Backup Camera System Kit 7ft LCD Reversing Monitor + Rear View Camera

In this review of the Backup Camera System Kit we look at a complete reversing solution aimed at truck, RV and trailer owners who need a clear, wide view when backing up. The kit's single biggest selling point is the upgraded 170 wide viewing angle camera paired with a large 7' HD monitor, which together provide a broad, sharp image of the vehicle rear. For drivers who tow, operate box trucks or park large vehicles, this system is worth considering for improved visibility and straightforward installation.

Key Features

• 170 wide viewing angle: The upgraded rear camera uses a 170 field of view and a six-layer all glass lens to capture the full width behind larger vehicles and reduce blind spots.
• 7' HD monitor: A 7' screen with 800x480 resolution delivers a sharper, larger image that makes it easier to judge distance and obstacles while reversing.
• Dual video inputs: The monitor supports two video inputs so drivers can add a second camera or switch between views without swapping hardware.
• Long 20 m cable: The included 20 meter 4-pin aviation extension cable is tailored for trucks, RVs and trailers for clean routing between cab and tail.
• IP68 waterproof and night vision: The camera meets IP68 protection and includes 18 infrared LEDs to provide usable images in heavy rain and in very low light or no ambient light conditions.
• Flexible mounting: The monitor can be hung overhead or freestanding on a dashboard to suit different vehicle layouts and driver sightlines.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of larger vehicles such as pickup trucks, RVs, trailers, box trucks and vans who need a wide rear view and a long cable run between camera and cabin. The large monitor and long 20 m extension make routing and visibility easy for commercial and recreational vehicles where distance and mounting options matter.

It is less suitable for drivers who need an ultra compact camera or a fully wireless setup; those seeking wireless convenience or a camera hidden inside tight bumper cavities may want to look at alternative systems designed specifically for compact or wireless installations.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Clear, wide-angle images that cover the full vehicle width and reduce blind spots for safer reversing.
• Large 7' HD monitor with dual inputs makes viewing and adding a second camera straightforward.
• Robust weatherproofing (IP68) and 18 infrared LEDs provide reliable night and all-weather performance.
• Included 20 m 4-pin extension cable suits trucks, RVs and trailers for flexible installation.

Cons

• Some users report occasional functionality or wiring quality concerns, so careful installation and testing are recommended.
• Not a wireless system, so installation requires routing the long cable through vehicle panels which may be time consuming for some installers.
