Xview Reversing Camera Kit Installation
Yufei Labbe
Great for drivers or car owners seeking to get a reverse camera system, the XView Mirror Mount Reverse Camera Kit should be a no-brainer. Why? Because this kit not only makes reverse parking easy, but also helps increase road safety as drivers get a clear view of where they're reversing. With a 120 degree wide angle view, you can trust what you are seeing. The universal clip-on mirror included in this kit will fit almost every vehicle and provides a discreet installation by simply clipping over the existing rear view mirror. The clips extend 53-70mm.When reverse gear is engaged, the built-in 4.3" screen will light up so you can see the direction you're heading and the parking guidelines tells you how close or far away objects are making reversing a breeze! The reversing camera is IP67 dust and waterproof rated so that it can withstand the harsh New Zealand conditions. There is an optional second RCA video input connection allowing you to connect an additional camera or video device.With easily adjustable settings like brightness, contrast, saturation and zoom to suit any operating environment, the XView 4.3" Mirror Mount Reverse Camera Kit is excellent to make reversing safer.The kit is 12V compatible and comes supplied with a 6M rear camera cable, making it suitable for use in cars, utes, vans and 4WDs. The XVMIRROR does require hardwiring to the vehicle.
The Clip-on mirror design securely mounts on the existing rearview mirror in the vehicle by expanding the clamping arms at the back. The video signal is transferred from the camera to the Mirror Display via an RCA cable that will need to be run through the boot, through the passenger compartment to the mirror displays wired loom run under the dash. From there the power and video signals are sent directly to the display. At the rear of the car, the camera is powered directly from the reversing tail light. Priority is the AV2 input.INSTALLING THE CAMERA
Most cameras are designed to attach to your number plate, but your installer will determine the correct placement for your type of vehicle to ensure maximum visibility. For larger cars or commercial vehicles, they may need to attach the camera in a higher position to give you the visibility you need.
Minor electrical work is completed to connect the camera to the power source, usually the wires powering your rear tail lights. Once the installation is completed, your camera will activate when you select reverse gear.

Have a new car and am thinking of getting a blackvue750 dashcam front and back. I am a save
older driver so guess its just for piece of mind. Will cost me about 700 installed. For those that own one is it worth the investment.
Used to be meh about dashcams. Prices have dropped and thought to myself that it doesn't hurt to have an extra security/backup device in the car if there is any accidents. Many crazies on the road and if it is only a few hundred dollars to back myself in a tricky situation, for me it is worth it.
I have a blackvue DR900X, for me it has paid for itself, the power company in the area had an overhead power line drop on my car, it caused about $4500 in damage, I had footage of both the cable falling and the removing of it, the power company might still have paid me without the footage perhaps, but if it got nasty I was covered either way.
They are great peace of mind. Nice to know that your car is being watched whilst parked, and that any issues on the road will have video evidence. Even just leaving the car parked in the street, i've been able to help neighbours who have been side swiped or had branches fall on their car etc.

Had it happen to someone I know and didn't have any proof so they took the blame. Wife was involved in an accident with no other witnesses and insurance company asked if there was any footage so I emailed then screen grabs of the accident and claim went through straight away.
1) In the case of an insurance claim, can show who's at fault in the event of a dispute (happened to me recently)
2) Having some great videos of other drivers to upload to one of the many YouTube channels
3) Showing your mates your great driving at latest track day (* may not apply to you Rush74)
She was in a line of traffic at a set of lights when the car in front reversed into her.
At first the woman admitted being at fault but changed her mind and said the blokes at work wife ran into her and called the police.
That's when she said I have a dash cam, can we view the footage that proves my version of the story.
The police asked the other party would she like to view the footage or consider changing her story.
The other party admitted fault.
Don't know if she was charged but the dash cam saved the bloke from work paying out the excess on his insurance.
That probably went close to paying for the dash cam.
Definitely worth their value.
I was parked at a shop in 2018, my wife was inside. A woman parked beside me and scraped my RH rear with her 4 Wheel drive vehicle. She didn't even want to know about it, denied scraping my car a few times. I said to her, see your vehicles reflection in the shop window, she said Yes!, I said well your car scraping mine has all been captured on my Dashcam.
I sent a copy of the footage to my Insurer, made a Not At Fault claim and let them deal with her.

As everyone has said yes. Takes the unnecessary stress out of it, especially when the at fault doesn't provide full details.
Mine has paid for itself twice over. First time the guy drove off but he came back 20 mins later and left a note with his details. I think the dashcam got him thinking.
Since you're talking blackvue and spending that amount I'd highly recommend you get parking mode.
Otherwise save your money and use a simple duel camera Viofa A119 that plugs into the cigarette port, its good enough to record driving incidents.
A car reversed into my car causing damage. At the time of incident, he was apologetic and admitted fault. But he now has a different story and the insurance company is unable to resolve and asking me to pay the excess. A dashcam would have very handy to prove.
Wife was involved in a carpark accident. Both cars were reversing out of their spots but my wife stopped when she saw the other car reversing. Rang insurance and stated I had dashcam footage showing my wife stopped and the other driver crashed into her. The other party was deemed at fault.
I have been toying with the idea of dash cams. After an accident yesterday at a roundabout I think I need to make it a priority. Though the other car hit me on the lhs, which wouldn't show on the dash cam, it would no doubt prove where the other driver was before the bingle, as I was entering the roundabout.
Anyone recommend a reasonably priced dashcam?
I suppose dash cams can prove you're in the right but also prove if you're in the wrong!
Though if it speeds things up and gets things sorted/fixed it would have some benefit either way. And as stated above wouldn't be without insurance. Though think many only have CTP due to cost. Believe these days it's very expensive for young people
What I don't understand is the expensive dashcam with expensive Sony sensors or 4k resolution....what's the point? A 1080p dash came captures license plates and videos both day and in the dark of night..
We used dashcam footage to prove beyond doubt that the person claiming they didn't hit us, did. Even a witness wasn't good enough for our insurer as evidence. Expensive repairs and loan car all paid for by their insurer instead of ours, excess plus ongoing excess increases. Camera paid for itself in 1 go.
When my wife got into an accident the insurance company and police asked for same thing. It honestly feels as if a witness isn't good enough anymore. Video evidence is key. Which is going to be weird on a few years when with ai we can convincingly alter videos
I haven't (fortunately) needed to use my dashcam footage in anger yet, but it can provide entertainment. I don't submit my videos to any public sites, but I have got footage of other drivers doing silly things, other peoples accidents. One particularly good one was where someone had overcooked a corner and ran the caravan they were towing up a guy wire on a power pole.
There was also one incident where some idiot pedestrian on the side of the road mock-jumped out at me. Had there been any contact with that fool and my car, the dashcam footage would have all that stood between me and having charges laid against me for causing injury to a pedestrian.
