Speaker 1: Today, we're going to take look at the Rear View Safety G-Series Back Up Camera System.Now, this rear view safety system will give you a back up camera, which installs like a factory camera and a universal mirror with a monitor.The universal mirror will replace most existing rear view mirrors and the mirror that replaces your existing rear view mirror gives you a nice clean install and the camera's designed for surface mounting. Can fit almost any vehicle.Now, on the mirror itself, it'll give you a bright 4.3" color LCD digital display. Also offers distance grid lines for backing up reference and as you can see on here, head's adjustable to any position, uses a double ball joint.Now, the camera itself is a night vision back up camera. Again, it's surface mounted design. It's a compact design, you can see how small it is. Makes your camera virtually invisible.It does offer 170 degree, ultra wide viewing angle.
It is IP68 rated, which means it's completely weather proof camera. It has 10G vibration rating and 100G impact rating. Does also include this wireless remote.Now, this system is a two channel system, so it'll allow you to add a second camera if need be. It does include everything laid out here on the table. Includes the mirror, includes the remote, the camera, all the wiring, all the connections you need and a nice users manual on how to operate it.But that should do it for the review on the Rear View Safety G-Series Back Up Camera System..

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.
WORKS GREAT...smooth install with the helpful video on your website
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 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.
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.
Great unit. My only recamindashion would be to watch the instal video and get everthing needed to install in one ordre.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
