    It's all done with just one camera. You just push the button to cycle through the different views.

    Like the idea here of mounting a camera in this recess in the cross member
    for anyone who has done this is there any impairment on the vision given the camera sirs in a recess

    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.

    Cheers Glen

    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
