360º camera prices (installed)

[Ridgeway]

Looking at getting a full 360º camera (Birdview) system installed on the new van, something like a Caratec or Dometic (or other) but would like to get some idea on prices for a system installed in the UK as we could get it done when back in the summer. Just had a dealer prices here and even i was surprised but i know it’s a labour intensive install.

Anyone mind sharing the prices they’re shelled out or had quotes on ?

Off the top of my head without checking mine I think £2k now without the recorder.
This would be the HD set up if you’re not worried about HD then there is a saving to be made.

trailer vision are the ones j used and I think their prices will be on the website.
They normally say 2 days to fit, took them a day and half on mine.

DavidG58 had one installed i believe?

Ours was just over £2k for the Camos 360 HD supplied and fitted a couple of years ago.

Same as Martin but £2500 with not very user friendly recording, that was nearly 6 years ago , but looks like it’s not moved much

Didn’t you have 2 monitors funflair

That’s a good idea and wish I had thought of that , one each side like looking in mirrors

3 toblerones and a cuckoo clock (and 5 grand)

£4500 for the Dometic which as a kit is around £1500 so £3k for the labour itself

So it’s either UK when back in the summer or a trip to Germany.

Pretty much spot on

Ouch!

I've seen Martins in action. I think its good but it does seem a big investment to basically cover a few blind spots, the retro fit also involved quite a lot of dismantling and fishing. I've achieved a result that I'm pretty happy with by using 3 fairly discrete cameras and a 4 way monitor on the dashboard. Ok its not as polished as the camos but it works well for me.

What cameras did you use Jon?

I bought them off the guy who used to do the shows because I wasnt sure what went with what. I think to do it again I might be tempted to pay a bit more attention to resolution but works pretty well

I just had the 360 HD 3D with 10" Monitor installed by TrailerVision (£2,270) Excellent company to deal with and a brilliant bit of kit. Recording is easy; all 4 cameras record to an SD Card which can then be popped out and viewed on a PC/Mac using VLC player. Also had it set-up so I can record when I am parked and away from the van via a switch on the dash to run the system off the cab or hab battery.

Yes we have the two monitors David ours was the first time they had fitted two and they were a bit sceptical when I asked but they loved it, you can also get a 10 inch monitor now, I thought I might use both but it's Jen that uses the one on her side and likes it, there is also a 3D HD version now but I haven't seen that in action.

Very expensive, but if you have one of those massive coach things a good investment.

Will contact Trailer Vision, always needed a reason to visit Peterborough…..

I am not sure it matters what size the van is it just makes life easier, we have it on a car and it's great.

I just look out of the windows..

How precise is it Martin? If you were manoeuvring next to a low wall on the right side, how close would you feel comfortable?

Front and back a couple of inches for sure, I reverse up to our garage and get that close, the sides are most likely the same but I would use the mirrors if it was that close, the overhead view is a squared off image so if you were bothered about just a front corner for instance a camera looking down would be more accurate but again I can see the corners in mirrors if I try.

That's the van step in the image even though the roof is just a generic image so you can imagine that the black outline will just be a couple of inches clear, when reversing the rear image changes to reverse camera and you can see your own bodywork.
