I've just bought one on your recommendation Karen. Vender was easy to deal with and it arrived within a week of ordering. Mine worked instantly and is everything I expected it to be. Would never have known about them if it wasn't for you. Thanks for that.

hi ,i think the blue on the pads is a protective film which you should remove for better contact.

Hi Karen , I think someone else has already mentioned it but I’m pretty sure the blue colour on your magnetic plates is just a protective film that should be removed, and will probably improve contact a bit better. I may be wrong but you should check it out. Great gadget though.

Your piece of land looks so idealic and magical with all the hills in the distance🌄😊

Just make sure, before using an international plug adaptor, that the plug power unit they have supplied works with NZ 230/240v power. I’ve occasionally had kit with a US style plug that only works on 110/120v, and using an adaptor here in the U.K. (also 230v) does let the “magic smoke” out with quite a loud bang. There should be a label on it telling you the working voltage range. Stay safe.

Great addition to your setup Karen..........great to see your land again.........stay safe.......thanks for sharing

Make a metal bracket inside and put the camera in inside facing out the window, and the same with the caravan. This way its protected from the weather, in case it falls off from going over harsh roads (they slide down the plate over time), and also from theft from a passer by!

I have a retrofit reversing camera on my car. Skoda Octavia is just a normal sized family car but my house is at the end of a narrow lane which narrows to little more than an alleyway and finally ends in a flight of steps. Both my neighbours have small Fiats but something that small would be no good for my trips to Scotland. Parking used to be a complete nightmare, particularly at night, but now I can see clearly out the back. I can also reverse the car up to my caravan and hitch up first time. The camera can't be angled down to see the tow ball but it doesn't matter as you can put a piece of tape at the exact centre line of the van. Then when you reverse keep the tape in the centre of the rear view mirror, which goes to camera view when you reverse. In misty rainy England you also need to wipe the lens with Rain-ex fluid occasionally. This stops rain drops from beading on the camera and obstructing your view. Still very envious about your piece of land. Brexit and Covid have messed up my plans completely. At least I don't live in a city, where people have to get some semblance of exercise with dozens of other people milling around a public park.

when all this covid is over we have to come over to New Zealand see you guys..... and we want to stay in Vinnie please.... this would be awesome.....we my hubby George is a bit disabled but ok. Vinnie would be great to stay in thou....

Thanks for sharing this camera system, it seems that the installation is very simple, I have no installation experience, maybe I can try it!

Security of the camera while in the supermarket etc. ? Looks extremely easy to remove with a five finger discount. :-)

I would suggest using plain alcohol or alcohol wipes instead of body wipes; body wipes usually have additives for skin care that will be left on the surface that will reduce adhesion of the metal plates.

what a wonderful addition for the caravan, that thing is so cool... that will be a real work saver for you. Nicely done Girl...Thanks for sharing...Vic

I want one of those! So simple to fit. Birdy

Sorry couldn’t stop laughing, when you said the caravan is long 😜😂🙈 It’s just because I’m a truck driver and drive truck with one and two trailers, that’s up to 25m long 😜😂🙈 But really love your channel 😃❤️ moving into my oven caravan soon.... can’t wait 😊

excellent drivin K! reverse cameras should be a mandatory included extra, on any car. good 1 as always. you an yours stay safe, vertical an well. if the neighbours give you an H a hard time, try, the naked gun student driver car chase.

Wow! That reverse camera is a game changer! Im guna get me one to use for my caravan and my Ranger! Perfect for hitching up too. I guess it would be wise for me to remove it if I was driving along rough roads. I just love how you have all these men in your comments "mansplaining" to you 🙄. You seem to figure it all out as you go which is like most of us kiwi gals. 😋. Re: your land, when I lived on a block in NZ I asked the neighbours to graze their cows for a few days and they didnt mind doing that. Just a thought 🤷‍♀️

Hi,Mrs mum thanks for another video,grass on land needs cutting what about a couple of goats

Hi Karen, the blue is a protective film in the manufacturing process, it should be removed the expose the shiny stainless steel.

Hi Karen, Backup Cameras are very useful I have one and found it very useful but one warning, Yep you guessed "read the manual" before its lost to a pothole Ah one apple ,before you know it you'll be baking apple pies or making apple sauce for "KARHAZ" till next time xxx

K, if you get some pliers you can bend the US plugs to look like New Zealand plugs. Just check that the voltage on the charger is ok. Test them using a double adapter.

Woah that is a nice looking camera! Always nice not having to drill holes in your caravan 😁

I know it's been a while since you made this video, but if you are still using the camera, how has battery life been. many thanks.

About a week ago, I began to attempt to ask someone at Haloview one simple question, “What cameras are compatible with what displays?” Crickets…….. good luck with customer support!

I like the concept but a question will be how long to the batteries last? . . . And how long do they take to recharge? Enjoyable video, none the less.

Great video, been looking for this type of cam

Evening Karen,land is looking great. You are looking good. Brilliant, idea to get the camera

Exactly what I want ..Thank you!

Hope you have a nice time... You do not need to put the reversing camera so high on the car you have sheet metal (metal) which is magnetic on the entire tailgate on the cars that have the reversing camera originally motorized so it often sits at the handle of the tailgate // Anders

You could probably hide the metal pad under the NZMCA sticker - can order a new set of wings from the office.

+++++ i enjoyed your video. +++++

Wow, great piece of kit.

Can you flip the camera ‘upside down’ to put the battery on top and the camera on the bottom to give you more angle adjustment for a downward looking shot?

Karen, Your video was very helpful. I am wondering about charging the camera. Is it charged by 12v or 110/120v. We plan to frequently camp without services and would not have access access to 120v shore power. Thanks!

where in new zealand can one purchase halo view?

Remove the blue ! Hope that you're doing ok! All love, and best wishes to you both +! Claire, Sally, the older Goldie, and Lucy the cat, Berlin 😘 😘 😘 ✌ 👍

Ain't there any sheep farmers around you who want grazing land 🥰😎

I've got a reversing camera on my mk2 7 golf....but it only works when you engage reverse.... It would be nice with recording too..

hi karen what is the make and model no of that camera kit

Your hair is getting very long, I like it 😃

Awesome video. Quick question, could you mount the whole unit upside down so that you can tilt the camera to see down a bit more? Definitely make hitching up a lot easier. Take care, Jamie

Well done Karen liking the camera set up! Dpi you have to remove them when you go in a shop or away from your car and caravan?

Hi, what’s the model number of this unit , been checking on nett but the battery a another unit . Cheers jc

Gotta love when technology is a boon to your progress! A goat would clear your land for you :). How are you feeling in the morning Karen?

Don’t think it’s supposed to be permanently mounted, hence magnetic mount. Use it, remove it & store it

Wonderful 🦋

Where to buy?

Love the gate latch you have to the new property. :-) Do you use "safety chains" in New Zealand to attach trailers to the tow vehicle (in case the trailer comes unhitched)? I did not see you hook them up when you were hitching and I was wondering if that was just left out or are they not used there.

Hi I was hoping you could direct me to a dealer so I can get one. Prefer NZ dealer. Thanks

Hi there, what is the model number please?

Hi. Goats or sheep would eat the majority of your weeds and long grass. They don't usually attract a lot of flies. I use sheep poo in my garden with minimal flies. It's cow poo that attracts a billion flies and makes a gross mess. Hope you're doing well with bubs on the way.

The blue plates actually have a blue film to protect it. Pell it off.

Amen~!

Cool

At 75 I had not experienced backup cameras until last year. I do like them but still difficult to get my brain to know its available.

Neat makes solo towing much easier doesn't it :) Blue definitely a protective film, peel it off. Did you get chance to check whether the signal reached from the back of the caravan to the front of the ute, always the issue with this sort of thing, or the battery life from fully charged (sorry if I missed it)? Thanks.

Will you be getting a bigger caravan with the baby on the way

I would be so worried about that camera falling off.

Why not just stick it onto the Ute tailgate?

question did you buy this or get given it for review,. honest answer please. You can get them for 100 easy OMG

I would not trust the magnet for a long journey. Maybe put a cord on it to catch it if it falls off.

Weeds drive me crazy! I can never get rid of them.

Along comes the moron thief, while your at a stop and ................ GONE! I would say that the last thief thought your other monitor was a satnav.

Ma’am, you are supposed to remove the blue film.

Looks like you guys need a ride on mower.

I have a suggestion. Instead of calling it the land why not give it a name that has meaning to you. Perhaps you could ask people to send in suggestions. Mine would be Holmesglen. Or perhaps a Maori word would be more to your liking.

You are so going to lose that camera ! 😵‍💫

When backing to a tow ball, you pick a mark, or scratch, admitting to aim for. Any I used a mirror. Using electronics dumbs us down. Makes us less reliant on our brain.

Get a few goats or sheep to keep your grass shorter

Watch the camera gets stolen in 3... 2... 1...

3 steps to get to it 😂😂😂😂

*$349.99 be cheaper to buy a new car equipped as standard*

PAID PROMOTION

im going to invest in one for my motorhome you sold me on it karen

amazes me how women always presume and guess. like i pressume this is a battery and guess that these stick on to mount the camera. Why not just read the instructions first then everything will fall into place without all the guessing. Hows the bump doing.

side mirrors show all, and dont distract you, staring at a screen . so does the thief just pull it off and run. ...i watch these ''the car backs up the trailer for you adds'' ....i see a toddler run behind while the driver does her nails' ..sorry pet peeve
