Power Acoustik PT-727MSV
by Giles on Sep.21, 2009, under Backup Camera system's, RV Backup Camera, Stand Alone Display Units
So it occurred to me that if I am going to include stand alone cameras I had jolly well better add in at least a few Stand alone display units as well!
So here is the first a 7″ display from Power Acoustik designed to fit where your regular sun visor does. I appreciated this as an option as when dealing with a Backup camera system you do not necessarily want a great big display continuously taking up space on your dashboard (unless it has some other function – like the sat nav combos) Nor did I feel that the readily available flip down DVD players were entirely suitable either. The danger their would be that while driving along there would be the temptation to look at something other than the road. And as road safety is what this site is about… probably not my best move…
So we have this device, overall its 9″x5″ in size and less than an inch deep (the screen as I said is 7″ visible) it accepts a single video input. As you can see it comes with a mini remote control rather than have controls on its fascia, this is not personally something I’d like. I hope to be able to track down something that has both a basic on panel control set as well as a remote. I am a terrible loser of remote controls and I have a fear that would happen all to swiftly with this one as well!
But apart from that the design is simple and elegant with decent brightness and quality. The main reason I include it is that as a slightly older design prices are beginning to drop and if you wanted a simple flip down display for your camera that you could later double up as a video display when you were stopped then its ideal. So I shall be checking out more modern versions from Power Acoustik ASAP to see how they have improved the breed. But for now the Power Acoustik PT-727MSV is the best value basic screen at about $90.

If you want simple and easy to install this is the sort of thing you want to have. RV's and caravans are great for holiday trips out, but can be a bit of a pig to get set, and an inexpensive system like this is ideal for the occasional vacationer.

A decent fourway sensor system, the added bonus of having a visual guide right where you can see it is great. Most suitable as a retro fit for a Mini van sized family car, where you have significant blind spots caused bu the shape of the rear of your vehicle. With this system installed you can hear and see immediately if anything is getting dangerously close to you.
A great camera for the RV or larger vehicle. It features include night vision capability and the option of attaching two more video sources (either other cameras or maybe a DVD player etc) A wider angle camera and a large screen allows you to see in detail whatever is behind you.
A wonderfully innovative device from the UK. No drilling into your bumper; a wider angle of detection than most other sensors and sensitivity allowing for tighter maneuvering than most other sensors. A bargain indeed!
