New Actros/Arocs Tutorials: MirrorCam Set Up

[@AlessandroRestagno]

At night, it's a total a disaster. You may want to consider a infrared cam at night. The idea is great, you just need to fix visión at night. Right now, it's like not having a mirror cam. :-( Also, if you have an obstacle on passenger side, you cannot see where the mirror cam is and you may brake the mirror cam. From the driver seat, it's impossible to see it. I'm an engineer myself and I know how much of a technical challenge it is, to make all things work out together in a proper way :-) Keep it up. I love Actros

TRUCKS YOU CAN TRUST 💯%👍🆗🔝

[@darrindugard6093]

They are shite , if it ain't broke don't try to fix it .

[@jamesmcgorm2132]

Great tutorial, is there a process for connecting additional cameras into the main display pilot, for example a rear reversing camera for rigid vehicles.

[@rooster3266]

While I’m here Mercedes what the hell where you thinking when you put in those pathetic sun visors ? I mean I have to take me seatbelt off to stand up and reach towards the windscreen to pull it down ! Seriously take a look at any decent truck today , they have a roller blind that covers both sides of the screen and you can lower it as far down as you like . Clearly not a driver who designs the interiors , and don’t even get me started on the wafer thin mattress ! 🙄

[@mrcage8722]

I HATE THESE BLOODY THINGS!!! The rear of the truck looks so far away compared to that of a standard mirror. it's difficult to judge the distance between docking bay and the guide rails. First time reversing onto a dock in one of these things i had to shunt several times because the camera quality just isnt good enough..

[@HUGO-LIDDLE]

Totally agree ! They are hard to judge.

[@darrenwestley7348]

I hate driving it everyday, felt confident with the old one with mirrors, but this one, just cross my fingers, I don't have an incident,

[@lucaZer0-x7b]

Do these cameras record footage?

[@Andyb2379]

Please sort your gearboxes out. To much lag

[@mrcage8722]

yeah and that push to start button... takes half a year just to start the bloody thing up!

[@정성을다함]

Nice

[@JohnWilson-qf5tk]

Horrible you have no depth perception. You can't see bank's men at the back as it's blurry that far back. And who carries a cone with them to adjust the mirrors.

[@petercalabro6395]

it would be nice if it recorded like a dashcam

[@flipper2392]

It would be good to hear opinions from drivers who use these all day, every day. I had an 8 wheel tipper with all round cameras and didn't find them much use, only when there were dodgy insurance claims which boss said happened at least once a week. One car tried to come up the inside, didn't make it, then said I passed him and pushed him off the road.

[@ianclarke7547]

absolutely shite

[@edwalton5528]

Rubbish , especially at night in the rain .

[@kristoph7606]

First day with one, the legal angle is a too low, I like to be able to see the roof of the trailer on a 4.2m trailer. When you lift the angle up, it gives you the warning that it's illegal. So vosa and police will see the red symbol and pull you for it, the driver should decide what's safe not the computer. There is 2 camaras per screen, don't try and legalize the angle of the camaras, Can't read license plate numbers through them, not the best quality. Havnt driven in the dark yet, but the other comment here fills me with confidence haha. Il let you know more at the end of the week.

[@darrenwestley7348]

Absolute shite, danger on the road

[@billypurkis5325]

Can't use with b/ doubles

[@andrews1376]

Trouble is you have to do this every time the ignition is turned on.

[@minioner5080]

Mine stay set after initial setup

[@excakehauler1381]

Do you these mirror cam things work when you are backed on a bay and you've handed your keys in?

[@yan24to]

Yes.

[@marcinajman6256]

But they switch off automatically a minute after engine off, so you can’t see what light is showing on the bay;

[@greetmen]

Very very little space for space driver seat, katastrofa. Man, Scania, Daf is better have more space for big driver truck.

[@MihailMacari]

Is mising the driver space,in the Daf is more better,i was driving a “Man euro 4” and “Daf euro 5” now i have 6 month “ mercedes actros euro 6” and? i miss so much the DAF,more easy to drive, a lot of space for the driver.Inovation you have mercedes,but you dont think about drivers.

[@BeastMK]

That is really good..Side Truck Mirrors were to Big and the risk to Crash em or Damage was high..High5 Merc Crew..Now even Kids can drive any Truck with Cameras like that :)

[@northplayyyer3453]

must be a really bad driver if you manage to hit something with the trucks mirrors

Habe den Neuen Actros eine Woche Probe gefahren. Die Mirrorcam ist in der Nacht und bei Regen Schrott.

[@brainyodin706]

These cam’s are really bad, i wouldnt pay a penny extra for them

[@johnsunderland4197]

Love some of these comments! Nothing positive to say- like the massive improvement in vision from the cab- no offside blindspot anymore. The camera pans with the trailer, so you never lose sight of your back end. DAF and MAN have now introduced their own systems, so they obviously see the safety benefit? Volvo are not far behind...

[@hawkeyegough9090]

no offside blindspot and instead we get a fucking massively increased blindspot because they put the fucking screens in the corners

[@Retrogamer71]

Fucking nonsense.

[@johnsunderland4197]

@@hawkeyegough9090 The screens are in front of either A pillar. Virtually no loss of vision. You obviously haven't sat in one?

[@markm-ci6rj]

Guy is obviously a manager! Who carries a cone with them? They are OK during the day as long as it is not raining, at night they are poor,.

[@johnvancamper9581]

Got these on our job. Garbage. Dangerous. In spray or low light you can't see anywhere near as well as in a glass mirror. Those lines are to "help " the driver judge how far traffic is away from you. ..if the screens were as good as a glass mirror you wouldn't need lines...or if lines were so "helpful " merc would put lines on its glass mirrors too. LED headlights on cars constantly flash at you because the light frequency interferes with the mirror screen. You can't safely clean the camera on the move so any large droplet of water obliterates a third of the screen image. Just garbage.
