Hi Paul, You are a star mate. That video explained it all to me perfectly. Far far better than the book. As you said just a straight forward ruff video but explains it all. Many thanks again Duncan.
I had the Whistler solar backup camera that I purchased from Walmart approximately 4 years ago and it recently stopped working. Instead of replacing with the same brand, I purchased the Audio Vox reverse solar camera instead and I like the picture quality very much and the push button feature on the DC adapter very much as well.
Hi there ! Will recommend this product since got it delivered this AM ! Works beautifully on my car ! Ordered one 3 months ago quit on me after 3 months but Auto-vox back up their products and sent me an updated version awesome man !
Great video,I have a camera on the back of my car,Could you fit the one your reviewing on the front of your car,As my car is quite large and it’s a pain to get within the white lines at supermarkets etc,Thanks.
How easy is that adhesive strip to remove? Want to get this for my work van, but currently using a rental and don’t want to purchase if I can’t remove and put it on a different vehicle in the future
Great video! Any insights on how safe this device is in hot summers ? I'm a bit concerned about the lithium ion battery catching fire in extreme temperatures ?
@@sameers2699 I cover my screen up in the strong sunlight,I enclose it in a white microfibre cloth completely,Then take it off at night,Otherwise the screen casing gets very warm,The camera on the number plate is fine in direct strong sun.
no no, its not connected to the reverse lights, there is a timer on it, and u=you can hit the button on the plug that tuns on the screen. so you can have it on any time you wish
Hey Paul, it has been a year since you posted this video. How has it performed after one full year of use? Any regrets? Would you still recommend it for an old Bloke like me?? I am tired of backing up into the trash cans in my 2008 Hyundai!!!
Not sure about how far, i have done another review on another one with massive range take a look at my videos.. ua-cam.com/video/M9AMhbNqi0A/v-deo.html
Can i use this for front camera for parking assist as i dont have sensors in front of the car? How easy would it be to be nicked if left mounted on the number plate though hmmm
How long does the solar camera hold the charge? Have you ever had an instance where you needed to remove the solar camera and charge it with USB cable? how much lag between the solar camera and display while driving does it impact real time accuracy? Is there a way to get rid of the autovox logo displayed on startup?
Hi Paul, is it possible to have the camera on permanently while driving ? Towing a motorbike trailer and would like to keep an eye on things !!! Maybe it would drain the battery too much. cheers Paul
I had mine for about 4 months and it doesn't pair up with the camera anymore. I bought a replacement camera from Auto Vox and it still doesn't pair up. Cant work out what the issue is. Ive fully charged the camera before trying. Any suggestions are very welcome.

I might need to get one of these. My Fiat 500e doesn't have a backup camera but I'd love to have one, sadly it's not my car (it's on a Motability lease) so I'm not allowed to make permanent modifications to it (including drilling)
I have a Volkswagen beetle 2015 and for where my license plate is mounted there’s almost no room above the plate so my question is does this device fit on top of the plate all the way down and not protrude above the plate? If it does protrude above the plate, how much in inches? Thank you I would like to buy this, but if it’s not gonna fit, then I would be wasting my money and I am terrible with returning things. And I do have a Jackery battery
Not sure I would ever mount one of these as shown on a UK number plate because it partially obscures it and that is an instant invite for Police/DVSA to invite you for a vehicle check.
Great Review ... One Question ! If you have a Van with twin rear doors , and your number plate is fixed to one door ,thus the numberplate is offset ! is there a facility on the camera to view the rear image in a centralised manner (can you shift the viewing angle to compensate for an offset mounting position )? Thanks
You made something simple very complicated showing all of different cameras and power sources. Please stick to what you are reviewing, it will make things simpler to understand.
Désolé, je ne recommande pas ce produit trop visible au niveau de la plaque qui ne détecte pas les côtés les lignes jaunes et rouge pas précise du tout quand vous stationné aucun bip sonore l'image est bonne, mais pour moi l'achat est presque inutile seul avantage détecte l'angle mort à l'avant du véhicule surtout en montée.

Great video,I have a camera on the back of my car,Could you fit the one your reviewing on the front of your car,As my car is quite large and it’s a pain to get within the white lines at supermarkets etc,Thanks.
i have it on the side on my van to see how close to the kerb i am when parking
@paulcomptonpdphotography So that’s a yes Paul,Thanks.

I got one Paul,Fitted to the front top number plate,I tightened the hex screw slightly,It still feels wobbly once on the number plate,but seems ok.
as long as it dose not fall off does it work well
Could you please let me know what it’s like at night? As in does it show a clear picture. Great review thanks
Yes it does its not bad at all
@ thank you ☺️
Welcome
How easy is that adhesive strip to remove? Want to get this for my work van, but currently using a rental and don’t want to purchase if I can’t remove and put it on a different vehicle in the future
maybe best to screw it behind the plate then
Would it work just connected to cigarette lighter socket or do I need to get a portable unit? Great video
there are many, see my other channel ua-cam.com/users/VanlifePhotographyGear
Great video! Any insights on how safe this device is in hot summers ? I'm a bit concerned about the lithium ion battery catching fire in extreme temperatures ?
been on side of my van all last summer

Very good tip this!! Thanks for shering!!
Interesting bit of kit Paul.
easy to fit
So when it’s on and you start to back up will the screen light up and it’s ready to go? Or do you have turn it on every time ?
no no, its not connected to the reverse lights, there is a timer on it, and u=you can hit the button on the plug that tuns on the screen. so you can have it on any time you wish
you can have it on front or rear, i have it on the side of my van now
Hey Paul, it has been a year since you posted this video. How has it performed after one full year of use? Any regrets? Would you still recommend it for an old Bloke like me?? I am tired of backing up into the trash cans in my 2008 Hyundai!!!
I would yes, its works fine and it so easy to fit..
as long as it get some sunlight on it it will stay charged
Long press M in the reverse guide option to cycle through grid width
wow cool
Thanks for the video. Would it work on a boat? Is there any delay on the timing of the viewing?
i am sure it would work fine, very little to no delay as i see
Looks great! What is the range, I was wondering if this would work on a caravan?
Not sure about how far, i have done another review on another one with massive range take a look at my videos..
ua-cam.com/video/M9AMhbNqi0A/v-deo.html
How long does the camera battery last when fully charged
mine stays charges.. it only on when its running
Can i use this for front camera for parking assist as i dont have sensors in front of the car? How easy would it be to be nicked if left mounted on the number plate though hmmm
Why not, i have it on the side of the van to see where i park the side door.
Does this camera have a sound when you get to close to the object?
no
How long does the solar camera hold the charge? Have you ever had an instance where you needed to remove the solar camera and charge it with USB cable?
how much lag between the solar camera and display while driving does it impact real time accuracy?
Is there a way to get rid of the autovox logo displayed on startup?
near no lag and as yet never had to recharge it.
i have a solar 4 camera set up will the solar 1 camera pair with my monitor
I really could not say sorry
Have you tested the range on this thing? Would it work on a trailer 20 feet back?
i am not sure.. the others i showed would
Hi Paul, enjoyed the video. What was the portable power unit you were using?
search my videos for Jackery
Paul, can you remove the camera from its bracket ?
yes i think you can, but its attched to the sola
Hi Paul, is it possible to have the camera on permanently while driving ? Towing a motorbike trailer and would like to keep an eye on things !!! Maybe it would drain the battery too much. cheers Paul
No i dont this it will stay on, the longest if i remember is 2 mins but you can press the button to swtch back on
Looks good mate I need something for my VW transporter.Think I'm going to go with this product cheers .
Go for it!
I had mine for about 4 months and it doesn't pair up with the camera anymore. I bought a replacement camera from Auto Vox and it still doesn't pair up. Cant work out what the issue is. Ive fully charged the camera before trying. Any suggestions are very welcome.

This would be a great way to do that, you can keep it in the next car
@@paulcomptonpdphotography Very true!
Thanks for the in-depth review!
your welcome
I don’t see the solar, one pro that you describe online. But I do see, is this. AUTO-VOX Wireless Backup Camera for Car,. Is this the same thing?
It's for all vehicles

It slips right down
can I keep the monitor ON at all times while driving?
maybe in the settings
Not sure I would ever mount one of these as shown on a UK number plate because it partially obscures it and that is an instant invite for Police/DVSA to invite you for a vehicle check.
it does not cover the number plate, it was not fitted right in my video only temp hung it on

Not that I know of
Great video Paul!
Thanks very much.
…But it’s not foolproof….
My supplier sent me the wrong one!😖 Do’h🙄🤡🙈
Sorry to hear that
Your car is your power unit.
12v socket for display
Why my camera screen doesn't show a clear picture??
is there something wrong with yours
Did you get clearer picture in the end,
Hhmm not 100%
These people can't seem to find anything positive to say. I enjoyed the review .
haha its ok
one my friends had one these & didn't even last 2days ..... why!! ,, cause so easy to pinch yes it got ripped of the vehicle
oh

If you can't reverse a vehicle without one of these you shouldn't be driving! 😂
thats rubbish, i been driving 35years i can reverve but why not make it easier haha
Because not everyone's a smart arse like smiffy😂😂
haha
tra
Looks like it obscured the plate when attached to the top
Shame the solar panel cannot be angled
This ruined it for me
NO NO not at all, its a temp plate i uesd and it was not stuck to it..
