Video Transcript for Review of Rear View Safety Backup Camera - Backup Camera System - RVS-776718-D
Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this rear view safety G Series universal backup camera system. This is going to be a universal mirror that will replace most existing rear view mirrors. It's gonna fit right in place of your original and it will function just like your original to give you that rear view of what's out your back window and that sort of thing, but then it's also going to have a nice, bright 4.3 inch color TFT display that will connect to the included camera and so that you can see very clearly what's behind you. You can see on the display there we do have those backup lines so we can see how close we're getting and make sure that we're not gonna be too close as we're backing up. This does have the compact camera that's gonna be ideal for your smaller vehicles.
That's gonna fit in place very easily with the included adjustable mounting bracket so you can get the correct angle. It does have a 170 degree ultra-wide viewing angle so you'll be able to see all around the vehicle, the backside of your vehicle. And this does also provide excellent night vision so you'll be able to see even in low light conditions. And because this is gonna be on the exterior of your vehicle, it is good to know that it is IP68 rated. So it's gonna help keep out dirt and moisture and hold up well to being outside of your vehicle.
This kit does include all the wires, connectors, and mounts that you'll need including a 33 foot long camera cable here. It's going to allow you to run from your camera out to, sorry, your camera out to your mirror and make sure that you have plenty of length there. They also include the power harness here that is going to connect to your mirror, but it also has a second camera input. So if you wanted to add on an additional camera in the future, you could do that as well. And they also include a remote control so you can adjust the settings of that monitor within your mirror, whether you need it brighter or dimmer, that sort of thing.
Of course, they do include instructions to walk you through the installation process, make sure that everything is installed properly so it's all gonna work great for you. So that completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.

I bought this because my daughter and I had both backed the truck into the camper parked in the driveway. So far, it has worked for its purpose. It does not work as well as the factory setup in my Ford Escape. The main problem is seeing the image in the rear view mirror when the sun is bright. I also need to put on my reading glasses to see the image clearly (if I could drive with the seat back another 3 inches I would be fine). The auto-dim feature of the mirror works great.
After the initial install, I moved the camera from over top of the license plate to the bottom of the bumper beside of the hitch receiver, having cut a notch in some of the plastic trim so it would not block the view. That was a huge improvement.
When installing on a mid 2000s Ford Superduty, there are some good videos online for removal of the A-pillar trim and grab handle. There is a wire under the dash related to PTO functionality that provides power only when the key is switched on that you can use to power the unit. Run the cable to the camera under the sill plates (these are in the bottom of the door opening) to the back of the cab before exiting to the underside of the truck. Coil the excess wire here and zip tie it. When having major engine work done, point this wire out to the mechanic in case he has to lift the cab to do the work -- there will be enough extra wire to allow him to do this without disconnecting anything.

auto dimming backup mirror works great. had a local shop install it---I'll never be without a backup camera in any car I own

Still happy with my purchase after one year. It is a quality item I installed in a 2009 Honda Pilot for which install I wrote a guide on the Pilot forums. Cheers!

One of our Technicians has about 20 years in truck aftermarket setup and thought that this rear view camera was as good as it gets. In all, the quality, installation flexibility, video quality and adjustments made this product something that we will purchase again. The compass and temperature were a bonus as well as remote control adjustments for grid lines , brightness and such. This shipped very quickly and all components are well labeled and packed. The directions are easy to follow. Our installation is mounted below a safety warning LED light so it is protected but something etrailer might think about is a surround escutcheon type thing for added protection.

This style of camera in the mirror solves a lot of location problems on the dash. A good engineered product that should outlast the vehicle its installed on. I had good service from Etrailerr and the item was delivered intact and promptly.

I have been very happy with this product. It has had no issues, however this instruction manual could use some improvement. The unit has functioned flawlessly so far.
by: Scott04/23/2019
This product works great as a backup camera and mirror but the Bluetooth audio mic/speaker quality leaves a lot to be desired. Never could get the speaker loud enough, it would play audio over the stereo and the microphone picked up a lot of background noise.
by: Rvs-77671811/24/2019
No problems. Works as advertised. I use to have a wireless camera, but that would disconnect now and then, or pick up some ones security camera when driving by. Wired connections are the way.
by: Larry S06/09/2018
Has worked every time transmission put in reverse, picture clear and accurate to proximity. Unsure if it was a problem with the onstar section of the mirror, one time lost signal on a trip, but later worked flawlessly. Defiantly will keep you out of trouble when backing up.
by: John J06/06/2019
Great choice. Works very well. My truck lacked 3 things that I had gotten used to having - compass, outdoor air temp gauge. and rear view camera. This solved them all! Takes some trial/error to get temp probe in right spot.

See what our Experts say about this Rear View Safety Backup Camera
- Rear View Safety G-Series Backup Camera for Rear View Mirror that Auto DimsWe have a version of the Rear View Safety G-Series Backup Camera System that is auto dimming as part # RVS-776718-D but the version you referenced that has the compass and temperature display part # RVS-776718-CT does not auto-dim.
view full answer... - Is There a 3rd Brake Light Camera That Connects to Ford OEM Rear View Mirror with MonitorI may have a solution for you, but there isn't a system compatible with the factory mirror in your 2013 Ford Super Duty. However, you can replace the factory mirror with the Rear View Safety G-Series Backup Camera System - Auto Dimming, # RVS-776718-D and it will give you the same basic functionality. Although this doesn't plug into your factory system, you will still have the auto-dimming available to you; the downside to this is that you would need to run all new wiring. One thing I really...
view full answer... - Rear View Backup Camera Compatible With Ford Rear View Mirror PlugsUnfortunately, there isn't a system compatible with the factory auto dimming mirror from Ford. You can replace the factory mirror, but the wiring will still require running wires and you will unfortunately lose the factory functionality in order to upgrade. The system I recommend is the Rear View Safety G-Series Backup Camera System - Auto Dimming, # RVS-776718-D. Although this doesn't plug into your factory system, you will still have the auto-dimming available to you.

This system utilizes a slightly different camera, and is a wired system that also has a really nice auto dimming feature so you don't bet blinded by approaching vehicles if you choose to connect it to your running lights versus your reverse lights. This camera also has a night vision feature. If you want the...
view full answer... - Recommended Brake Controller And Back Up Camera For A 1997 GMC K3500To install a brake controller on your 1997 GMC K3500 you'll first need to install a 4-way wiring harness. If you don't already have one then I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118315. From there you can install a 7-way with the # ETBC7 to transfer your brake signal to your trailer. Once you have your wiring all in place you can then install a brake controller. I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller - Proportional # RED24FR....

The wire would be long enough to make it to the rear of your vehicle.
view full answer... - Recommended Backup Camera Options for a 1996 Chevy C/K Series PickupI have a few different recommendation for you to choose from depending on what you are looking for in a backup camera system. A great camera system that replaces your license plate mounting bracket is the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System # HM50002. This was created with hooking up to bumper pull trailers and has a very easy installation. A system that gives you a little more flexibility in its use is the Rear View Safety Wireless Hitch Camera # RVS-83112. This...
