The back up camera does not get any video at 47 feet. It barely has video at 20 feet. Is something wrong with the transmitter or receiver?

Does NOT work as advertise . We have a GMC Denali with a short bed, and haul a little 16ft trailer. When attached to the back of the truck bed, the camera works intermittently, changing to a snowy screen every few seconds. Beyond that, not at all.

Wireless technology works "line of sight" therefore any obstruction will impact the signal. I have tested successfully over 75 feet with perfect video signal by mounting the Receiver (the Display) on the windshield of my vehicle near the driver's side window (using an extension power cord). NOTE: You can contact the manufacturer RVS (Rear View Safety) Technical Support at 800-764-1028 with any questions.

Mine works fine when attached to the back of my van and I'm backing up to the trailer. But when I put the transmitter in my boat shed so I can monitor my progress backing the boat in, I get "snow" every couple seconds. It's better than nothing but needs improvement.

Send it back..if they will take it back. Mine did the same. They sent me a second one and it did the exact same thing.

I have only used mine from cabin to tailgate on my crew cab pick up which is less than 20 feet. The video is sometimes a little grainy but good enough to see my hitch and ball. There are better ones out there for more money. I would first make sure you have a fresh battery in the camera. If that doesn't help, contact the company. My first one was terrible. I contacted the company and they were very cooperative. Sent me a new one that worked much better and I sent the first one back.

Most of time it's pretty useless, I hardly ever get a clean video signal on the screen from just the back of my truck

I would think that something is wrong. Assuming the battery you installed is good, I would contact the company and see what they have to say. I use mine on an Escalade so my camera is only 10 feet or so from the screen. I hope this helps.

I am not sure of the total distance you will be able to go, It all depends on where it is located and if it has to go thru any thick walls etc. Mine is about 100 feet away from the router box on the far end of the house outside and is very sharp picture wise. I have had it drop out sometimes and have to restart the cam. Not sure that has anything to do with the distance or not.

I have the same unit, but Backup camera will not work. There is no selection available in the screen for backup camera.

Good morning, Sorry it took so long to respond; I have been on vacation. I hope that your problem was resolved. I tried my unit for the first time yesterday; and the main problem that I had was making sure to push down the button down on the transmitter and hold it there for several seconds in order for it to operate. Also where to place the receiver on the camera hot shoe in order to receive the single; had the receiver facing backwards so that it would operate. Als make sure the batteries are in correctly. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. Good luck and have a great week. Jeff

First check that the system has power getting to it. It needs 12volts , check for bad fuses also. Check to make sure the cable connections are secure. Then check cable for damage..breaks,freyed wires etc. The trouble with my back up system was not the camera, it was a bad grey video box the camera plugs into. I found this out because the camera would work when I would wiggle the wires at the grey video box.

i had a semula problem, this camera needs strong flow of amp. if the camera is about 60-100' it might not be getting enought amp's. try a shorter connection from the power supply to the camera. and also if you are using a cheap vedio cable you well get line in the vedio try coaxial cable.

Obviously, check all connections. Also, the power might have been cut so you would have to reenter pswd. If you look at face of camera at night you can see if it glows red. If it doesn't the camera(s) not working. Other than that, I would need more info....

With my experience the range is not that great. I originally had the monitor about 50 feet from the camera. The signal would dip to 1 out of 4 bars often and drop several times a day. I moved my monitor to about 30 feet and have not had a a dropped image since.

I wonder whether the component video cable might be the key. Perhaps the user who had problems was using a composite cable instead. I'm about to order this receiver and try it with my component cable.

This is the very same problem I have with my device. Just keeps saying "Out of Range" even after all instructions have been followed. And to imagine this device is so expensive... This is so frustrating really. The network icon on the monitor doesn't have any bar on it meaning the camera is not sending any signals even though the light at the top is on.

I'm running 100' my self and having no troubles. I can't see why it could not run the camera at 300', run a line and find out

The first suggestion is to check the wiring. I had similar problems and took the camera down and connected it to DVD and everything worked. I then replaced the entire lenght of wire and the camera is still working.

Most likey the line going to the camera from the contoler is compromised an not getting power(low voltage).it is the same camera I'm thinking of the Scott 24 volts for power 2 lines. Hoekstra video need to have at least two more lines going for the controller positive and negative check thatI would start with the plug and work my way up to the camera

I have a 40' enclosed car trailer. I ran the transmitter to the front of the trailer. It is still spotty because the transmitter is inside the trailer. If the transmitter was mounted outside the trailer it would work a lot better. But when the video does work, it works great.

Suggest you ask them. They've answered questions for me in the past and our unit is working well and providing HD video about 90 feet from its source

the only thing I can think of is that one of the camera's don't work. Maybe you can return the unit for another one. good Luck.
