Our take on the Accele LCDRV700QUAD

by Buck Pomerantz

A multi-screen backup system

Need help backing up the land yacht? Accele's LCDRV700QUAD dash-mounted monitor will become your control center for a multi-camera viewing system that makes backing up your large vehicle easier and safer, even at night. With its four camera inputs and split-screen display, you'll be able to see what's around you from every angle. Or, you can switch the monitor to show the full view from one camera at a time.

Loud and clear

Accele backup cameras include built-in microphones, so you'll be able to hear someone outside the vehicle giving you instructions through this monitor's built-in speaker. The cameras also feature IR imaging, so objects appear clearly on the monitor screen, even when its dark outside.

Features

Overview: The Accele LCDRV700QUAD 7" LCD Monitor allows you to connect up to 4 Accele rear-view (074RV700DR, sold separately) and side-view (074RV700DS, sold separately) cameras. The unit also offers composite video inputs for connection of other brands of back-up cameras.

7" LCD Monitor: The Accele LCDRV700QUAD features a 7" (16:9) LCD monitor for playback of video from connected rear-view and side-view cameras, as well as connected audio/video sources through the unit's front-panel AV input. You can switch the image from a Mirror or Normal image, as well as flip the image upside down. If more than one camera is connected, you can choose between a single image, split-screen, picture-in-picture, triple image, or quad view. The LCD monitor offers brightness, contrast, color, and hue adjustments.

Built-In Speaker: The LCDRV700QUAD features a built-in mono speaker which offers audio playback from compatible Accele rear-view and side-view cameras, as well as connected audio/video sources through the unit's front-panel AV input. You can control the volume of the speaker independently for each connected camera.

Camera Inputs: The Accele LCDRV700QUAD 7" LCD Monitor is equipped with 4 proprietary camera inputs for Accele's rear-view and side-view cameras, as well as standard composite video inputs for other brands of back-up cameras. You can go into the unit's menu system and label each input with a custom name.

Auto Display: The Accele LCDRV700QUAD can be set to automatically display the camera or camera images when your vehicle is put in reverse-gear. You can even set how long the delay (0-60 seconds) should be between your vehicle's reverse-gear being engaged and the camera image on the screen. The unit's camera trigger input leads must be hardwired to your vehicle's reverse lights in order for this function to work.

Front-Panel AV Input: The LCDRV700QUAD is fitted with a front-panel 3.5mm AV input and comes with a minijack-to-RCA AV adapter for connection of an external audio/video source, such as a DVD player or game console.

Remote Control: The included IR remote control provides wireless operation of the system. It operates off of a single CR2025 3V lithium battery (already installed).

Mounting Bracket: The Accele LCDRV700QUAD 7" LCD Monitor comes with two mount brackets. The center-point mount has a self-adhesive backing and allows you to to rotate, swivel, tilt the monitor to almost any angle. The U-support bracket installs via self-tapping screws and allows you to only tilt the monitor up or down. There is also a detachable sun-shield to help prevent glare.
