Can anyone recommend a good reversing camera please?

[doodlesmum]

Don't want a beep beep type, just need to be able to see if anyone decides to walk behind me when I'm reversing. Mechanic suggested one fitted just above rear bumper but I've seen them fitted higher, near the roof line. Which is best? Thank you, any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for that. I'll email the link to the mechanic and see what he says.

If you have a video input into your head-set, then any reasonable quality camera will work ok. LEDs or IR a bonus, although this one Ebay works very well with minimal light. Looks good on a 1920hd screen. Still need the wife though because there is always a post or something you dont see on camera!

Agree, Chris is very helpful and the cameras he sells are good.

DRW Electronics that attends most of the shows is good quality and knowledgeable.

These Camos Jewel Cameras are a brilliant piece of kit. Not cheap though !
unfortunately RoadPro are some distance from Norfolk, so you may not wish to travel that far even though their service is second to none.

RoadPro will supply the kit only, from their catalog, if you can fit the camera yourself.
They also give a small discount to forum members. (Not sure if this only applies if they fit the equipment ? )

I’ve had one for over a year, no problems at all (I paid £109 for mine).

Thanks for all the helpful replies, looks like the Auto Vox is the one to go for.

But the OP said they didn't want the beep beep type!

With the language the wife uses that's all I hear!

I am looking at the camos Newell v2, is it possible to switch between views manually without having to go into reverse? There are times when it would be useful to monitor trailors etc or when maneuvering in tight aires etc.

Have found that after about 10 minutes driving on wet roads the picture is crap coming from my rear camera

I think that is the same with most cameras?

What have you got?

Have the standard twin lenses on the back of the van that has a separate monitor so I can view behind me when travelling it also shows the floor when in reverses, also have a Camos 360 system for when things get a bit tight
