Review on πŸ“Έ Enhanced Rear View Safety RVS-770615 Backup Camera System: 3 Cameras & 7" LCD Display by Sean Garrison

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Oh yeah. SAFETY! in automotive electronics

We bought this to give us an idea of where everything was near our van as we rolled down the road. As a newcomer to the RV world, changing lanes when you weren't EXACTLY sure of what was on your flanks was quite frustrating. This system has three cameras to fully show the whazzup on either side and behind our giant Leviathan - awesome! There's a small wired controller that you can use to switch between the three cameras. Of course, a reversing camera is used in 98% of cases. The remaining 2% really justifies the investment. The monitor that comes with the system can be placed as close as the dashboard position allows, but it is so light that you can simply extend the gooseneck to fit the screen right up to your nose if required. , the night vision capabilities of the cameras are excellent - a very useful bonus! I was skeptical about this feature but quickly gained admiration when the big yellow thing left the area and took the whole world with it. I can assure you that you can only appreciate the sense of security after trying to drive a huge RV across an unlit road at night. Cons: - The purchased system only accepts the supplied monitor. to switch between cameras individually to get a good overview of the selected area, as the three-screen function is rather inadequate on the small monitor supplied. appropriate. We chose this device. This allows me to mount a 24 inch monitor to my right (dash mounted instead of the old RV TV) and another one above my head. The dashboard screen is split into left and right sides, and the top screen acts as a massive rear-view mirror. The result: absolute nirvana! The large screens allow a real-time view of the entire area to watch our unsuspecting drivers see through their sinuses if that's your thing. Summary: I spent some time speaking to one of the company's techs - a knowledgeable and helpful man - and recommended a few changes to the system configuration, particularly around the use of multiple (and large) non-company monitors AND camera placement on certain screens. If you're asking about this system, chances are they adjusted their hardware to allow for some of the modifications I've made to my RV at a lower cost. Don't be afraid to call and ask about your specific needs: there are operational works so buy and drive safely.!
