Hi, can I please enlist some advice…
I have a 2 year old PVC bought a year or so ago and my only issue is this camera array at the rear. The left hand one (not in the close up photo) is working fine, the right hand one presents to the display only milky images, and is letting water in somewhere.. when it’s really wet conditions, it shows the water ingress there sloshing around… the body is cracked so the water ingress is no surprise, and it looks more like it’s 10 years old not 2-ish… probably due to this and last years summer heat heating up the van metal bodywork sufficiently to split the plastic camera body, but still very disappointing. It came with the van and now out of warranty, so I’m on my own fixing it.
I’ve put sealant and tape over the cracks I can see, time will tell if that works - but I still need to clean out - or replace - that lens.
Two immediate questions - would anyone know what make this is - there’s no branding anywhere I can see, and no instructions in the pack that came with the MH… I am hoping to find some instructions and maybe spare parts online. The display is built in to the head unit, so no clues there either…
And
Whether the camera lens shown in the attached close up image unscrews from the outside? I am hugely reluctant to either try it and find the answer was “no”, or to remove the whole white camera body, as it looks like it’ll fall apart if unscrewed from the van. I unscrewed the high level brake light and there’s no access behind there to the back of these cameras, just some wiring which is looking fine.
Ultimately I’ll just get the lot replaced if necessary, but prefer a fix if possible…Hoping somebody out there might have more of a clue on this than I do…
