![]() ![]() I ordered the 50 extension cable that is optional, since the camera pigtail is only about three feet long. The camera and mount are delicate, but in the mount I fabricated they are well protected from a wayward branch or hail stone. This will get the camera up high where it can get a good panoramic view and also be up and out of the way. I laid everything out carefully using a bubble to align with the trailer cross belt line, and positioned the bracket on a relatively flat part near the bottom of the available space. ![]() Revealed to you is more crappy wiring ( There is 6 inches of free hull area below the LED riding lights and lots of room to maneuver if you stand on a small step stool. The only tricky part is behind the pantry insert.Īccess to the inside of the rear wall of the hull is easy once you lower the two side panels and pull down the insulation. Running the coax is easy since there is a continuous wiring "trough" all the way along the left side. It has easy access from the 6 inch round port in the head cabinet. But, after all "BC" does stand for "Backup Camera.For mounting the transmitter, I was originally going to run dc power and the Garmin antenna coax to the front closet, but in looking at the limited access at the entry door I decided it was going to be too much of a pain, so I settled on the small wiring compartment immediately aft of the head, street side. They don't want you looking at the video, I guess, except when using it when backing. Finally, you can't really use it as an alternate "rear view mirror" as it automatically switches off the video once in forward motion as a safety feature. ![]() Some make some sort of security bracketing. Others secure it with plastic cable ties and have to cut them and replace them with each battery change. One solution is to mount it inside looking out the rear window instead of mounting on the license plates. Perhaps the most significant annoyance is that it lacks security as it is easy to just snap off the mount in about a second. I have a Garmin DriveSmart 61 which is a model that does NOT have this resolution setting feature. Some, not all, of the compatible Garmin GPS units allow setting the camera's resolution and lower resolution helps battery life. In a pinch, or if you prefer, you can certainly just use alkaline batteries, but the life will be more like a few weeks. So, it is good to keep spare batteries in the vehicle. Battery life is a couple of months, maybe more, using lithium non-rechargeables (1.5 volt AA size). So, at night, you only have available light, but it still does fairly well. It does not have a night mode (such as infrared lighting like some cameras) no doubt because it must always run on batteries. HOWEVER, there are some details worth knowing about.
