bluflame11 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi guys! I'm looking for some info on a camera system...it seems like the cab cam quad cam 7 inch fits nicely into the volvo dash. It seems like a lot of volvo owners do this....I called a local retailer with questions...he refereed me to the company because he did not know...e mailed the company who tools me I needed to ask my dealer....even though I told them my dealer sent me to them! If it was not that their product seemed to fit so well, I would be looking for another company... I was wondering if you guys are using the wired or Wireless versions? If you are using the wired version, can you add one wireless camera to the unit. I would like to have a wireless camera at the back of the fifth wheel if possible. If you are using the wireless version, can it still be mounted flush in the dash with a remote antenna? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuiteSuccess Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Mine purchased from Leviathan _holdings off eBay. It is wired. I have just one camera pointing at hitch. Don't have side or fiver cameras but this guy has that setup available. I think most people are recommending wired to avoid drop out. 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.

Nigel Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I think it may have been Jack that said you might as well go wired as you have to get the power supply to the camera anyway.

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I have a 10" 4 camera system that is wired. From the same seller as Carl. http://stores.ebay.com/Automobile-Rear-View-Camera-Systems?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 Scroll down for all his different systems. If you don't see a "Kit" you like contact him and he will build whatever you need. My dash is different than yours, so I made my own mount for the 10" screen. If I could fit a screen in the dash I would but a 1998 model can only be modified so much. Jim's Adventures Old Spacecraft....

Heavymetal Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I bought my wired system from aliexpress.com. 4 Sony HD CCD cameras A 4 channel 7" monitor with reverse picture. I had to order a few extra cables as it came with four 10m cables which were not enough. I think all together it was $218.00 and so far it is working great. It sure bets what I paid for my voyager system, one replacement camera was over $300.00 so I replaced it a Sony I bought from the same web site for $9.00 it work just as well as the $300.00 dollar one. 2016 Western Star 5700xe (Pathfinder) DD15 555hp w/12 speed automatic 3:05 diffs 2005 Newmar Mountain Aire 38RLPK 2 Great Danes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsChrissi Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 You can also add a "video switch" to one channel of your inputs, we have a complete homebrew system and have left, right and rear cameras plus switch the video between a front monitor for driving or a MH panel monitor by the side door for security. Bought all the components on ebay and amazon. Video switch runs about $22, cameras about $20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatsnext Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Hi Phil, I have a question for you. Did you run the wiring in the cab under the mat or did you run the wires under the cab ? Looking for the best place to run any wires. Thanks for any input, Al I ran my wires from the monitor mounted in-dash (like Phil's) behind the steering wheel and came out by the steering wheel adjustment pedal. I ran the wires out of the cab via an access through the firewall which Volvo provides and covers with a large rubber grommet. I slit the middle of the grommet in an "X" configuration and fed the wires out into the engine compartment. From there I ran them to the back of the truck securing to existing air lines/electrical wires. 2016 Volvo VNL780 D13 I-Shift 2016 DRV 44 Houston 2015 Smart Cabriolet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
