Jeff: Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at this rear view safety backup camera system for the Ford Econoline vans. Now, this Ford Econoline backup camera system has this nice crystal clear seven inch LED digital panel color monitor with a pixel resolution of 800 by 480. And it uses distance grid lines that are optional and adjustable. Does offer a mirror image capability and auto-dimming feature.
Does have built in speakers. And its menu can be navigated with these back lit on-dash buttons or with the included wireless remote.If you notice, I got it attached to the universal adjustable mount here, basically this will let you adjust it to whatever position you need. Just loosen it, and it'll let it go up or down, and you can even tilt it whichever way you want. Also, does come with the seven foot long monitor cable. Now the camera itself right here, as you can see, it's very small.
It's a 2.1 millimeter color CCD camera that stands for compact cube design. It's built with a nice heavy duty zinc metal, and a compact size of less than one inch in length, width, and depth. You can see it's a very small camera.Does have a viewing angle of 170 degrees. Does use infrared lights to supply night vision. Allows you to see up to 50 feet in the darkest night.
And the camera itself is completely weatherproof with an IP68K rating. It's very strong, reliable, shock-resistant, has a 10G vibration rating. And it does come with this included 66 foot long extension cable for the camera. Now the brains of the system right here is this three channel multiplexer with an automatic system switch. This will power and receive the camera feeds and send them to your monitor.It does have three inputs which will allow for two additional cameras besides the one that's included.
Does also include this five pin female to RC female adapter, and the power harness for running the power to it. All these features use the nice aircraft grade cable connections, and it does include all the wires, connectors, mounts, mounting hardware you need. Even gives you this nice detailed operators manual.Last thing I want to measure for you. Now, if you notice this monitors have a nice sunshade installed on it. If you don't want that, you can pop it off. Wanted to give you some dimensions on this. The width of the monitor again is seven inches. Overall height is right at 5-1/4 inches, and the depth not including this sunshade is only about 3/4 of an inch deep. But that should do it for the review on this rear view safety backup camera system for the Ford Econoline vans.

Great system, installed this for one of my customers
Product and pricing excellence is what etrailer is all about. They bakc it all up with great customer support. thanks etrailer.
Exactly what I needed for our venerable 2003 Jayco travel trailer. 3D printed a very neat unit that holds the display and fits into a “sunglasses pocket” on the top of the dashboard of our Chevy Colorado pickup.
Haven’t used the camera system yet but it was fast on delivery. The cameras and components look like they are made very well. Customer service dept. works well for the consumer. Thanks and I will give a review when installed.
Quick shipping, easy order process, ordered the same product from another vendor who promised next day delivery and did not hold up to their end. Do not order from Truckid or Carid. Product fits perfectly in Isuzu. Will order again.
Thanks
I have done business with etrailer for over 5 years. In every case I have found their pricing to be fair and their customer service to be excellent.
Gives be great visibly on both sides and blind spots. Used the rear camera to watch my TOAD.
Recieved my etrailer order yesterday. Received it very quickly, I ordered two items,
a back-up camera system and sensor set-up. Very pleases with what I have seen of it. Will install it this weekend, can't wait.
Everything we have purchased has been great!We are very happy with everything.The Sterling towbar,the rear camera are all working great as we start a new adventure.Thank you!
superior upgrade for us. would have been 5 star but the installation and usage instructions are almost worthless. 8^)
Still going strong. Great picture quality. I would recommend this if you are looking for and backup camera. Etrailer is a good company to buy from with excellent customer followup on you satisfaction.
I bought a two camera setup, works great! One camera on the 5th wheel hitch, and one on the rear of the trailer. The camera on the trailer is setup to be on all the time I am driving. It really helps for backing up, but it is even better on the road. You can see cars coming up on the trailer and see if they are going to pass.
This system failed after a few months and then neither the manufacturer or etrailer would stand behind the product. This is not a quality product.
This 2 camera system gives me a full view of the road behind me as well as providing a closeup look at my toad. The backup guide-lines let me drive my 33' Southwind backwards with a trailer without any problem whatsoever.....and I can easily switch between the full-road or close-up modes to check on my trailer/toad when going through dicey road conditions.
Very easy to hook up.....wire your power supply line and plug in the rest.
This is an awesome camera setup. I installed this on a 2012 Chevy Express cargo van. I mounted the camera to the top of the 3rd brake light cover and drilled a 3/4" hole to hold the included rubber grommet for the camera wiring. The wiring was simple, I found a fuse that is tied into the ignition switch and used a fuse tap to supply the minimal amps needed. I wired it so the camera is on whenever the vehicle is running, to act as the rear view mirror since the van has no rear windows. This is a high-quality kit and I am very happy with it.
It is not clear how to install the U shaped bracket with the monitor. One picture in the manual shows thumbscrews, maybe nuts too (not a great picture), and it appears to be mounting to the sunshade I believe. There are no holes in the sun shade, and no nuts for the thumbscrews.
There are 4 holes in the back of the monitor, 2 on each side that look like they would be for mounting, but no brackets or screws to fit those.
