Hi Nick Just came across your video. how do you change from one bottle to the other bottle. Many thanks Bob

@nickharper6436 7 күн бұрын

Hi Bob, thanks for watching the video. As both bottles are attached you just close the valve on the empty bottle and then open the valve on the full bottle and you’re good to go. Hope this helps

Hi thanks for watching the video and the comments. I installed mine in 2022 and they were around £290 but having just had a look on Amazon they are around £500 so gone up considerably. I’m sure of you shop around you could get them cheaper.

Great video but wired this way the cam will always be live even when ignition off won’t it Wouldn’t it be best to wire to the ignition live feed to only be live once ignition turned on then no battery drain etc

@nickharper6436 2 ай бұрын

Hi thanks for watching the video. So there will be power to the camera when the ignition is off but there needs to be so that it will record if the vehicle is bumped ie a parking collision. It isn’t constantly recording with ignition off and does shut down after a few minutes and you can select this time in the app. It then goes into standby mode (detecting if bumped) draining very little power and the hard wire kit has a battery sensor that will disconnect the camera if it senses that the starter battery is too low. I haven’t had any problems so far. Hope this helps.

G'day Nick, another great video mate. On a different topic, have you had any issues with your Horrex fly screen door coming off the bottom rail? On my van the corner guide is plastic & seems to easily flex & come off the aluminum bottom rail. I've been trying see if a more solid guide (maybe alloy??) but haven't had any luck here in Australia?

Thanks for the comments Phillip. My flyscreen came off once but I put some silicone in the bottom rail to help and havnt had any more problems although I’m very careful while using it.

Thanks for a very helpful video. I have followed it to install the same camera with the hardwiring kit. The only problem I have is that I can’t connect to the camera once I park and walk away from our motorhome. It’s fine when I’m in it but not when I leave it, for instance when I’m at home. Should I be able to connect and view the camera from any connected device or only when I’m in the vehicle? I thought I would be able to this but perhaps I’m wrong. It only connects when it’s listed on my phones available Wi-Fi connections and the halo one disappears when I walk away from the camera. Any help much appreciated, cheers.

Hi Tim, thanks for watching the video and glad you found it useful. Unfortunately it will only connect to your phone when you are in range (Wi-Fi) of the dash cam. You can get ones that do what you want but are of course a lot more expensive. Blackview is one such brand I believe.

Useful reminder, thanks. It can be awkward to remove debris from these pipes but you can get a drain unblocked which connects to a Karcher (it has three back jets to push through to the blockage and a forward jet to break up the blockage.)

Do you know where the middle drain pipe runs out. Mine is blocked and I can't clear it. I've seen a spare on ebay and the problem is the stupid design at the end of the pipe it's not open it's shaped and has a really narrow flat exit, which is clearly blocked on mine. But I can't find a workshop drawing that shows me where it comes out. I'm assuming it somewhere around the driver's side wheel arch.

Hi Andy it’s in the drivers side wheel arch behind the wheel towards the top of that makes sense. I squeezed mine by reaching down inside the engine bay. Squash the pipe vigorously as I did mine and it eventually cleared. Hope this helps.

So true! I had a mechanic clear mine on a Fiat Ducato 2018. And what he did was to remove the whole thing with his bare hands. Just like you said, it had a small exit (looked kind of like an elephant's nose) which he widened by squeezing on the end, then hit the thing on the ground, and debris just kept coming out lol. Why on earth they have a large intake and small exit I don't know. It's almost like they deliberately designed the thing to be collecting debris, causing water overflow and engine problems. Hmm.
