OSRAM ROADsight Wireless Reversing Camera OWRCS4 Review

The OSRAM ROADsight Wireless Reversing Camera System OWRCS4 is a simple to use camera with a decent sized screen for your vehicle with a simple install process.

You have two wires to deal with one being a live that attaches to your reverse light and an earth but be sure to get your local mechanic to install for you if you are not able to do so yourself.

The main screen just plugs into your existing cigarette lighter port and will automatically connect to the rear camera once powered on is that simple.

This works on 12 and 24v vehicles and has a large 4.3 inch display with good clairty and easy viewing, there is three buttons on the rear of the screen one being the main menu key and two to cycle through the on screen menu which has brightness reverse image and set up,  however it may be possible to hardwire more to it by the looks of it but we are just revewing this on its reverse camera feature.

The main screen can be placed anyhwere in your vehicle and comes with a window suction cup and a dashboard mountm, the rear camera requires more work and has to be fitted but does come with a double sided pad if you want to mount inside your car for example it is IP67 rated so the choice is your we fitted ours over the reg plate beside existing light ports on the boot.

Overall the reverse camera works well and evn in the dark which is good giving you a clear picture of what is behind you keeping you and your vehicle safe from any knocks or bumps the rear camera can also be adjusred to your requirement.

From my usage the time the camera stays on for a short time or went off then came back on and was a hit and miss it may be car related issue however it does offer a great view of what is behind you

OSRAM reveals new wireless reversing camera system!

Original equipment (OE) manufacturer and renowned automotive specialist, OSRAM, has introduced another reversing camera to its extensive range, the ROADsight 4.3” Wireless Reversing Camera Kit (OWRCS4).

To improve visibility and safety for the driver and pedestrians in the vicinity, OSRAM has launched a new reversing camera OWRCS4, to complement its popular ROADsight 7” Wireless Reverseing Camera Kit (OWRCS7) launched earlier this year.

Being able to have access to a good quality rear camera allows drivers to thoroughly check the area behind them to ensure it’s clear and also show them what space is available when reversing. While a rearview mirror can give drivers a view of what is behind the vehicle, it lacks total visibility, which reversing cameras provide.

The OSRAM wireless reversing cameras, ROADsight REVERSE, can be fitted to 12V and 24V vehicles, including cars, light commercial vehicles, caravans, motorhomes, horse boxes – anything that may require a reversing camera.

The cameras are IP67 rated (dust and waterproof) and suitable for on and off road use. They are easy to install, and have a wireless connection of up to 100 metres in an open environment.

ROADsight 4.3” REVERSE – OWRCS4

The OSRAM ROADsight 4.3” REVERSE wireless camera kit (OWRCS4) has a 4.3 inch digital monitor (as the name suggests) and an adjustable suction cup mount. This product can support two different cameras, and the screen will split in two, so the driver can see both. Similar to the OWRCS7, it has on screen parking guidelines to assist the driver.

ROADsight REVERSE – OWRCS7

The OWRCS7, which is a ROADsight 7” REVERSE wireless camera has a seven inch compact AHD monitor and the ability to view a four way split screen for optional additional cameras. It comes with a wireless 1080p camera and also has night vision, giving drivers the ability to see clearly in dark situations as well as on screen parking guidelines. Further, it comes with an adjustable sunshade for the monitor so the driver can also see the screen clearly.

Both products are available now and include the monitor, camera and the correlating wires needed to install.
