Have ordered the components I think I need to install a reversing camera in 110
while I await their arrival am thinking how I do this
plan to fit camera and supply power to camera fron reversing light on defender
(so camera and ?? Monitor switches on when I select reverse ...this power source is
close to camera and easy to access
then plan to connect a video cable fron camera to monitor in the front
QUESTION
Does the monitor need its own power source and if so where is it best to get this from that will not upset the switching on when I select reverse ?
or am I confused ...
Hi,
I got my 2 cameras and monitor from Safety Dave. Both cameras are powered from the monitor.
I ran the power from the reverse lights up the chassis rail, up through a hole under the cubby box, through pin 1 and out the common of a 2 way switch, up under the transmission covering mat to the windscreen.
Pin 2 of the switch is accessories power so I can use it for rear view with the camper on the tray.
The second camera is in the rear window of the camper to give a higher view to the back. Cameras are switched by the monitor controls.
Cheers
Thanks for that
I’m still confused
i have a simple set up with one rear camera and one monitor
so do I need power to the camera AND the monitor
as stated I can easily get power from the rear light and use reverse gear to switch on
.....but confused if I need to wire up both camera and monitor and both to reverse light
Or as you appear to be saying I wire MONITOR to reverse light .....and then bring power back to the CAMERA fron the monitor
Check your wiring diagram.
Of the four that I have installed all were designed to be powered by the reverse light, so the power tap on the wiring loom is at the camera end.
Power is sent to the screen thru the cable that connects the screen to the camera.
If you've got a "wireless" set up, then you probably will have to power the camera and screen separately.

Hi,
Yep, reverse light power forward to monitor then power goes back to the camera (s) down the multi - core connecting cable supplied.
That is how mine is wired and it is the only experience I have had with them.
Cheers
Hi,
A few snaps of the screen mounting in the Defender. I wasn't happy with the bulky suction-cap mount, and as the monitor had a thread in the bottom, I made a bracket to suit. This keeps the monitor as low as possible and is rock solid.
The mount is quite simple and sits under the existing torx screw
A nut locks the thread tight at the desired angle.
Cheers
