      Afraid not, this one is just to view.

    Thanks for your review, this is one I'm considering. Nice improvisation on the mag mount :) - there is a Factory mag mount bracket available for it now. When you had the camera on the Boat Trailer at 6:04, did you put it in the water like this or did you remove it first? It says IP68 I believe so technically it should be OK to be submerged to 1.5m for 30 mins, and a typical trailer launch would be nowhere near to either of these limits; would be interested in your findings of how it worked practically in that location. Easy enough to remove it though when you're on the ramp and taking off the tie-down straps anyway back there. Also, when used to monitor the tow-ball for backing up to connect to the trailer hitch, did you feel it gave a good focus/angle of view for that? Those are exactly the applications I will use - mag mount at the hitch for initial alignment for hook-up and then move to the rear of boat trailer afterwards. I'll personally never use the solar panel, just the USB charger.

      Hi! I did take it off the boat before launching. The image at the back of the trailer was great really useful especial to line up to the slipway / parking spaces.
      I now have a second camera so I can have one on the back of van and one on the back of boat both showing on on the same screen.
      The second camera has AutoVox’s mag mount and it looks a lot neater than mine 😬.
      For hitching up it is great I found pointing it straight down at the hitch the best angle.

    Great review. Any idea if any other AutoVox cameras can be paired with this system as the second camera or if it has to be another Solar 4 camera?

      I am afraid I only have experience of the Solar 4 Camera. If you drop Autovox a message I am sure they will confirm. www.auto-vox.com/page/support.html

    Can you use the camera as a rear view camera, on permanently when driving, or is it just a reversing camera.
    Thanks

    • @ExploreVanUK
      @ExploreVanUK  Год назад

      You can switch it on whenever you want to.

    • @barrieathey1822
      @barrieathey1822 Год назад

      Thanks but please confirm the camera can be left on permanently without the need to turn on/off.

    • @ExploreVanUK
      @ExploreVanUK  Год назад

      You can set it to be on permanently (set the sleep time to never) but this would obviously use the battery faster than the solar could put it back in (especially at night) so if you are doing a long drive you may have to consider charging the camera full first.
      As per the video we had it running continuously for 8 hours before the camera ran out without the solar panel plugged in.

      @@ExploreVanUK I have not watched the video yet but does it tell you how many hours of good sunlight does it need to charge a dead battery back up to where you get 8 hours out of it ?

    Saw u r video and making my mind but I keep u r opinion first I need to use it for my 26 feet straight truck . How is the range and how is the night vision on this camera . I don't want to loop with wires so need a honest opinion first before buying. I need it as a back up camera

    • @ExploreVanUK
      @ExploreVanUK  Год назад +1

      I see no problem with that - I got over 100 feet range and that was without using the external antenna.
      Night vision is very good, the IR leds give a good flood of light over the range of the camera.
      I now have a second Camera which makes it even more usable as I can have one on the back of the truck and a second on the back of the trailer both showing on the same screen, I'll be doing a follow-up video on this set up soon and will include a demo of the night vision in that.
