Yuwei Rear Observation Camera

It was easy to install using the wiring that had been pre-installed for a Furrion system but is less than half the cost. The unit as a wide field of vision (~120°) and during a two hour trip at highway speeds (60mph) there were two signal drops that lasted about 1 second each. Other than that it has functioned flawlessly with good video picture quality.

Did you have to do any splicing or did it just plug into the existing furrion plug?

I had to cut off the power plug designed for the Furrion system, strip the insulation off the wires and splice them to the wires on the Yuwei camera. There is a lot of extra wire length so cut off as much as you can and still have a length of wire you can work with. The more wire left over the more wire you have to shove back into the small hole in the trailer and there is not a lot of room for it.

You'll also have to drill some mounting holes for the camera. Just be careful about what's behind the area where you're drilling so you don't nick any wires.

Mounting the camera took 30 minutes or so including adding dicor sealant around the holes and mounting bracket.
