Our rear view camera is faulty, it appears to be an optical fault, more than half of the picture, a big "blob" at the bottom is out of focus. I suspect water ingress to the camera.

It's on the rear of our Tischer demountable camper. Here is what I know so far, but manufacturers and part numbers are very scarce.

The camera is attached to the high level brake light. I removed the brake light and camera as one, then dismantled the brake light unit to detach the camera. The brake light is partly faulty, 4 out of the 10 LED's are dead, I am going to try and repair that.

The camera has a very tiny red 6 pin plug to allow the cable to pass through a very small hole. Inside the 'van there is this cable assembly

That seems to take it from the 6 pin plug on the camera to a similar sized black 4 pin male plug that disappears into the wiring of the camper.

In the cab (at least one more larger connector to allow the camper to demount) is a REVCAM UK model No MON2930G V1 monitor that clips to the rear view mirror. That has a similar style but slightly larger 8 pin plug. I have the user manual for the display unit.

The interconnecting cable assembly has a tag with RVCAM-001 on it. Googling that yields no results.

Likewise searching Revcam UK's site for MON2390G reveals nothing.

All I have found so far i there are a plethora of different connectors used and no particular standards.

Anyone solved this conundrum?

I will attempt to contact the manufacturer of the camper to see what they say, but the most disappointing thing is lack of any details on most of the kit, It is only 3 years old.
 
Many fail at about 10 years I was told no parts available but good look , I fitted a autovox wireless kit .very easy fit ,
 
Yes I am finding a void of information. I am beginning to think I am going to have to reverse engineer a solution. i.e. while the unit is electrically working break into the wiring and identify the function of each core, so I can then engineer a.n.other camera to connect to it.

If I do that, I will separate any replacement camera from the brake light unit.

I await a reply from the manufacturer.
 
I am very tempted to buy one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-...8902&sprefix=reversing+camera,aps,161&sr=8-12

Ultimately my 4 core cable will contain ground, 12V dc and video plus something to select from rear view to parking view. It should not be difficult to work that out. It I could get a cheap camera like this working then I would immediately buy another 2 to keep as spares.

This also sets an expectation of what the bare camera module should actually cost.

It is likely that the square block in the adaptor cable I have is a voltage regulator meaning my existing camera works on less than 12V.
