My company just put me in a new truck with this system. I am not in love. The best way i can describe my feeling about it so far is you can see a lot less of quite a bit more. Past about a quarter of a mile back i can tell if there is a vehicle there but not what it is. Daytime, i really like the field of vision, the down facing camera is my favorite part of the whole system, gives me a clear view up past my front bumper, got to see a woman in a chevy almost merge onto me just today. Close second is the distance markers on the main mirror. Not in love with the zoom feature though, if it was an optical zoom that would be cool, but just making grainy video even grainier is not very useful. Probably going to just disable that function. My major gripe is night time use. The glare is terrible, i cant see anything past the first vehicle if i am on a multi lane road. It just turns headlights into big blobs of light that all seem to blend together. I can look in my glass mirror and i can count the cars quite a ways back clearly and distinctly.

Personally I think an old fashioned mirror works fine. They are less expensive and you don’t need to worry it won’t work.

Super great information. Ty. I dig those mirrors.

Very nice

Our company going to these. None of the drivers want them, but being forced on us. Guess we’ll see how many of our bosses can drive when that happens.

Conventional mirrors should be kept in case of screen failure.

This would be amazing for oversized loads too

Are we going to see a 360 view soon on semis? That would be insane. Need a magnetic mountable cam for the trailer

We can only hope... I’m planning to get a DJI Action 2 (tiny Bluetooth/Wi-Fi magnetic camera) to slap on the side of my trailer when bumping docks. That, plus this camera system would make blind siding much less miserable.

@@NightowlTrucking also I’d love to hear how your rear can setup works out. I am really wanted to atleast have a rear view as I’m just so tired of being so blind behind the 53’ dry vans

I'm glad my careers almost over there's too many control freaks out there now.

Does this record accidents

That is nice. But is it recorded for about 6 days

Is there a truck age limit to install this on and what’s the cost I have a 2006 Freightliner Century

Yet they dont add a camera to cover rear end of the trailer while reversing on the blind side ,how comes ??? The monitor should have a touch in of Zooming feature to be able to look for a far view as well as ehanced view on the rear wheels to distinguish flat tires or ground sinking 😢

Excellent rookie equipment till it stop working 😂

Where can I get it

Is it recording also? Thanks

Hola q precio tiene

How much ?

Don’t trust. This ting many people complain. You can't see the lights well at night. It doesn't work to park. I know it from the same drivers the amazon

Can this be put on older trucks? No price for system & installation.

Pls can you tell this camera price?

If you are having connection issues due to the movement of the truck, shouldn't that have been taken into consideration during the design phase of this system? After all, there is no way of changing a semi's movements. It bounces, that's what they do. But, your company should've taken that into consideration. Can't blame it on the truck if you are designing an aftermarket product. Nasty turn? How many miles you got behind the wheel? Man, that was a typical turn, nothing nasty about it.

Driving over 20 years 25 million safe miles? He's driving over a million miles a year. I'm skeptical.

So I used it and thought the same but it honestly it the night vision alters the color kinda like a blue light filter that helps way more then you’d think , on the plus’s side the camera doesn’t see glare either so high beams no longer become a problem

Oh wow more crap to go wrong

If it helps I’ve heard their maintenance team are extremely incredible, a driver who has it says he was going on a vacation Monday, and called them same day for the camera being down, told them he’d leave his truck key in his truck. Dude I kid you not went out shopping with his family and by the time he got back the maintenance guy was putting the camera back together and ready to hand him the key. Btw this dude didn’t live in an easy place to reach. Now not saying they’ll be perfect but they are 100% on it. The cost to buy these camera systems include a lifetime warranty and 24 hour maintenance team

Impossed by people that don't drive trucks on truck drivers . This is not a safety improvemt but an added hazard while driving . The image is smaller . Can't judge distances property while overtaking or reversing .can't even say your rear tyres are low in air or flat

Having driven with a company that has these installed I can reassure you a bit, the screens are way bigger then they look. You can 100% see more in those cameras then you can in regular mirrors, the cameras are higher up so you tend to see more cars then normal mirrors not to mention you don’t get headlight glare. You can 100% judge distance I thought I’d be worried about that too and tried to look more in my regular mirrors but you find yourself looking in the camera way more. Seeing it on camera versus using it in real life doesn’t do it the justice that seeing it in person does
