Review on 🚚 Enhanced Safety and Versatility: VECLESUS VMH 1080P Wired Backup Camera Kit for RV Trucks, Bus, and Heavy Duty Vehicles with 7" Wide Screen and Night Vision by Hector Mak

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty happy with the system for my particular setup.

Media could not be loaded. I bought this system to mount on my compact tractor and to control some of the attached equipment while in use. That way I don't have to turn around and strain my neck. I understand that the intended intent is to control the rear view when reversing, not constantly controlling something I'm using it for. In summary, I am very satisfied with the performance of the system since I installed and used it. . I have over 60 hours of system usage. I set up a camera specifically to monitor the stump grinder while it is in use. This chamber is installed within 30 inches of the cutting teeth of the stump grinder. The monitor is mounted on the tractor hood directly in front of the steering wheel. Vibrations are present in both places. Several times I have used the chamber system with the stump grinder running for up to 8 hours continuously. Other times I've used it continuously for 2-4 hours. As an advanced amateur photographer, I had some camera mounting equipment on hand that I adapted to this camera system to mount on my tractor. With quick release plates that can be quickly removed when not needed. While the cameras are intended for use in wet conditions, the monitor is of course intended for installation in a weatherproof, closed vehicle. Since that's not the case in my situation, being able to detach the monitor via the camera's quick release plate is very handy. I keep my tractor weatherproof in my workshop when not in use. I placed a second camera elsewhere to monitor a few other devices when they're in use, as well as the rear view when I'm cruising down the street. to another place. Since I use my gear during the day, my nighttime observations are just a test. I'll try to attach some pictures related to the general setup and observations. When I can turn images on, at night you see images with very low ambient light and then an image with the LED work light on. The very low backlight image is expectedly lacking in detail but surprisingly gives an image. Adding an LED work light definitely improves night time detail. I think any set with backup lighting for night use will provide a decent image. I'm not sure how many images Revain will allow me to include in my review. Please understand that my phone's camera picks up individual pixels and reflections quite easily. I will say that the images on the monitor are definitely sharper than they may appear in my photos and from my point of view when I'm sitting there really are no reflections. I will also try to attach a short video of the stump grinder monitor in operation so you can get an idea of the vibration. When installing the camera system components, I took some precautions to try and reduce the vibration transmitted to the camera system components. Something appeared on the monitor that I had a question about. Before writing this review I reached out to Veclesus regarding this to give them a chance to explain before I write my review. I have to say that Veklesus responded with an explanation in a very timely manner. What I saw on the monitor was an image that correctly represented the green color of the paint on the mechanical devices, but not the green color of the vegetation. As a photographer, I thought there might be some kind of filter in place. As Veklesus explained, filtering is in place to help with night shots. Which makes sense to me. While the lack of green in daylight vegetation was initially bothersome, once I got used to it it wasn't a problem for me. Overall, as of this writing, I am very happy with my decision to purchase and install this system for my intended purpose. So much so that I bought a Veclesus VMW7 1080P wireless system to install on my caravan. I won't be taking my trailer out of storage for a few weeks. If I have a chance to install and test this wireless system I will post a review for it.
