Installing the Yakry Y27 RV backup camera

This is my take on installing the Yakry RV Backup camera to my trailer that was factory wires for a competitors backup camera. It was easy and fast. I'm very impressed with the picture quality and value.

[@patrickt863]

Thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful. One point though..... you mentioned difficulty pairing second camera. I did the second camera something like the first. That is I used a 12 volt power unit from some device I had lying around. Then I followed the pairing instructions on the KZbin video they sited. Basically I powered up the video screen. The I pushed the okay button. This put it in pairing mode with a countdown. While in countdown mode I plugged in the new camera. VOILA

Thanks for sharing

We had purchased the Y28 with the two cameras. We were a little apprehensive about switching our existing system over but after watching your video, we bit the bullet and wow what a difference. It was easy to install, the pictures are really crisp and clear. Thanks for posting the how to install.

[@TrailAngelRock]

I'm glad it helped you. After looking at the competition that I couldn't afford this is a very nice and easy alternative.

[@patrickt863]

Another point. I had trouble going from camera 1 to camera 2. It kept going from one camera to split screen. I couldn't isolate the two cameras. Then I shut off camera 3 and 4. Then I could go from camera 1 to split screen to camera 2.

Thanks for the video. I just now received this same setup. And I love it. The Furrion is way too expensive. And this one fits the bill. Thanks again!!

[@TrailAngelRock]

Thanks Lance!

[@robestey5628]

I just received mine today and was very impressed with the bench test. A rocking picture and both cameras work great. Thank you for the walk through - I am going out tomorrow to replace my Furrion which runs like crap. Water must have gotten into the sensor as is a sad sad picture. Thank s again, great video.

[@TrailAngelRock]

Thank you so much for the comment. I hope all goes well with yours.

[@souleatter-ls6pi]

Just a FYI, they sell 12v adapters to usb C and regular usb at autozone or other stores like it. Thanks for the tip on the headlights. Good video.

[@TrailAngelRock]

Thanks!

Problem with the sealant mess was using self leveling on a vertical surface. Use the non sag for that

[@matthewblack1322]

You make this look easy.

[@TrailAngelRock]

Thanks, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

[@DSurfer2007]

I was able to use the Furion bracket to fix the backup camera. I also bought a second camera. In order to link them via wifi. You need to get them all very close to the monitor to pair them. This second wifi camera will monitor my property entrance close to the main road. The wifi connexion should be OK as it will be fairly close to my trailer. Will use the monitor inside my RV and I will be able to monitor both cameras all day long. Great product.

[@TrailAngelRock]

Great idea Daniel

[@davids4377]

If you would please, can you tell me how you got the second camera? I've looked all over! Thanks so much!

[@leannej.5310]

Great video. Thank you!

[@TrailAngelRock]

I'm glad you liked it and I hope it was helpful. Thanks for the compliment!

[@DSurfer2007]

Tks for the educational video, it helped a lot. I just finished installing mine on a Coleman Light 1805RB 2022 model. It works great, and the image is cristal clear. Just plug in the screen receptor into the lighter plug in on the F150 and instantly the image appear. Great product!

[@TrailAngelRock]

I'm glad it helped you out Daniel. I'm happy with mine too.

[@tomseim]

My manual says that the camera isn't free, but 50% off the regular price. But I only paid $93 ($47 off the regular price) for the kit and the extra camera is only $23 at half price. Also, I would have made a bracket that screws onto the bottom of the RV rather than what you did.

[@TrailAngelRock]

Maybe they have changed the policy on the free camera. It's coming up on two years since I put this video out. Hope it works good for you. Mine is still working as good as day one.

[@ShelbyVanGone]

I got the same deal which is still great! Glad to hear it’s still working well!

[@gregb5494]

Lap sealant is for the roof, hence "self leveling". It is too runny to use on a verticle surface.

[@daweili-fr7qj]

Thanks, very helpfull

[@TrailAngelRock]

You're welcome!

[@rthornton1000]

You just take the bottom off the fixture and the adapter bolts on there do not go all the way to the trailer

[@TrailAngelRock]

I figured that out much later after I made the video. The instructions with it was not very clear. Thanks!

[@patrickt863]

Very informative. I'm looking forward to using mine. One question I have is do you notice any lag time or video that isn't smooth.

[@TrailAngelRock]

The video is very smooth but I'm not sure about lag time as I would have to be able to see with my own eyes and the camera at the same time. That is a good question though. I wonder how it could be tested?

[@patrickt863]

Lag time really isn't the issue I think. The camera I have now isn't smooth. It pauses briefly frequently. I don't care for that. That's what I want to avoid.

[@TrailAngelRock]

@@patrickt863 Mine is very smooth. I'm not sure if distance would affect this. Mine is only maybe 30 feet with my truck and trailer.

[@billsnyder6826]

I just bought a small Coachman trailer and want to install an affordable backup camera. After a year how do you like your camera ?

[@TrailAngelRock]

I just returned home from a month out in my trailer. I still love it and it's working perfectly. I can turn it on for changing lanes in addition to backing up. A friend I was traveling with got a camera for his Garmin and he's not as happy because it will only stay on about 10 seconds if he is not moving in reverse so it's not good when he is in traffic and wants to change lanes. I hope this helps.

[@jasonearley7710]

Hi maybe you can help. I recently bought an additional camera and I’m have a hard time getting it paired. Is there a certain camera you need to buy or will any Yakry camera work.

[@TrailAngelRock]

I think you may need to contact Yarkry with that question. [e-mail]

[@stacey1139]

Chris I sure was hoping to see you hook up the camera to the monitor without connecting the wires to the tail lights. I'm looking for a security camera to use when I'm out camping using a battery and inverter inside my tent to see what's lurking around my camp site at night. Can you please let me know what accessories are included with this device to hook up without tail lights being involved.

[@TrailAngelRock]

Hi Stacey, I think if you have a inverter or 12 volt battery it would be a simple setup kind of like I did when I first tested the unit before I installed to the trailer. Just run two wires (Positive and negative) to the camera from the 12 volt source. On the monitor end you can either use a 120 volt (Your inverter) to 12 volt transformer like I did in the video or you can get a Cigarette Lighter Extension Cord with alligator clips to attach to the battery to give you the plug you would find in your truck. I hope this helps.

[@stacey1139]

@@TrailAngelRock Chris the unit itself has the cables or the wiring included for doing the test without connecting the camera to the tail lights correct because I saw a video where the wires were in the package?

[@TrailAngelRock]

@@stacey1139 The wires are in the package, but that power supply I showed in the video was something I had already. It's just a standard 120V to 12V power supply like this: www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZZ9SBWL/ref=sspa_dk_detail_5?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B0BZZ9SBWL&pd_rd_w=Axlg2&content-id=amzn1.sym.0d1092dc-81bb-493f-8769-d5c802257e94&pf_rd_p=0d1092dc-81bb-493f-8769-d5c802257e94&pf_rd_r=08Q8Y88MCA30CK1ZEKSB&pd_rd_wg=XE5KD&pd_rd_r=9222ffc8-134f-4a5b-8bd8-a98f9cc4efc0&s=industrial&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWwy

How long does the battery last ? On the camera?

[@TrailAngelRock]

There is no battery, it's wired directly in to the trailer lights. So as long as you are connected to the tow vehicle and you have your lights on, the camera is powered up.

[@santanab2798]

How did you hand the cord?

[@TrailAngelRock]

The cord for the camera was just put back in the rear wall of the trailer. The cord for the video screen is a little in the way as I only have one location on my dash to plug it in.

[@Thebackson]

at 1:10 you hold in your hand a bag that has a bracket that goes to the furrion mount. Why did you not use it?

[@TrailAngelRock]

This was a couple years ago, so my memory really isn't that good of why I did something a particular way. The video was more to show that the Yakry camera is a good, less expensive alternative to more expensive cameras.

[@Thebackson]

@@TrailAngelRock ok the title of the video is "installing the..." not how good is the quality. I was looking for installation videos I found some that answered my questions already, but I noticed you made the installation quite a bit harder than it needed to be if you would have used the bracket you held in your hand at the 1:10 mark in the video.

[@davids4377]

Anyone know how or where to order a 2nd camera??? Can't believe how hard it is to find one.

[@TrailAngelRock]

try contacting them [e-mail]

[@alezalez8963]

does it work on a 24 volts system or only 12v?

[@TrailAngelRock]

I believe it's only 12vdc. I powered my camera with my clearance lights and the unit in the truck runs off the 12 volt receptacle.

[@susansaunders8541]

Anyone had any luck contacting the company? We wanted to add another camera but the email address they give do not work.sort of concerning

[@TrailAngelRock]

I was emailing them at [e-mail] . They also have a store on Amazon you could probably contact them. www.amazon.com/stores/Yakry/page/3BC310D3-D559-4109-B4C8-6085828DFE8D?ref_=ast_bln

[@catsinq5726]

Hi, I know you made this a while ago and I hope you see this. If you still have the product manual, can you let me know the website, email, or phone number for contacting the company? I lost my manual and am trying to troubleshoot an issue (hardwired in, but display says no signal. It was working fine about 8 weeks ago.). I can't find any customer service information for them online, or on Amazon, and I've been looking for almost an hour and a half . THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I'm sure I have the manual some place but I was emailing them with this address: [e-mail] If that doesn't work let me know and I'll see if I can find my manual. Chris

I am trying the install soon. Anyway . . . .

[@jeffwilliams6374]

All you needed to do was to remove the plastic panel from the furrion baseplate and just use the adapter to install the camera, not the entire receiver. You removed the wrong screws, you should have removed the four small plastic screws instead. Two minute job…🤡😂

[@TrailAngelRock]

I don't think mine had any plastic screws
