Furrion Observation System

[Flashdman11]

First question: This system came installed on my new camper but only with a 5" monitor that is very tiny when trying to look at 3 cameras. If I buy a 7" monitor, is it interchangeable with the installed cameras?
Second question: The website says they have motion detection, if wired this way. How do I know how it was wired?
Third and final question: The shark camera was installed as my rear camera, which is fine, but it can be used over the entry door also. I don't have any camera over the door. Do you think it is wired for it?

My 5'r came with a wireless backup camera. You basically plug the head/receiver into a 12v outlet and watch the rear camera. From the camera systems I've seen, it's just a simple matter of having power available to turn the camera on. I don't see why you couldn't simply swap monitors to something larger if they're wired because you still have the standard RCA/BNC connector to plug in. Regarding "motion detection" - I think about 2 things - a motion sensor that uses IR or software that monitors changes - which seems more likely. I suppose you could have a motion sensor tied into the same system that turns the camera on but that seems more like a residential or commercial use than RV. Lastly, you can probably stick a camera anywhere there's power available. The ones I've seen are typically next to an existing light source and they just tie in from there.



Good Luck
