eRapta HD 1080p Backup Camera System Kit, 7-inch Reversing Monitor with Quad Split Recording IP69 Waterproof, Rear View Side View Cameras, Backup Camera for RV Truck/Trailer/Tractor/Box/Camper Y0202

Background: My 2008 Jayco Class C original low fidelity B/W single camera system needed a major upgrade. I used the Erapta 202 to replace the rear camera with two Erapta cameras using the original embedded cable and also added side cameras mounted on the mirrors to provide lane changing views. Some additional simple circuitry was required to get the side cameras to only trigger when changing lanes. I use them with the “standard” down the road rear view used all the time with the side and backup views triggered by turn signals or putting the coach in reverse.Product Review: The Erapta 202 is a well-built product particularly for the price. The overall system can display combinations of one to four cameras (easily selected and configured from the monitor) and also has “trigger” lines that can be used to switch cameras automatically when reversing or when turn signals are actuated (although on my vehicle and most others, you have to add some simple circuitry to make this work properly).The monitor is large enough to see clearly, color is very good and brightness is fine even for full sun daylight driving. I was able to modify my existing original monitor mount (some cutting required) to adapt to the larger and different aspect ratio Erapta monitor.Cabling is provided for all cameras; in this case I used the single original embedded 4 wire cable to provide the cable run through the vehicle to the two cameras I used on the rear (one down the road, one looking down immediately behind the vehicle). I'll add pictures as soon as I can figure out how to do that on an existing review; right now it won't allow pictures.Cameras are well built, although I did have an issue with one getting “fogged up” internal after a few months outdoors. The Erapta customer support team immediately shipped a replacement by Fedex along with the “gift” camera offered in the original package that hadn’t arrived. So kudos to the customer support team for their rapid replacement. The aspect ratio of the camera view is 16:9, so it provides good near view looking out the back, but not great long view way down the road. However, for my purposes it was a great rear-view improvement that can be left on all the time while driving.I was concerned about mounting the cameras on the side view mirrors, worried about vibration while driving. However, the cameras are rock steady across the board, so that worry was unfounded.Overall a very nice system and great upgrade. I have provided pictures and diagrams of the upgrade. You have to be reasonably handy to make this upgrade as it involves cutting cables and soldering, and some simple circuit construction and installation. Also, there is a lot of “finding” the appropriate wiring in your vehicle to connect turn signals and power to the system. Not difficult, but time consuming. Routing the cables for the turn signals also involved a bit of work, again just tedious, not difficult.I was really impressed with the capability and quality of the system and it was a tremendous upgrade for my driving safety with the coach.

ERapta Backup Camera is more than just a camera or product. When you purchase this camera, one, it arrives very quick. All the parts you need are professionally boxed and wrapped. If you purchase two side and rear mount cameras with the screen like I did be aware, and it’s NOT a big deal, that the boxes will be printed with the backup camera design. It’s ok! Open ALL the camera boxes and you will find your side mount cameras, too, in the same printed boxes. It’s possible that the company will make this change soon to be sure customers aren’t scared into thinking they didn’t get side cameras. Many comments show that they don’t open all their boxes and assume they received four backup cameras.IMPORTANT: cameras are packed carefully and with clear tape, not plastic film, on the lenses. If you pull the tape off, be aware. A sticky film might be left on the glass lens. Cotton swabs and denatured alcohol was my solution to taking this film off but with care, they’ll be clean and beautiful.ERapta also provides an excellent amount of well marked, easy to connect cables. I live in a 40’ vintage bus. I am more than pleased by the 10 and 20 meter, not feet, lengths that come with the cameras. It’s more than what I need but am happy with the extra length.The monitor and remote are lightweight, clean, simple to use together or separate. The visuals on the screen, the options of viewing are clean, crisp and truly enjoyable to experiment with.When finally placing the cameras, be aware that it’s important, especially with the side cameras, that you connect and power on the system to be sure they are on the correct side of the vehicle. The monitor has camera features to reverse the screen but it’s important that you make sure the cameras are not upside down. The eRapta side cameras can easily be taken apart with four screws and spun around in the ball mount and put back together to be at the view you prefer.The night views of the these cameras are bright and powerful. The controls are easy to adjust and if safety is your concern about vehicles being in a spot you cannot see, like it happens when driving a 40’ bus AND pulling another vehicle behind it, then you will appreciate the quality of eRapta.The camera package works so well that we use it as home security when in the bus. The only downside is there is no recording package so if you leave you cannot record intruders. Again, there is NO recording option on this four camera, monitor package. Still, the options to see clear day or night, whatever kind of weather is worth every penny of knowing who’s out creeping around your vehicle or home.Customer service is BEYOND what I expected and still can’t believe the fast response to questions I had. I’m a woman that doesn’t understand this electronic stuff but every question was patiently answered with beautiful enthusiasm and concern. If you ever need assistance, eRapta customer service is going to surprise you, I promise!!Again, I can’t say enough about the products, customer service and expedient service. If you don’t believe me, read the other comments. Even I was hesitant into believing a company could be exactly what you’d expect but ERapta is and more. Thanks eRapta, I love my camera system!!

The system comes complete with cables, cameras and monitor. Nicely packaged with clear instructions. I purchased this system because of the infrared capability, bigger screen and quality cameras. I am not a trucker but an off-road enthusiast and need a system due to blind spots both front and back of my Jeep. Mounting is easy, wiring is straight forward, and the display is clear, night and day. The plus is back up lines when in reverse. A nice feature and easy to adjust to my vehicle's proportions.

Do NOT buy this unless you want angst and frustration. By the time I found someone who was able to hardwire this for me in a motor home, it was past the return date. It is less than useless. The images keep flipping (left is on the right// right is on the left) making it unusable for backing up. The monitor refuses to turn on most of the time. The remote fell apart in my hand the first time I pressed the power button.
