About our High Definition White Slimline Reversing Camera Kit with 7" Monitor
Upgraded White slimline reverse camera kit with 7" dash-mounted monitor. 12V/24V, High Definition Image Quality, Durable Monitor and Camera, Adjustable Guidelines when reversing ON/OFF via Monitor, Two Year Guarantee, Great Looks and Great Performance. Choice of mounting bracket for the monitor.
Excellent Monitor Image Quality - With a huge amount of experience sampling hundreds of monitors over the decades, we are well placed to be a good judge of monitor image quality. We know that numbers only tell half the story. There are different grades of monitor panel on the market and we carefully test all of our monitors in the real world before adding them to our range. 2x monitors can look identical on paper, yet add a camera and take them outside and you can have a vastly different user experience. The cheaper version can struggle to show differences in shading that cause you to lose a lot of detail that your reverse camera has sent to it. This monitor performs brilliantly at replicating both bold, vibrant colours, as well as subtle differences in shade, which all helps to make viewing easy on the eye as well as helping you to see obstacles that you might otherwise miss.
2 Year Guarantee - Due to our careful selection of long term trusted manufacturers, we provide a 2-year guarantee on this monitor. In the unlikely event of a fault during this period, we will quickly rectify with either a repair or replacement. Outside of this period we are often able to offer a low cost repair service, as well as spare parts e.g. wiring harness. Great if you plan to take the monitor with you if you change vehicle, or for confidence that you can keep the system working well for many, many years to come in the future.
Works on 12V and 24V Vehicles - The monitor can be powered up by either a 12V feed e.g. Vans, Cars, Motorhomes, or a 24V feed e.g. HGV/LGV/Lorry. Any voltage up to 32V will be regulated down to 12V by the Monitor and supplied to the camera.
Choice of Monitor Bracket Options - This monitor is fitted with a central rear channel to mount various monitor brackets. It comes with a "butterfly" bracket as standard, but a discounted additional bracket can be ordered using the drop down menu on this listing, see the monitor bracket tab for more details.
Full Function Monitor Remote Control - We supply a remote control that will allow you to change channels, operate the menu, turn the monitor on/off etc. This is especially useful if you have the monitor mounted far away from you.
Reverse Trigger Wire for Handsfree Use - The monitor wiring harness has a green trigger wire present. If you add a positive power feed from the reverse light to this wire it will automatically turn the monitor on (if it was off at the time) and select V2 (Channel 2 - Reversing Camera Channel), when you leave reverse gear it would revert to its last state - in this case power off. If the monitor was on already and you were watching channel 1, it would swap across to channel 2 before returning to its last state - in this case channel 1.
Extra Wide Camera Viewing Angle - This camera is fitted with a very high quality 150 degrees field of view Lens. All glass composite design to avoid fading over time vs cheaper glass/plastic composites.
Adjustable Camera Barrel Up + Down - This camera can be tilted back up/down. plus can also be deconstructed and rebult to allow the monitor to be mounted to various surfaces whether vertical or horizontal.
Attractive White Slimline Camera Design - A subtle, discreet camera that can be mounted either low down near the number plate, or higher up to give a birdseye view. See our images to see an example of this camera fitted high up on the back of a Motorhome.
1080P AHD High Definition Camera Image Sensor - Fitted with a top specification 2399 1080P AHD image sensor, this camera will output a 1920*1080P high definition image.
High Dynamic Range Image - The high quality image sensor installed (the part that captures the image detail) is great at dealing with light and dark areas in the image at the same time.
Brilliant Vivid Colours - In the day time this reversing camera will give you lovely, bright, vivid images. At night the camera will be in black and white night vision mode.
Night Vision IR LED's - Thanks to the fitted IR LED's you can expect good rear vision at all times, even in the middle of the night. With separated IR LED's and Lens you can expect good contrast at night time, to give you greater confidence whilst reversing.
IP68 Waterproof Protection - With a rating of IP68, you can be assured your camera will remain in good working order whatever the Great British weather can throw at it.
Increases Reversing Safety - With nearly a quarter of all vehicle collisions ocurring whilst reversing, having a reversing camera helps give you greater visibility when travelling backwards. Important in avoiding harming others, or damaging property.

You can now choose to upgrade your kit to the latest AHD technology. This upgrades both camera, and monitor spec. Read more about the technology below.
What is the difference between traditional reversing cameras, and the latest AHD reversing cameras?
For many years reversing cameras have used a technology called CVBS (composite video baseband signal). This is the same technology that you will have seen in the past on devices such as DVD players. CVBS has limitations as to the resolution that it can transmit, typically this is around 480i.
For years, the world has come to see ever increasingly high-definition cameras get developed. Until recently we haven’t seen this trickle down to things like reversing cameras.
The reason for this delay is due to the problems in transmitting high-definition video across distances greater than a few meters. Digital video signal cables are limited to short distances without the use of repeaters. For example, HDMI cable has not long advanced to be able to handle around 15ft before signal degradation becomes an issue.
AHD is known as Analogue High Definition; it allows a High-Definition video signal to travel through a traditional analogue coax cable. This new technology solves the transmission distance limitations issue and allows the reversing camera world to finally experience a substantial increase in both definition and dynamic range.
With it being a new technology, how can I be assured I won’t experience any teething problems?
The truth is that AHD has been around for a number of years now, and it DID have teething problems. This is why we only brought in our range in early 2022, once we were convinced it was stable enough.
We did bring some small batches of AHD kits a few years earlier, selling them cheaply to assess how they performed in the real world. For the most part they worked well, but they weren’t perfect. The biggest problem was something the factories termed “flicker”. In 2021 we were informed that this had finally been solved, and all of our samples / road tests confirmed this.
So are all AHD cameras better than the traditional cameras?
The short answer is no.
As always, the answer is more complex than just comparing numbers. For example, you can get 720P/960P/1080P camera chipsets for just a few quid (£). The cheap camera chipset will give you a worse picture than a good quality traditional CVBS 480i camera, despite its “bigger numbers”.
The only real way we were able to decide on which image sensors we would stock in our new range, was to test them out in the real world with lots of samples.
If the monitors aren’t also 1080P, then what is the point in using a 1080P camera?
Resolution isn’t a massive problem when it comes to the smaller screens used in reversing camera monitors eg 7 inch. The 800x480 (384,000 pixels) digital hi resolution panels used on our standard premium systems have pixels so small it is hard to see them, even close up! The only time we hear people mention resolution as a problem, is when discussing the cheaper analogue LCD panels that have 480x234 pixels (112,320 pixels) displays - these you can easily see pixels.
Our AHD monitors are upgraded to 1024x600 pixels (614,400 pixels), which is a 60% increase compared to the digital LCD. They also use IPS panels instead of standard LCD, which allows for better colour replication.
During testing we notice that some of the best AHD camera image sensors are 1080P only, such as the Sony IMX307 sensor. When you compare this sensor to cheaper 720P/960P/1080P AHD sensors, you see a big difference in night-time picture, as well as when there are differences in light levels across the picture eg. bright headlamps in an unlit area, or shadowy areas on a bright day.
So although you won’t experience full 1080P, when it comes to screen sizes that are substantially smaller than your TV at home, and a lot closer to your eyes, it isn’t really noticeable. Plus you get the main benefits of high dynamic range, great colour, and great low light level performance.
So are there any drawbacks to AHD?
Not many, the main one is the delay in changing channel – this is around 2-3 seconds on average, compared to approx. 1 second with traditional CVBS signal systems.
The second is that the night mode kicks in more suddenly. With traditional CVBS cameras the transition between night and day is much slower. AHD goes black and white as soon as the light level reaches a certain Lux level. Most of our AHD cameras this happens at between 1 and 8 Lux depending on camera model. In night mode the camera image will be black and white, with no colour visible. This has advantages though, since the black and white image will be miles more detailed than a colour image with a lot of “noise” to the picture.
Lastly, AHD isn't recommended for trailers due to the fact that the more coils and links you add to the cabling, the more this will affect the very high frequency signal of the 1080P cameras.
Is there any point in selling the CVBS technology still?
Absolutely, CVBS reversing cameras will still be around for many years to come.
When it comes to car stereos, there are only a few models that can support AHD, the vast majority will only support CVBS.
When it comes to full systems, people will appreciate the cheaper cost, the quicker start up/changeover times, and still appreciate the good image quality that our premium CVBS sensors give.
Our summary
As you can see, things are never as simple as they first appear. All we can ask, is that you trust our judgement when it comes to image sensor choice/quality. Leave it to us to road test hundreds of variations, both day and night, before bringing the best to market (working with the factories to improve their product with our experience).
I hope this bit of knowledge has helped inform your product choice.
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.
