About our Mini Bolt to Number Plate Reversing Camera Kit with 7" Heavy Duty Dash Monitor
Extra small bolt reverse camera designed to fit an 8mm hole to the numberplate light trim, powerful 4089 700tvl high resolution image sensor, and quality digital hi-res monitor. Comes with a 2 year guarantee, lifetime support, fast delivery, and all the service you would expect from the forum favourites - Reversing Cameras UK Ltd. Wide range of mounting options for monitor, as well as power options e.g. lighter plug, easy wire fuse taps that link to monitor power socket. This reversing camera kit has the following advantages :
Small and Discreet - This reversing cameras is probably one of the most discreet we have seen. I invite you to check out the installation photos sent in by Laura of it fitted to her VW Transporter van, it almost looks factory fit.
High Resolution Camera Image Quality - The factory managed to get our favourite lens/image sensor combo fitted in to the small case - the 4089 700tvl high resolution image sensor, coupled with the all-glass composite lens. The image sensor is one of the most important aspects of achieving a good picture from a reversing camera. This image sensor is the same as we use on our brake light cameras, which are greatly respected by the community. All glass composite lenses cost more than their plastic/lens composite counterparts, but long-term they are worth it. The cheaper lenses fade over time due to UV damage to the plastic elements, no such problem with ours! Expect a clear image years later.
Extra Wide Viewing Angle - A 150 degree lens all-glass composite lens is fitted to make it an extra wide angle reversing camera. Being low down on the number plate, you want as wide angle as you can get. This makes it possible to see and avoid any obstacles behind your vehicle.
IP68 Waterproof Protection - The IP rating is a number that specifies how good the product is at resisting water and dust. IP68 will deal with the worst weather conditions you will ever find.
Guidelines ON/OFF Function - The camera will add guidelines as standard. If you wish to remove these from the image produced, simply cut the white trigger loop/wire that is close to the small disconnect point.
Auto-Dim Function - This monitor is built with a light sensor that detects how bright the cabin is. This means that when you drive through a tunnel, or start driving at night, the monitor will automatically adjust the brightness of itself to reduce glare to the driver.
Bright High Resolution Monitor Display - This monitor is fitted with a good quality LED backlit 800x480 high resolution digital LCD panel. In this business numbers tend to mean little, two monitors with the same technical description can have completely different performance to each other. Rest assured that this monitor is one of the best for image performance in the standard definition range.
Two Year Guarantee - We guarantee your product will be free from defects for 2 years after purchase. After this time, we can usually perform low cost repairs, as well as provide support e.g. spare parts (wiring harnesses, brackets...).
Deep Removable Sunshade - If you have a bright cabin, having a deep sunshade is important to maintain good visibility to the LCD screen. This is removeable - useful if you plan to mount high.
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 Cable Length Options (see tab) - 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). For more details click on the cable length options 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.

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.
