AUTO-VOX Solar Wireless Reversing Camera 5" 1080P Monitor: 5000mAh Battery 2 Mins DIY Installation & 2 Split Screen Reverse Cameras Kit, IP69K Waterproof Reversing Camera for Car Van SUV Truck Trailer

I needed a reverse camera for our Citroën C3 Aircross. The boot is quite high and it’s hard to judge the distance when getting close to other parked cars or walls. I have purchased other Auto-Vox cameras before and have always been happy with the quality and relative cheap price compared to their competitors. I have the an Auto-Vox solar reverse camera on our Motorhome that we purchased about a year ago and we are pleased with its performance, so when the new Solar 3C model came out we thought we would get one.I purchased from Amazon and it came the next day. It was an absolute breeze to set up. So easy. Plus, what I liked about the 3C is that it’s got a better screen (small and wide) than our previous model. When I tested (always a good idea before full instal) it was paired already. The only thing you have to do is charge the camera in preparation. I put it on charge and went for a short walk with the dog and it was ready to instal. I installed within 30 minutes.If I were to be hyper critical, the camera moves 70 degrees (up or down), but I would have preferred that to be a just little more, other than that it’s absolutely brilliant. The bracket ensures that it does not interfere with my number plate, so it is hardly noticeable.The picture is clean and crisp with 1080p clarity, there is no untidy wires anywhere, it is completely wireless and seamless. With the solar working, I’ll never have to charge it again (like my one on the motorhome).

This is my second Auto-Vox Camera. I was so pleased with the performance of my first purchase which I currently have installed on my campervan and it has provided great service now for two years. This time I’ve purchased the Auto-Vox 7.2” Solar wireless Reversing Camera with DVR loop recording. Sure enough, within 2 mins the camera was installed to the underside of my number plate. I chose this position to prevent interfering with the number plate lights and boot release latch. The monitor is a good size, not dominating the dashboard. The HD 1080P colour display is excellent, with the option to add an additional camera for a trailer, caravan or forward facing recording. Such a versatile and quality product - I would highly recommend it.

PROS:-------* Zero installation hassles, no wires to fuse boxes or rear lights required.* No drilling anything.* No setup required, instantly paired with display.* Easy to use menu system.* Can keep display on permanently (or 2mins & 4mins).* Appears to have 2 channels so possibly can add another camera(?)* Record/overwrite feature for accident/insurance purposes.* Can tilt camera up/down to suit.* Can turn off reversing lines.* Widescreen display is very nice with contrast/brightness controls.* Build quality seems to be very good.CONS:-------* Camera is very fisheye'd which makes using as a normal rear-view mirror difficult.* Start/Stop systems will turn on the display regularly.* No suction cup option for easy windscreen positioning.* Bracket doesn't offer angles that allows you to position the display where a standard rear-view mirror would go.THOUGHTS:--------------Initially I thought I would use it as a rear-view camera in my new large van but after a good hour-long test drive with it I realised I barely needed to use it, but I will definately be using it to assist with reversing. I didn't like the fisheye effect which put me off from relying on it as a general rear-view.No idea if the solar feature is any good or not just yet, the camera arrived fully charged and I gave it some more charge before installation to make sure it was at full capacity.After deciding to only use it for reversing, I've set it to turn off after 2mins and turned down the brightness a touch so I expect it to last several weeks as advertised, maybe the start/stop feature of my van will reduce the battery a touch quicker.Overall, I'm happy with it.

Perfect reversing camera for my 50 year old campervan.Fast delivery. Took minutes to fit camera and display. Fortunately I'd already fitted a cigar lighter. Camera was already paired to the display so immediately ready to go.In use it's transformed my parking experience and now no hitting walls with the rear bumper!The display stopped working after a couple of weeks, but a quick chat with Gigi and I soon received a new camera and display with no need to return the broken one. Pairing the new display to the original camera was simple and it's worked flawlessly since then.The camera has been subjected to everything from very hot sun to torrential 'monsoon' rain with no problems. The built in solar panel keeps it charged and I've never needed to top it up via the micro usb connector.Overall an excellent piece of kit at a good price with support that actually works when needed.

It looks great, the package was damaged but does effect the product. Not fitted it yet but have checked it out and works really well. Easy to fit, really easy. Great value for the price. It works straight out of the box so to say. You can adjust the brightness as you want. Battery life I'm not sure yetas I've only had it 2 days but I can't see why it's not what it says as everything else is right.
