Hi. I've a Swift Bolero and recently had the rear view camera changed by my dealer because the image was incorrect.
The image is now corrected but whereas the first camera had the wrong image it did have a sound pickup on it, so I could hear as well as see someone behind the van.
The new camera doesn't appear to have sound, just an annoying buzzing noise when reverse is selected. I've spoken to the dealer and they say that sound was just a bonus with the first camera and that it is a visual aid only (not an audio/visual).
Question is, has anyone with a Swift Group MH had their camera changed to rectify the image issue and if so do you have sound on the new camera?
We have the Kon-Tiki 669 and have just taken delivery of a new camera (too far to travel to the dealer so I agreed to change it myself).
On changing over the camera we have the correct image but, like yourself, have the annoying buzz like sound. This is increased when the engine is revved up, indicating some form of 'suppresion' problem (use vehicle mounted radio's at work and can sometimes get the same problem of the alternator).
Contacted Swift and was advised that it will need to go into a dealer to rectify. At present I am putting up with the original camera as I have a couple of issues that are causing me nightmares and don't seem to be getting anywhere quick (being passed between the dealer and Swift but thats another story!!!). Hopefully someone can shed some light on this??
Even though ours is still the "wrong way round image" I find the sound pick up is really good and it would be a shame to lose it as it makes reversing so much easier when the wife is at the rear of the van as it is I can hear her clearly, as the image is so small I would hate to lose the sound facillity.
Allan, you're quite right, I've just been out and started the van up and the "buzz" increases in pitch along with the engine speed. Just like the old days when car aerials were wing mounted and as the corrosion set in the earth contact got bad! Still hoping someone may post who has a new camera that works on sound and vision!
Wytonknaus, at the moment it's 2 out of 2 with no sound! It may be that you have to make a decision between sound with reversed picture or correct picture but no sound. As you say it was really handy to be able to hear the OH directing manouvers through the camera system.
Hi. I have a Bessacarr E560. Exactly the same situation with the new (reversed image) camera supplied by Swift. The old camera had good sound pickup, no interference, but wrong image. The new one suffers from bad interference that increases with engine revs so it's clearly electrical borne interference! But now the picture is the right way round!
I was going to call the dealers next week to arrange to have our camera changed, and also get the habitation door adjusted as you can see daylight around the top edge.
Will put it on hold for a while to see if the correct camera can be fitted without the noise.
