5" Monitor + "Cigar Shape" Number Plate Reversing Camera Kit Details
This reversing camera system bundle combines our compact 5-inch display and a bolt to number plate reversing camera. The number plate camera is fitted with night vision, a very wide angle aspheric lens, adjustable barrel up/down, and a quality high resolution image sensor.
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 Reversing Camera - The number plate reversing camera features a high resolution image sensor (the 1058), plus a high quality aspheric lens. This combination assures a beautiful, vibrant colour image to give maximum detail for reversing safety.
Easy-Fit Wiring - This system uses a 4 pin screw locking connector, with the monitor providing power to the camera. You could even run the whole system of an optional lighter plug for instant install.
Compact Size Monitor Display- The 5 inch LCD display means that this monitor is compact and fits vehicles that are more restricted for size.
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 monitor 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.
Optional slimline 8mm disconnect point - The cable length selection drop down menu includes an 8mm disconnect point option on selected cable lengths. If you select this option we will supply a version of the main extension cable that has a small 8mm diameter disconnect point, so that the larger connector is temporarily removed to allow for easy feeding through the vehicle and any tight gaps/cupboards etc you may encounter. The disconnect is 1M from the front of the cable, so it will re-join close to the monitor and convert back to the 4 pin screw connector for the monitor input.
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.
