7″ Clip-on Mirror Monitor for Caravan Camera

The CH-RVM72D is a clip-on style monitor which goes over an existing rear-view mirror and with a 7” LCD it is an excellent choice for caravan owners wanting the best quality vision from the back of their van to see the traffic behind them while driving.
The monitor is easily removable when not in use for viewing video as it has a spring loaded bracket system so by lifting from the bottom against the spring tension, it just lifts off.

As the monitor is in the normal mirror location where most drivers will glance to check rear traffic, this monitor can be used as an eMirror where a rear camera is streaming video constantly and depending on the camera being used, this can be almost the same as normal mirror vision and will feel completely natural to most drivers.
Clip-on monitors are popular for caravanning for this reason but there can be significant differences between brands and models. The CH-RVM72D has a high resolution LCD with 1024 x 600 pixels which suits the Hybrid camera range with 1080P HD video but will work with most standard definition cameras as well although cameras with 420TVL or lower may not display properly.

This monitor has 2 standard AV inputs to suit caravan and commercial type cameras with 4 pin connections and has a “trigger” input to suit a reversing camera if required which activates V2.
A reverse camera can be turned on by using the trigger with V2 input allowing automatic operation of a standard 4 pin camera.
Manual operation using the touch buttons on the screen allow the user to turn the monitor on and off and switch between V1 and V2 if required.
If using a reverse camera with RCA video connection, please order the CH-FRCAS RCA Female to 4 Pin adaptor.

If only used with a reverse camera, there is a version with silver screen which can be left in place and used as a normal mirror and the LCD will turn on only when in reverse gear.
Please note that this version is more susceptible to glare and is not suitable unless the vehicle has tinted glass, model number CH-RVMAHD72S is with the silver glass.

For use on trade bodies and utility canopies the monitor will be left on continually with power from an accessory circuit or RunSwitch so that when the vehicle starts, the monitor turns on immediately with a rear view camera providing constant vision as an e-mirror.

The recommended cameras for use with the CH-RVM72D are the Hybrid series as these have 1080P AHD video as the default and work very well with this monitor.
Most AHD cameras will be suitable and any CVBS camera will also be suitable although the camera image quality cannot be guaranteed due to the lower resolution of this video signal.
Where using this for constant rear view vision where the aim is to see traffic that is further behind than 5-10 metres it is recommended to use a 5 or 60 degree lens camera to provide better vision of the traffic behind.
The Hybrid series has several camera options with narrower lens to provide this and other cameras with 1080P HD video are also available.
All camera connections can be made using standard Chipatronic extension cables and caravan cabling systems with accessories to suit most installations.
