@@graywolftravels1025 Yes, look at this point in the video ua-cam.com/video/hf9eQiMLiCA/v-deo.html That is live footage of what is happening behind my trailer as I drive. There is a slight bit of latency (delay) since it's a wireless signal, but it's not too bad. Love it for rear-monitoring the traffic behind me. Cheers, Ray
This company seems to be interested in constantly improving the product. They often ask me for advice on things and to test new products as they are based in Asia and sell a lot to the world market; in many countries, the RVs are a little different than in North America. I can help them with the differences. Overall, the stuff has worked well for me, but any issues they seem willing to work on and address. Cheers, Ray
@@LoveYourRV I’m a solo RV’er and really appreciate having these cameras set up! I have a 35’ toy hauler, and being able to hear and see all around is so helpful when moving lanes! Glad to hear they listen to your feedback!
I don't know about Arizona. People don't even wear motorcycle helmets here and walk around with guns strapped to their hips. :) If I have window mount things, I put them low enough that they are below the hood line so they don't impede the view. If they still want to ticket me so be it. :) But I doubt the police will have a problem with it if it's being used as a rear-view monitor when towing and not in the way.
Ray, you have small side cameras on your truck quarter panels at one point and they were hard wired. Do you know if there are similar cameras that are wireless? I’m wondering if there is a system where the camera and transmitter are separate pieces.
Those cameras were part of a dash cam system www.loveyourrv.com/thinkware-x800-dash-cam-multi-camera-side-and-rear-installation/ I don't know of any that are wireless for dashcams but could be. Haloview, Furrion, and others sell wireless side cameras for some of the multi-cam systems for side monitoring. Generally, they mount where the side marker lights are on a motorhome or trailer.
No, this system uses its own proprietary camera wireless signal for less interference, range, and low latency. It can only connect to its own compatible displays. The recorded footage can be taken off the micro SD card though and played on a computer.
Yes, you can do that but it does make using the touchscreen settings a little more difficult as its upside down and the antennas stick down.. I mirror mounted it right side up in this update. Wasn't too bad. ua-cam.com/video/uoODwWb3iXo/v-deo.html Cheers, Ray
@LoveYourRV I was wondering also, have you still got some type of side camera or detection system? I saw an older video of one you had been using, but no update.
I still have the radar sensors installed, here was the update ua-cam.com/video/_idrDMypUVI/v-deo.html They work well but if they weren't free to me I doubt I'd get them, my big Ram 3500 towing mirrors stick out so far I have no blind spots down the sides except for the rear of the trailer and the camera covers that.
No, they only work with the Haloview displays. Bluetooth wouldn't have the range and WiFi would be too laggy. I think they use a radio wireless signa; like cordless phones use.
Do you know if cameras from previous models can be paired to it? I have 2 of the MC 7108 model. Would consider this new device if my current cameras will pair
As I understand it, the newer Byte Tango system-compatible cameras use a revamped, improved wireless signal and are 1080P. So this Byte Tango display doesn't work with the previous 720P cameras. The compatible cameras have BTC in the model number.
The price difference between the 3 camera BT7 Plus vs Touch Plus is about $100. Is it worth the extra $100? My guess is having dedicated buttons can be faster to reach menu choices than having to "touch" through the menu system. Thx!
I find the touchscreen faster and display more compact. With the dedicated buttons, you have to keep pushing a button to scroll through the options. See here ua-cam.com/video/lJpAeAc_AbE/v-deo.html The touchscreen version also has the shortcut menu.
Great, doesn't draw much power at all, maybe an amp or two. The camera uses the RV battery and the display uses the trucks. Both get recharged as we tow.
The manufacturer shows in the stock for sale but won't ship till Feb 17th. www.haloview.com/byte-tango-bt7-touch-1080p-wireless-backup-camera-system-with-touch-screen.html?acc=413 It's the Chinese New Year holiday, Spring Festival, a big holiday time, and workers usually get a week off; they are based in Hong Kong, so they should be back to ship after the holiday. It usually takes a month or two to get stocked on Amazon for new products like this.
I'm not sure, as I don't wear sunglasses; I'll have to see if my wife's are polarized or check with one of her camera filters. Will let you know. Cheers, Ray
It's not compatible with all Haloview cameras. They have to be the newer Byte Tango compatible 1080P, not the older 720P that they sold for many years, and I don't believe the display only is available yet.
I see that they sell the button version available as a stand-alone option www.haloview.com/bt-m7-byte-tango-monitor.html. So maybe the touch will be available in the future. I imagine they are still figuring out production numbers based on demand. Cheers, Ray

Thanks Ray how is married life treating you
Seems about the same except I have a ring. :)
I have last year’s version and love it, and added the side marker cameras. That new touchscreen display looks like a better design and size!

Looks like a great cam system Ray - Thanks! - Cheers!
I guess you'll be heading north sometime soon!
We have to be back by the 1st of May, so we have a couple months to meander northward. :)
Well done…thanks
Nice update review. Doesn't AZ have a law against sticking devices on the windshield?

My rearview camera/ screen is almost useless. The detail is very poor. This looks much better.

Hi Ray, love your show. Is there a way to connect to an external monitor such as my HD tv? Thanks, Ray
No, this system uses its own proprietary camera wireless signal for less interference, range, and low latency. It can only connect to its own compatible displays. The recorded footage can be taken off the micro SD card though and played on a computer.
Hey Ray, if you use the upside down mode on the screen, would that move the antennae out of the way?
Yes, you can do that but it does make using the touchscreen settings a little more difficult as its upside down and the antennas stick down.. I mirror mounted it right side up in this update. Wasn't too bad. ua-cam.com/video/uoODwWb3iXo/v-deo.html Cheers, Ray

I was looking for a system like this. I plan on using Navionix w my tablet for navigating. Will these cameras interface w tablets?
No, they only work with the Haloview displays. Bluetooth wouldn't have the range and WiFi would be too laggy. I think they use a radio wireless signa; like cordless phones use.

The touch screen experience is much better than buttons.
Hi, whats the bttery life like. thanks.
Great, doesn't draw much power at all, maybe an amp or two. The camera uses the RV battery and the display uses the trucks. Both get recharged as we tow.
Not available any where, even the manufacturer is not listing it for sale ...... what's the point?

I see it is now in stock on the Haloviwe website and also currently available on Amazon USA - amzn.to/4cdT37Q
Is the display viewable with polarized sunglasses?
I'm not sure, as I don't wear sunglasses; I'll have to see if my wife's are polarized or check with one of her camera filters. Will let you know. Cheers, Ray
We don't have any sunglasses handy, but Anne tried several of her different tinted polarized camera lenses, and the display looked fine. Cheers, Ray
thank you Ray for the follow and great review@@LoveYourRV
Can you just upgrade the screen and use your old cameras?
It's not compatible with all Haloview cameras. They have to be the newer Byte Tango compatible 1080P, not the older 720P that they sold for many years, and I don't believe the display only is available yet.
@@LoveYourRV thank you. I have the 1080P cameras with the BT7 4 camera system.

Terrible cameras poor customer support they are not worth buying
