Backup Camera System Featuring Anti-Glare Rear View Mirror Camera
The PLCM7700 represents a triumph in innovation in rear view mirrors and backup cameras. First, check out the rear view display, featuring a 10.7" wide anti-glare mirror that can also function as a video screen. The screen size can be adjusted, so you still have room for your mirror -- choose a width from 4.5 to 8.5 inches.
Second, check out the included rear backup camera with 420 lines of resolution, waterproofing, and nightvision for use any time, in any weather conditions. Plus, it can display "distance lines" on the screen, clearly marking how far you are from visible obstacles. The rear view mirror has two video inputs, so you can also hook up another device. It runs on your car's 12 V power supply.
7'' TFT-LCD Monitor
This kit includes a 7” TFT-LCD monitor, giving you high-quality video in a large screen size, so you can see where you are easier than ever. The monitor comes with a universal stand so you can place it on your dashboard or center console, and a suction mount so you can attach it to your window or ceiling. It also comes with a full function wireless remote, and two RCA video inputs for connecting to additional video sources.
See Where You’re Going – Even in the Dark
The PLCM7700 features IR night vision and low-light illumination, so you can see behind you clearly day or night.
Built-in Distance Scale Lines
This camera displays "distance lines” on your monitor, clearly marking how far you are from visible obstacles. That way you can be sure how close objects are to you, letting you drive safe and secure in the knowledge that you won’t run some kid over.
Weather Resistant Housing
Your camera is protected from the elements since it’s built with weather protected housing. That way you can drive safely no matter the weather.
Camera Mounts Easily on Your License Plate
The PLCM7700 can be installed easily on your existing license plate mounting locations, and is suitable for both top as well as bottom mount on the license plate.
Check out this awesome video monitor/backup camera kit from Pyle. This kit includes a waterproof, night vision-equipped, universal mount color rear view camera and suction cup mount screen for the inside of your car. The camera installs easily anywhere on your vehicle, including near your license plate or on the rear bumper, and outputs crystal clear video over an RCA jack. The 7" LCD monitor detects when you back up and shows the camera on screen. Perfect for backing into tight spots or moving in reverse when visibility is limited - it's like having an extra eye. It's also equipped with a distance-line mode to show you how far away you are from other objects in the camera's viewfinder. And with two video inputs, you can even use the monitor to watch DVDs or video from any other source that outputs composite video. Includes video and power cables, wireless remote control for monitor, and instructions for mounting.

Customer Reviews


This product contains no instructions on installation or use and Pyle has been unresponsive to several inquiries. This is my reason for most of the 1 "star" deduction. The package contains a cartoon schematic diagram that does not match the components. I am still struggling to wire this system (my problem accessing required vehicle wires), but I have made a test hookup to assess the components. The video wire from the camera to the monitor is about 6 feet too short. I chose a wired system because of the problems reviewers have encountered with wireless systems, but with a wired system one has to remove interior moldings to conceal the wires. The camera produces a good clear, color image on the supplied large monitor. I have not yet assessed the ability to handle low light conditions. The large monitor is good for seeing detail, and the distance lines are helpful, but the monitor is too large to attach to the windshield with the supplied mount in light of the shape of the dashboard in an '07 RAV4. This is the reason for the rest of my 1 "star" deduction. (It rates more than 3 stars, but less than 4 stars.) I considered mounting the viewer on the driver-side visor, but the viewer is too heavy, bulges in the back, the wire exits from the "wrong" side of the monitor and the unique single wire from the viewer is too short for a neat installation in that location.

The 7 inch monitor is better than the 3.5 and 4.3 inch monitors although you need room to mount it. I always had bad luck with suction mounts for not being reliable so I removed the suction mount which left me with a horizontal hole in the bracket. I inserted a 1 inch long 1/8 inch dia bolt and nut into this hole with two small angle brackets that I got from home depot. I then screwed in two screws into the two small angle brackets and tighten the nut and bolt for a very solid and stable mount on my dash. I ended up with two screw holes in my dash but my Astro Van is +10 years old so this was OK with me. The instructions are not very detailed but there were only fives electical wires: a black, red and green wires at the monitor and a red and black at the camera. Red means +12 volts, while black means ground. Green means +12V when you put the tranmission into reverse to turn on the monitor. I elected not to connect the green wire which means I have to turn on the monitor manually. However, this also means I can leave the monitor on while driving forward. In any case, the monitor resolution is good but the color and contrast are disappointing even after adjustment. Buyers should not expect High definition but it is detailed enough to serve it's purpose of a rear view camera system. Cost me about $90 but I realized I could have purchase both the monitor and camera for $80 if I purchased them separately. Overall, I am happy with this purchase and I am thinking about installing a similar system in my BMW. You should cover the monitor with a towel to prevent potential theft.
