ok today we're going to go over this hollow view 7 inch 8 D wired rear view
system its model number MC 7 6 1 1 now I want you to know right off the bat that
this works exactly as they say it's gonna work but it is not it is not I
repeat a recording device that's a different model number but this is the
model that they are marketing directly to truck drivers going down the road you
can see behind you in daylight you see spectacularly at night time not
as well but still adequately enough wiring this was not as hard as it would
appear this camera system is actually designed art this camera system is
actually designed for 3 cameras to work in conjunction and they will rotate
between the camera angles I would happily show you video of all this but
there's no recording function for me to show you and it's kind of a little
difficult to try to film it when you're driving it so I'm not going to try that
let me show you the setup this is where our mounted the camera I use
self-tapping bosun's to her right there the wiring
ran from the top of the cab the sleeper just with the welcome i brung it under
right here everything is if a together I've killed the home
they're dia right there until the bathroom and I found
so I ran the wires along the top of the truck following the Qualcomm wires and I
brung them into the truck right here and sealed them off and they come across
here and go through right here following the Qualcomm wires then I routed the
wiring into the Peterbilt boot along through here over there under the
doorframe up to the power unit and that's of course there it's where it's
plugged in that at the moment okay this is a temporary here
everything plugs in you have three different connectors that say one two
and three number three is your rear camera setup you just simply plug into
it now you have to run everything along the way this is not a hardwired system
you have to come from a cigarette lighter plug and it plugs in right here
actually so it's not a big deal you can put this all together and put it
it put it into your dash and it'll be fine
they do have systems that are totally differently wired you can wire them into
your fuse panel and then you're set up directly in a way a little better there
in my opinion but also a little harder
okay so temporarily just as a test I have hooked it up and and there it's
it's actually working you have a great view from behind I did an audio test and
I'll do another audio test so I can show you guys how it works also okay this is
the screen looking down at my fifth wheel as you can see I'm putting on
fenders out there ya gotta have fenders and it's night vision the night vision
on is pretty good too so it's actually really fun just as what is termed for a
backup camera okay now we're gonna talk about how I feel about
so yes
all right this was going to be a very in-depth video with a lot of add-ons
that I was going to try to show in it that because this unit does not record I
feel that if if you want this system to just see what's behind you or down or in
your blind spots it will work excellently and you'll be happy with it
if you want any kind of security saying what happens on the road just like you
might with a front-facing camera and I personally believe that that's kind of
what this unit needs you you need an SD card involved in this this unit has a
slot for an SD card hallo how love you told me it does it doesn't that's just
an honest mistake it does have a slot but internally because I did take the
unit apart because I dropped an SD card in it thinking that because it has a
slot and it says SD card that there would be an acid the attachment but the
SD card just fell inside so I had to take the unit apart to get my SD card
back out sent them a message and they said that this unit is not capable of
recording they do have units that are capable of recording pretty I appreciate
all of you sending me this and they sent it to me three so I guess we can tell
it's a paid promotion but it's not anything that I'm going to use if you
want to run 70 feet of coaxial to the to the back of your trailer you can put it
on the very back of your trailer if you so desire if you if you've got a box you
would have to but if you have if your open deck like I am you can put it much
closer they also have units that are bluetooth
all the cameras Bluetooth and you don't have to worry any wires other than a
power cord that would be a lot more simpler for a truck driver I do not
personally see value in a unit that does not record we are a target out here
every day for everyone I think howl of you has an excellent
product here I'm going to be contacting them and see if I can get a different
union that actually records if they do I'll buy I support that this the unit is
supposed not this particular unit text 128 megabytes card I believe what they
said but not this unit this is just my opinion there's a link below to hollow
vision or hollow view for their Amazon site where they're selling this product
at I believe it's a hundred and nine dollars I would have spent quite a bit
more to get a product with an SD card slot that worked thank you all of you
