Eonon reversing camera.

Postby Andrew74 » Fri Jun 15, 2018 1:43 pm

Hi my reversing cameras image isn't completely pure. It's ok to start with then you can't see the picture properly. I've checked all the wiring and it seems ok. The loose connection could be at the back of the camera itself, can you take the back off these to check the wiring? Thanks Andrew

When you say you cant see the picture properly, how do you mean?
If its a case of the picture going fuzzy then it might be worth considering what else you have turned on in the van, if anything.

Any items taking power from the van, either the cig lighter or stuff thats hardwired in (chargers, dash-cams, inverters, etc), can interfere with reversing screens.

I have mostly quite expensive kit in my van yet my sub interferes with my head unit screen sometimes, and I also had a dash cam that used to do that same.

Thanks, the picture is going fuzzy. When the monitor first turns it's normally ok, then it starts to get fuzzy. I've got a cigarette lighter, the fridge runs off a live on the dash and the camera. I was thinking it could be interference from something. I've had a look at the wires I can get to, I'm not sure if the back of the camera comes off, I don't want to brake it. How willbi be able to tell if the interference is from something else? Thanks

Firstly, unless you fully understand whats inside whatever you're taking apart, dont take it apart. You're more likely to break it than fix it.

Its more likely to be interferance through crap cables from the camera to the monitor - you'd be suprised how much signal loss there is down a 4 or 5 meter run of sh*t cable. Or if its wireless then it could just be a poor match of transmitter and reciever.

To test to see if you can find what is interfering turn other things off, like the fridge, and see if you get the same problems.

Thanks, I'll have a look tomorrow. Your right, the monitor would break if I took the back off.

The other possibility is that the camera or monitor are defective, or just not particularly good quality.
Were they expensive?

Not sure on the price as I inherited it when I purchased the van. Do the back of these monitors come off? Thanks

Just asking if the backs of the monitors do actually come off, not going to do it myself.
