Rear View Safety

Purchased Rear View Safety Camera System a year ago and recently the monitor was not working so I ordered a new monitor and installed that but it did the same thing. I have checked the cable and it looks good , the camera looks like it has some moisture in the lens. The picture on the monitor looks snowy almost like when youre looking at a tv without an antenna. I want to order another camera but before I do wanted to see if anyone on this forum ever had this problem?

    I have a Rearview Safety camera and monitor setup. It has worked well for the 2 years I have had it. No problems with moister. The only complaint I have is the IR lighting reflects off the class and tends to washout the picture, so the night vision does not work well, except in traffic, where the car headlights light things up.

    If all it is is moister and it is not under warrenty, I would pull the camera apart, let it dry out, wipe down the glass and reseal it with RTV. The moister is probably causing the IR leds to reflect badly into the camera. I would bet the camera is actually OK. Once its dry, test it out before you put it back together.

    Ordered a Rear View Safety wireless setup in June. Took trip to Florida in July and went through a heavy rain storm in Alabama. Moisture inside the camera. Replaced under warranty. Took a trip in October went through a very light shower in Missouri. Moisture inside the camera. Replaced under warranty. The replacement camera came with moisture in it. I called company.

    Shawn Bukiet shawn@rearviewsafety.com said they were having trouble with cameras and were being replaced with a new design. I received the new camera but have not hooked it up yet. I intend to epoxy around the antenna fitting before installing.

    Moisture was entering via the antenna connection.
