Stainless steel bracket, high-definition 1080P Sony image sensor, easy-fit cabling, and a 2-year guarantee. If you are looking for a reliable, sharp, colour, always-on image from a reputable UK company (Reversing Cameras UK Ltd), then this kit provides it.
White High Definition Dual Lens Rear View + Reversing Camera with Heavy Duty U Bracket 7-inch Dash Monitor
This reversing camera kit includes a black-painted stainless steel bracket reverse and rearview camera. The high-definition IPS panel on the monitor and the Sony AHD 1080P image sensors on the twin lens cameras mean you can expect a good picture day and night. Suitable for always-on use. You can change channels whenever you wish to between the 120 degree wide angle lens (for parking), and the 45 degree angle lens (for rear view only use - gives a more natural distance perception for long range viewing vs wide angle). The kit offers :
High-Definition IPS Display - This monitor has a top-quality display with a 7-inch 1024x600 pixel panel. IPS technology—the same tech used for gaming PC monitors—provides lovely colours and an easy-to-see screen from all positions.
Two Cameras In One Bracket - These cameras can be angled independently of each other. The twin lens camera unit works best mounted high up on the rear wall of a van or motorhome, with the wide angle 120-degree camera angled down to show the back of the vehicle as a reversing camera and the narrow-angle 45-degree camera angled to view back down the road to show following traffic as a rearview driving camera.
High Definition 1080P Camera Image Sensors by Sony - The image sensor has one of the largest impacts on image quality. It is the part of the camera that captures the colour and light detail. We road-tested dozens of image sensors for this camera before settling on the Sony IMX307, known as a starlight sensor due to its excellent ability to work in low light levels. We love the bright, vibrant colours that these cameras produce. Coupled with the quality IPS panel, the image looks beautiful on screen.
Small Cable Entry Hole - Thanks to the slimline disconnect point we have added to the two camera cables. This means only an 8mm hole is required to get each cable inside the vehicle. Please kindly note that these 8mm disconnects are not waterproof. If you are planning your cable entry more than 1ft away from the camera please let us know that you want the "no-8mm disconnect" version, which will go straight to the very waterproof 4 pin connector.
Anti-Rust Stainless Steel Bracket and Hood - Both bracket parts 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 still use 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 the bracket and the 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.
Night Vision IR on Parking Camera - The image sensor included is very sensitive in low light levels. We have included IR LED's on the downward-facing camera. With the long-distance driving camera, we may send either one with IR LED's or one without. If you have a preference as to which we supply, please let us know in the customer notes section of the checkout. The version without IR LED's was introduced after comments were made saying they liked the darkness in the cabin when the IR LED's aren't on. With AHD, there is no gradual analogue change in to night mode (unlike the traditional standard definition technology). Instead, night vision IR mode is either OFF or ON due to the physical IR-cut filter that moves inside for AHD cameras.
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.
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.
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.

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 Option
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.
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.
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.
