AHD 1080p Side View Vehicle Camera

AHD 1080P SIDE VIEW VEHICLE CAMERA

Model Number – PC-680

Description

Ideal for cars, buses, trucks, forklifts, agricultural vehicles, heavy machinery, tractors, trailers, caravans, semi-trailers, horse floats and so much more.

This particular mobile camera is designed for a side view to assist drivers with blind spots and to clearly see vehicles on both sides of the truck or bus. This camera is designed to be side mounted to any vehicle offering either forward or rear facing. 

It could in effect be mounted anywhere and for any purpose with monitor mirror and non-mirror views of your particular  choice. Normally one or more side view cameras are interfaced with our dual or quad view AHD monitors. Drivers can elect to view 1 camera only or manually switch between them, dual split or 4 way quad view cameras with simultaneous single full screen or multi camera view.  

In terms of side view mobile cameras, each ccan be connected to the vehicle left and right indicator (depends on the monitor) so that particular camera delivers a full screen left or right side view when the indicator is selected or an auto dual or quad view. 

Drivers have the choice how to view one or more cameras, side view or not.  Our monitors and cameras also support rear view so when reverse gear is selected, this triggers the rear view camera to display full screen with or without optional audio. In other words, the correct AHD monitor will support a range or camera functions.    

Our IP69K rated AHD Mobile Security Cameras are significantly better for several reasons.  When the vehicle ignition or accessories is switched on/off so too will the reversing camera system. We use the term “reversing camera” or “reversing camera system” because most drivers need one or more cameras for OH&S purposes, safety assistance and general rear view reversing guidance. See our full range.

HCS offers a wide range of AHD 1200TVL vehicle reversing cameras, either DIN connection cabled or wireless. It’s also important to know that the monitor is up to the same AHD camera standard and once again, why it’s important to be informed and have that pre purchase knowledge.    

Not all cameras are the same. Other than resolution, mobile truck & bus cameras take an absolute beating due to constant movement, vibration, and relentless outdoor weather so the camera/s must be tough and tremendously solid which is why we choose these particular mobile cameras.

Is IP69K waterproof?

Products that carry the IP69K rating are ideal for facilities where hygiene and cleanliness are critical, as they are proven to be durable and resistant against water, chemicals, high water pressure, and high temperatures associated with demanding cleaning and OH&S measures. In other words, these cameras are waterproof but not submersible. 

10G Shockproof what does that even mean?

You often hear the word G-force used in the context of astronauts being launched into space or a jet fighter pilot. An astronaut experiencing a force of ten Gs, for example, is experiencing a force equal to 10 times the force of gravity. Most of us would pass out with head-to-toe G forces of just 4 or 5.  I’m just saying, our mobile cameras are 10G rated which has to be taken into consideration when choosing the right mobile camera for your vehicle, no matter what it is. 

Warranty

Sure, no problem we offer 2 years camera replacement warranty, express postage excluded. We are an Australian registered ABN company since 1982 not some fly by night business.

Are mobile cameras easy to install?

Please note we don’t install. Hidden Camera Surveillance monitors & reversing cameras have a voltage overload and reverse polarity protection to ensure the hardware isn’t damaged by fitting mistakes. Other than mounting a few brackets its very much straight forward although you do need to connect the monitor to vehicle power.  In this regard yes DIY if confident otherwise any local auto electrician will have it completed in next to no time with quality assurance. Cameras are 12V powered and when cabled to the monitor, this will provide all necessary power to one or multi cameras. 

If on the other hand the camera is the wireless model, perhaps fitted to the rear of a truck, bus, trailer or caravan, normally the camera will take power from a taillight or reverse light which in turn powers the wireless reversing mobile camera permanently or only when needed. Otherwise, don’t be concerned, the auto electrician will sort it out.   

How are cameras connected to a monitor?

Assuming we are talking about cabled cameras rather than wireless, Hidden Camera Surveillance provides a DIN cable as pictured below. Din cables are optionally available (included with kits) in 5,10,15 & 20m lengths but can be joined together if needed to extend the length. 

Our 4 PIN DIN plug cables are flexible yet tough and weatherproof with a thicker sheathed copper core surpassing that of others.  So, you order the cable length required or call our office.  One DIN end will plug into the camera and the other end to the monitor. Very straight forward but the key is connecting the monitor to vehicle power.  Fortunately, our monitors can handle a wide power range from 9-35V which powers the camera/s and a microphone if ordered. Audio camera microphones are an option and otherwise not included with any camera.
