Haloview MC5111 5'' 720P HD Digital Wireless Backup Camera System 5'' LCD Rear View Monitor and IP69K Waterproof Reversing Built in DVR Kit for Trucks/Trailer/Bus/RVs/Pickups/Camper/Vans

The media could not be loaded. The MC5111 works very well, and I would recommend it for those who want a quality system. I have one camera installed on the pickup rear plate, and another on the back of the 29' travel trailer. My observations:- the cameras are housed in sealed metal cases, with several IR LEDs to enhance night vision. Build quality is excellent.- this set's camera comes with a handy license plate bracket which works well. Mine was an easy install, after proper wiring - there's a shorter antenna included that may be needed to keep out of the way of a pickup tailgate.- the daytime picture is excellent, good update rate and good resolution. the nighttime picture is actually pretty good, better than expected, not as good as daylight, but more than adequate for passing/backing maneuvers- the display is 5" and is near perfect in size. While the alternative 7" display is great, it fits better in a full size pickup or motorhome, while the 5" fits most everything, including my mid-size.- the camera has a microphone, which works for low speed backing (to hear your partner say "more left, keep going and then, of course, STOP!!!!) but the volume has to be turned off for highway use.- the display has a good suction cup mount (hasn't fallen yet) that can mount on the bottom or the back of the 5" display. also has a bracket mount that can be positioned bottom, back or top.- display brightness is very good, and adjustable. At night, I do have to adjust the brightness down at night, and up in the day (add that to the nice-to-have's for the future, but minor nuisance not a show-stopper)- Rain can obscure the picture, if the airflow forces rain on the lens. The camera with this set doesnt have a rain shield. Would be great if it had a rain shield, but this is not a big issue for me.- Wireless range is very good. Camera at license plate has no issues, camera that is 40 feet back has a slightly lower refresh rate. I'm at the edge of range, and would recommend the remote antenna for anyone with a 28 foot or larger trailer. But even that poses no issue at all for driving, rearview and backing.- the video recorder works, and I like having that run in continuous loop, so if anything happens, i've got it on tape.Have put 2500+ miles on the Haloview, so far, so good!(the video shows a snippet of actual use. the still picture quality is better than the still indicates - blame the moire on the cheap camera phone.)

I just installed a Haloview wireless camera and monitor with a Haloview Furrion adaptor. The adaptor is not really necessary, but it makes the installation look better. I did a separate review of the adaptor. I gave it only 3 stars.Obviously this is much less expensive than the Furrion unit. Plus its completely plug and play with the Furrion wires already on your trailer. If you don't use the Haloview adaptor the Haloview kit comes with everything you need to simply screw it onto the outside of the Furion cover or directly to the trailer. You would need to drill a hole into the Furion cover for the wires to enter.I would caution that the screws that both Furion and Haloview provide are tiny. I also found that the screws were over tightened on the Furrrion adaptor Grand Design installed on my trailer, so the screw holes were crushed and cracked (yet another example of poor RV workmanship). So I applied black exterior caulk to all the screws and seams to ensure it was sealed.At the monitor end I got three bars of signal strength in the cab of my pickup. The 5 inch monitor is clear and detailed. The microphone on the camera is better than I expected. I could hear my wife and kid converse in the back yard quite clearly. Not sure how it would do in a windy or noisy enviroment. I wasn't that impressed with the monitor mounting hardware as it was cheap plastic with small screws and nuts. This seems to be a endemic fault with Chinese made electronics these days. It's to be expected and since I decided to ditch the Holoview monitor mounting hardware I didn't take off any stars on my rating. If mounting hardware had been important to me, it would have cost this thing one star in my rating. Instead I used two of my wife's hairbands to hold the monitor to the (useless when towing) rear view mirror. Ruibber bands would also work. When I am not towing the monitor, hairbands and wireing gets tossed into the center console box. The monitor has adaptors and wiring that can be hardwired into the towing vehicle as well as the usual cigarette lighter style plug, which I used.The wiring on my trailer turns the camera on whenever the driving / headlights lights are turned on. Obviously the power comes off the upper driving lights located just above the Furrion mount. Lights on, camera on.This Haloview was about half the cost of the Furrion system, and for that you get a great camera and monitor that will fits. Where Haloview comes up short is on the quality of the monitor mounting hardware for inside the tow vehicle. It would work, but its all plastic and probably won't last. Mounting the monitor to the existing center rear view mirror was a great idea I saw on U-tube and it takes advantage of the fact that when you are towing a big travel trailer all you see is travel trailer in that mirror.

This unit took all of 5 mins to install and test function on our Keystone travel trailer. The video quality is fantastic, and the quality of the unit exceeded our expectations.

I found this MC5111 product to be well designed and sturdy. I wanted something that would work with the Furrion camera mount on my trailer and this model is cheaper than the Furrion but has higher resolution images and an image reversal feature which the Furrion I looked at did not. I saw on the Haloview website that it is possible to remove the Furrion camera mount and mount this camera directly onto the rubber gasket. So at first I ordered only the MC5111 system and was happy to find it included an adapter to connect directly to my Furrion power cable plug. I started to mount the camera but realized that there would be a lot of wire and connectors sticking out which would not look very good, plus there was no rain shield for the camera. So then I ordered the B-F02 Furrion adapter bracket (from Haloview but sold on Amazon). This worked great - see the photo. It was a bit tricky getting all the wires and connected stuffed into the hollow back of the camera mount but I made it work. And the camera is tight against the mount to that keeps the rain out. I also noticed there was a hole where the Furrion antenna would have gone so I plugged that with some foam rubber and sealed the top with black electrical tape. By the way, if you need to know, the power plug on the camera is center-positive - I could not find this anywhere in the user manual or website but I measured it. And I learned that you CAN adjust the angle of the camera, so even though the Furrion mount faces quite low, I was able to adjust the camera so I can see down as well as back towards traffic.As for the monitor, the suction cup worked well in my Ford Ranger but then the monitor was at an odd angle and so was the antenna, because the windshield is sloped a lot. I was going to use the bracket that was included (lots of options included with this unit) but I didn't want to drill holes into my dash. So I ordered an Amazon bean bag and that works well, with the supplied suction cup attaching to a plastic piece in the center of the bean bag. Plus this way it's easy to hide the monitor without leaving a bracket sticking up.I have a 27 foot Forest River Salem trailer with metal cladding. I was surprised to get a good signal to the truck and a very clear image. However this is when parked. I haven't had a chance to try driving yet and I would not be surprised if the video disconnects from time to time, with a metal trailer, and based on reading other reviews. So I also ordered an external antenna (Haloview A-3M) just in case. I will have to screw a steel plate to the top of the trailer so the antenna can attach to it magnetically. Although one of the video reviews on the Haloview website shows a round metal piece included with the antenna, mine did not - perhaps it's a different antenna. Although I can't put the antenna far enough forward to have line-of-sight to the monitor, if I put it on the left side of the roof perhaps the signal can reflect off the passing cars. I almost bought a WiFi camera that uses my cell phone as a monitor but from what I read the signal strength is much less so it might not work with my rig.Overall I am quite happy with the quality and with all the options included. The only reasons I did not give 5 stars is:- The user interface on the monitor is a bit tricky to use - I was often pressing the wrong buttons until I got the hang of it, and the user guide is not as clear in that area as it could be.- The suction cup gooseneck needs to be longer so the monitor can be positioned vertically without hitting the glass.- The Furrion power cable adapter was labelled "BMW connector adapter" in the user guide, which confused me, and the user guide did not explain what to use this adapter for.- The monitor connects to your cigarette lighter with a long cable (too long for my liking) but in fact you need to plug the monitor cable into an adapter cable and then into the cigarette lighter cable which means 1) there are two connectors hanging down in front of the dash, and 2) it really makes it too long - about 8 feet overall.

fantastic product. easy to install. winderful clear picture. Installed on my 19' MOHO

This camera was easy to install using the Furrion adaptor provided. Syncs up perfectly every time and is great for backing the trailer into your favorite site. There is quite a time lag when travelling using the camera to see behind you - so wouldn't recommend relying on it for that purpose. It is for this reason I have decided NOT to purchase the side light cameras that go with the system as I expect the same. I may be wrong on this because I haven't reviewed that product.

Used two years for trailer rv back up camera then it stopped working. Still trying to troubleshoot but disappointed. Replaced antennas. Still not working. NOT HAPPY
