may not be present, please contact us.
Cable Length Options
This drop down menu allows you to select the length of cable that goes between the camera and the monitor wiring harness. When choosing cable length, please be aware that there is between 2-3M length supplied with the monitor wiring, whilst the reversing camera has another approx. 0.5M. We use quality pure copper 4 pin screw locking connector cables to ensure a long lasting, stable picture.
What Length Should I select?
5M (16ft) - Ideal if you have a very small vehicle e.g. a car or compact van.
7.5M (24ft) - Recommended for large cars, 4x4, and some smaller vans.
10M (32ft) - Most popular length for standard sized vans.
12.5M (41ft) - Most popular length for Motorhomes and larger vans.
15M (49ft) - Ideal for large Motorhomes and HGV/LGV.
20M (65ft) - Fits very large vehicles e.g. HGV, Coaches, and LGV.
8mm Disconnect Link
We are able to offer a small disconnect 8mm point on our 10M/12.5M/15M cable lengths. This is located 100cm from the front side of the cable (next to the monitor). This means you can run the cable through tight gaps/cupboards/bulk heads with just a small 8mm hole/gap required, reconnecting the larger connector once you have your cable next to the monitors wiring harness.
2010+ Dometic/Waeco Cable Adaptors
We often see motorhomes pre-fitted with the 2010+ Dometic/Waeco cable. Most commonly this is seen on Baileys, Burstner, and Hymer motorhomes, although has been found on a wide assortment of others too. See the photo below for an image of what this type of cable looks like.
If you choose the option for the adaptors then you will receive an adaptor to place on both sides of your existing cable (we won't give you a long cable). Essentially this turns your existing pre-fitted cable in to one of our 4 pin cables. See photo below of the pair of adaptors you will receive.
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.
