I have this system and I put a 7 pin female plug in front of Rv and connected just the brown wire to + and white to - to the plug, put a switch on the + line to bedroom, put the monitor in there, plugged in the Rv power cord in to the plug I installed, now I have a great security system with night vision
I think you installed the side markers reversed. If the antenna was going up then the hole would be facing down to drain moisture. But I could be wrong. Nice review.
There are holes on both the top and bottom. A design flaw in my opinion as windy rain and spray from the truck tires on wet roads is going to get forced inside the fixture from above or below. The OEM lenses don't have drain holes. See the comparison - www.loveyourrv.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/OEM-verus-Haloview-scaled.jpg Water may find its way inside the RV sidewall and lead to rot, fiberglass delaminating or mold. So I feel it best to seal the holes. I gather the idea of the holes from talking to Haloview was to provide option for wiring outside the lens. Cheers, Ray
I really like the side marker light camera since it helps me a great deal when we drive up to a gas pump. Since we pull a toad that we can’t back up if I don’t line up just right.
Hello again it's been a while since I made a comment but I have been checking in every once in a while to stay up to date on you folks. It seems you are doing fairly well dealing with all that is going on with the world right now, I'm glad to see! Sorry to hear you won't be traveling south this year but I kind of expected it would be a problem. This camera system looks like it might be a keeper. Waiting to see your comments after using it a bit. Just a note though when you were cleaning that putty off for the install. I'm not sure how it will work on it but I have found that WD 40 is a good cleaner for many things. Takes glue and price stickers off, it works great for an emergency hand cleaner with grease and tons of other uses for so many things as well as a lube. Just a hint you may find handy some time. LOL I use it for the other stuff more than as a lubricant to be honest. Take care of yourselves and stay warm this winter. As always a faithful follower John
Ray, If you get anymore camera’s, you are going to have to apply for a FCC license when you get in the US again, that is if they every open the border! Thank you again for all the wonderful videos you put together. The Road Runner from central California. (I am locked down too)
I look forward to seeing you and your RV hip deep in snow come January. You'll probably get more views. Since your stuck in "Aca Nada" ... more views and subscribers. Congrats!
Typically, I believe that little hole in the lens cover is oriented DOWN so any moisture will drain out. Not sure if that's the case with those or not? Thanks!

Ray, another superb video sir! Are you able to name the cameras? The wiring harness is for turning on the cameras when the turn signal is on so when that is active does that camera dominate the screen? Could you have 1/2 side camera and 1/2 rear camera? Very interesting and the record feature is very intriguing!
Don't see anyway to name the cams. Yes the different wires trigger different cameras and you can set up the screen to view the different combos of cameras. Here is an owners manual for one of the systems that explains it - www.haloview.com/pdf/Haloview_RD7_User_Manual.pdf Cheers, Ray
I think the weep hole in side markers should be facing down. That would result in antennas being up. But with condensation being unavoidable it’s important to have the hole down.
There are holes on both the top and bottom. A design flaw in my opinion as the rain and spray from the truck tires on wet roads is going to get inside the fixture from above or below. The OEM lenses don't have drain holes and don't get condensation. I guess enough air gets in around the cover.
Great review Ray. Disappointing that I can't find the 720p RD7 model with 3 cameras (is it called the RD7 Plus?) anywhere to buy here in Canada (Ontario). Not sure if that is because of Covid.
Hello! Great product. We are very new to camping and I was wondering the year , make and model of yours? We have a 2002 Keystone Cougar that was willed to us when my wife’s father passed 3 months ago. It seems to be I great shape and looks identical to yours.
Ours is a 2011 Model 276RLS which means rear living room as apposed to a rear kitchen model and the WE means it was made in the west coast plant in Oregon as apposed to Indiana. Cheers! Ray
I think you may have the side markers backwards. The one you say has a hole at the top may be for the other side and would be flipped, so the hole is actually a drain fir condensation. Better check the other side.

Please reconsider your use of silicon adhesives. Silicon does not stick to itself, so unless you use acetone to clean the surface, the old and new layers of silicon will NOT self adhere... aka leaks. Great coverage of an interesting topic othewise.
I generally use Geocel RV Proflex sealant not silicone to replace the OEM silicone or in some applications SikaFlex 291 as they work well, last long, and are easy to come by. www.geocelusa.com/product/pro-flex-rv-flexible-sealant/ "Resealable; may be applied over itself" I always make sure to fully clean the surface of the old sealant., I find lighter fluid works well. Acetone does too but you have to watch it around plastics. In the case of these fixtures, they have their own rubber gaskets so no need to use a sealant around them. Cheers, Ray
It didn't do a great job as there was lots of water inside the lens after the big rain we had. There are holes on both the top and bottom. A design flaw in my opinion as the rain and spray from the truck tires on wet roads is going to get inside the fixture.
@@LoveYourRV I had to replace one of the bigger 8" diameter scare lites a couple of years ago. It had 1 hole and was installed with the hole at the top. The inside was rusted with a high tide mark of rust. So I got a stainless version and installed it hole down. I'd fill the top holes I prefer Dicor over silicone and also use the putty roll to bed things to the trailer side. There is a plastic bodyshop tool which would get off the silicone. I have xtras, I could mail you one.. I have the red and silver slim jims but don't use them on fibreglass.. I'd round off the corners to prevent accidentally gouging the glass. Also will watch the vid re skirting. I'm planning to use the old 47" white slidetopper material. Seems thicker than EZ Snaps. Will use finishing washers and screws in the trailer lateral ine and the Velcro in other locations. The 47" allows me to angle out the fabric over the water tap and sewer dump. To keep thing from freezing, I'll use a couple of pieces of re bar or metal pipe/tubing and wrap them with heat tape with the built in thermometer/ switch. The switch will be jus outside the skirting. Both will be blocked up a few inches.off the ground. Circulation will be done by 4 usb fans from Castle Building supplies. 2 on the left rear and 2 at the right front to prevent stalling.. Cost so far is about 200$ nic pipe, fans andheat tape. My water hose is already heated.
I have the 4 camera HaloView system and have been very pleased with it. I strapped my monitor on to my ram rear view mirror - before they came out with that strap system you have. One comment I have is that at night I wish the menu buttons would stay illuminated. Do you know if you can use more than four cameras?
I like it! Ok, so when you have it set up as a security camera, do you have to do anything to the 7 pin connector to get the power to the marker lights, or does it work kn it's own? Forgive my ignorance.
The porch light works off the regular porch light power. If I wanted the other cameras on when unhooked from the truck I need to put a fuse between two pins on the 7 pin cable to connect the 12V RV power to the marker lights - i.pinimg.com/originals/53/f6/6f/53f66f219d6102ba441211162db44a34.jpg I think they may sell a gadget that plugs onto the end as well with a switch.
Are the side cameras handed? If you mounted them on the opposite side would that not put the little hole on the amber lens on the bottom instead of the top?
They do have an R and L on them but there are identical holes on the top and bottom. Also, even on the bottom I'd be concerned about the road spray off the truck tires driving water into it. Seems like a design problem to me. Cheers, Ray
Has the same hole on the top and bottom. I told Haloview about it and waiting to see what they say, maybe I'm missing something. But we had heavy rain and the inside of the lens was wet and fogged up that's when I noticed it.
I would understand a drain hole at the bottom for condensation or rain, but not at the top. Since you flipped it over seems like top side should be closed off and bottom left open??
The OEM have no holes. I'd expect that would be the best way to go as when traveling in the rain the truck tires kick up a constant spray of water and road grime. Easy to fix though with a little rubber plug or some silicone rubber.
@@1951Roy Talked to Haloview and explained the issue and my rep talked to the engineers. I told them that water could be forced into the hole even from below when driving on wet roadways with the tire spray, plus maybe heavy windy rain. I gather from them the holes are there as an option to use external wires and they agree with me that it would be best to seal the fixture and glad that I pointed it out, though in a year they haven't heard of any problems reported. Here is a pic I took comparing the Haloview with my OEM fixture, you can see it provides a path for water to get into the RV sidewall - www.loveyourrv.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/OEM-verus-Haloview-scaled.jpg The water could lead to rot or mold or maybe even delamination of the fiberglass.

Hi Ray, Do you have a unique discount referral code to order directly from Haloview? Your full kit is not on Amazon. We are going to try it as well. Thanks. Safe Travels and Happy Trails.
As far as I know they don't have discount codes, at least I have never been offered them, this is a brand new release that's why it hasn't hit Amazon yet, usually after some time has past it ends up on the Amazon store. Cheers, Ray
@@LoveYourRV Thank you Ray. I will give them a call directly. Maybe put a little pressure for a "Love Your RV" code. If they say they will be adding to the Amazon Store, we will wait to use your store link. Stay Safe and enjoy the short trips at home. Hope the border opens soon. Safe Travels and Happy Trails.
Hey Ray -I may have missed the answer but if you take the monitor inside at night and use it to watch the security camera over the steps, how do you power it?
Yes, I do that, let the display run and record night footage or when I'm away from the rig. It needs to be powered on to record, the camera can be plugged into the RV 12V power via a cigarette lighter socket, I have a couple in my RV or any other DC plug one wants to install or maybe use one of those 12V power boxes like a Jackery, the display draws very little wattage. You can see in the video here how I had my previous DIY setup - www.loveyourrv.com/diy-rv-security-camera-using-haloview-wireless-backup-camera/ Cheers, Ray
This particular kit does as the camera has no antenna itself, but there are many variants to chose from www.haloview.com/products/wireless-backup-camera-systems.html/?acc=413 like this kit that comes without the range dominator - www.haloview.com/haloview-mc7109r-ultimate-7-720p-hd-digital-wireless-rear-view-camera-system.html/?acc=413 On my install I elected to not use the 12M cord and just attached the repeater box with the antenna to make it work.
Thanks. That confirms what I thought and I would install the same way however I don’t need an extender for my current trailer just deciding if it’s worth having the option for a later trailer. These are cheap enough I’m leaning mc7109 for now.
Maybe best to see if you actually needed it for a later trailer. Another option is the extender antenna - ua-cam.com/video/24JRT01ngSI/v-deo.html It worked pretty well in my test.
Love Your RV oh that’s different from the range dominator? Well that’s perfect then yes I’d just buy that if I needed it. That one has a battery vs 12v power?
Yeah, seems like a no brainer, maybe I just don't know the right buttons to push, but I couldn't seem to get it to record anything but a single screen.
@@LoveYourRV its either they don't know what the consumer wants or they just want to slowly leak out technological advancement to sell more product over time. They are priced high enough they should have no video delay and be able to record all channels. My swann home system is 12v and has features that are amazing quite frankly
The only difference is your house doesn't roll down the road at freeway speeds. I think that's why the Haloview is still using 720P resolution to keep the file size down for wireless transfer. Motion makes a big difference as a lot less video compression can take place since each frame of the video has new pixels to deal with versus home security that basically has the same image and just the person or object to update.
While our Haloview can record 4 cameras at the same time, you just couldn't record the quad screen. That means when you record in quad mode, the videos of the 4 cameras will be recorded separately. Haloview guys told me that the images is compressed when in quad mode, the video files be stored into every single file according to each camera.
Details? How about they advertise 1080, except it doesn't record in 1080 if you have all 4 cameras recording, the actual recording is more like 480. It WILL Not loop record, the memory card has to be reformatted to be able to record over it, which means you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA when it stops recording wile you're driving. This thing is ONLY good for a backup camera (not recording) and thats it. You email their customer service about it and they want your order number the date and time you ordered it and your name before they can even answer simple questions. I told them it was not recording and they actually wanted me to send them video of it NOT recording.......how exactly do you do that? I think people would take your channel "more seriously" if you would give an actual decent review without being so condescending.
@@skyeram For this model system, they advertise 720P, which you get for recording on one camera. It is true that when recording multiple cameras the resolution drops quite a bit. I noted that in my review video I did after using the system for a while. ua-cam.com/video/Lt8Va_FcvCM/v-deo.html There is now an updated model called the Byte Tango BT7 that can do multiple 1080P recordings at the same time. As far as loop recording. It does do it. Look for a setting in the menus called "Cover" and turn it on.

Motion makes a big difference as a lot less video compression can take place since each frame of the video has new pixels to deal with versus home security that basically has the same image and just the person or object to update.
While our Haloview can record 4 cameras at the same time, you just couldn't record the quad screen. That means when you record in quad mode, the videos of the 4 cameras will be recorded separately. Haloview guys told me that the images is compressed when in quad mode, the video files be stored into every single file according to each camera.
You can record up to 4 cameras at the same time in quad mode, but you can't record quad screen that 4 cameras shows in one screen.
:-)))) :-))))
The camera system is total trash, don't waste your money.
I think people including me would take your comment more seriously if you could provide some details as to why?
Details?
How about they advertise 1080, except it doesn't record in 1080 if you have all 4 cameras recording, the actual recording is more like 480.
It WILL Not loop record, the memory card has to be reformatted to be able to record over it, which means you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA when it stops recording wile you're driving.
This thing is ONLY good for a backup camera (not recording) and thats it.
You email their customer service about it and they want your order number the date and time you ordered it and your name before they can even answer simple questions.
I told them it was not recording and they actually wanted me to send them video of it NOT recording.......how exactly do you do that?
I think people would take your channel "more seriously" if you would give an actual decent review without being so condescending.
@@skyeram For this model system, they advertise 720P, which you get for recording on one camera. It is true that when recording multiple cameras the resolution drops quite a bit. I noted that in my review video I did after using the system for a while. ua-cam.com/video/Lt8Va_FcvCM/v-deo.html There is now an updated model called the Byte Tango BT7 that can do multiple 1080P recordings at the same time. As far as loop recording. It does do it. Look for a setting in the menus called "Cover" and turn it on.
