Frequently Asked Questions

Is this camera compatible with 24V truck electrical systems?

Yes, the FHD74W features 10-32V DC power supply compatibility, supporting both 12V systems common in cars and caravans, and 24V systems typical in commercial trucks and heavy equipment. This eliminates the need for voltage converters or specific camera variants, simplifying installation across diverse vehicle fleets with varying electrical system specifications.

How does wireless transmission compare to wired camera reliability?

The FHD74W's 2.4GHz wireless transmission with 20dBm transmitter power provides reliable signal transmission between camera and HD74WK receiver without the complex cable routing required by wired installations. Wireless eliminates cable damage from trailer articulation, reduces installation time, and simplifies maintenance while delivering consistent signal quality across typical truck and caravan mounting distances.

What makes IP69K rating essential for truck and caravan applications?

IP69K is the highest ingress protection rating, providing maximum protection against high-pressure water jets up to 1450 PSI and temperatures up to 80°C, essential for commercial trucks and caravans that undergo regular high-pressure washing, steam cleaning, or operation in harsh weather conditions including heavy rain, dust storms, and extreme temperatures typical in Australian commercial vehicle operations.

Can this camera work in low-light or night-time conditions?

Yes, the FHD74W's Starlight HD sensor with 0.1 Lux minimum illumination delivers clear visibility during night-time reversing, low-light loading dock operations, underground parking structures, or unlit work sites. The advanced sensor technology captures usable images in lighting conditions where standard cameras produce grainy or unclear images, ensuring safe reversing operations regardless of ambient lighting.

Does the wireless camera require the HD74WK system to function?

Yes, the FHD74W is specifically designed for compatibility with the HD74WK wireless reversing system. The camera transmits video and audio signals wirelessly on 2.412-2.4835GHz frequency to the HD74WK receiver unit, which then displays the image on your compatible monitor. This integrated system approach ensures reliable wireless performance and simplified installation compared to universal wireless camera solutions.
