Eterra CM-40 Back Up Camera with Monitor for Skid Steers, Tractors, and Heavy Equipment
Description
Introducing the newest addition to the Eterra back up camera family (Previous models include the CM-30 and CM-20). The CM-40 skid steer camera system is designed using feedback from customers on past models, and this updated design is the most functional and user friendly heavy equipment back up camera system on the market today. Let's break down this new skid steer back up camera system.
Sealed Monitor: Designed with a sealed monitor, durable aluminum monitor enclosure, and captive charge buttons making life easier for operators working with gloves, you'll be able to use the various buttons on the monitor easily. The new monitor design uses real buttons with an integrated silicon seal. When you click on each individual button it allows you to feel the buttons.
Removable Harness: Uses a detachable sealed plug system so the harness connects to the monitor and can easily replaced if damaged.
Camera Size: Compact new design with all the same great features you have come to expect from an Eterra product. It features a 150 degree wide angle view. The heated assembly keeps them clear in cold weather. The external LED's assist you when operating in dark areas or during the night. Compact design so they can be installed practically anywhere. If you need multiple cameras you can find the CM-40 Replacement Camera here.
Features:
Inline fuse in connector wires
IP-67 monitor ratings: This rugged design gives the monitor the ability to withstand direct water exposure without leaking
Dust can build up on the buttons with no issues to the functionally of the buttons

Warning: Many companies are offering automotive backup cameras to be used on skid steers. The difference is that automotive cameras are not built to run continuously for hours. They are meant only for backing up. This can cause issues in a skid steer as there is a slight delay each time you back up. Eterra cameras are meant to be turned on and kept on until you are done for the day. Eterra cameras are also built tough enough to withstand the conditions of a job site or forestry operation, exposure to moisture, and can handle the vibration of a machine, unlike automotive cameras. We have seen issues with wireless cameras as well, as they can be affected by your cell phone.

So far so good, the camera was pretty straight forward to install. With some mechanical knowledge you won’t have a problem. The screen fit perfectly where the mirror was on my 2015 Terex PT110F.

The camera and screen are both heavy duty and I don’t doubt that they will hold up to the test of time. The price seems reasonable to me as well but the camera picture is not great. During the day, especially with the sun out, the camera is pretty much useless because of the glare. The screen could stand to be a bit (naturally) brighter As well. The other issue I’m having is the exhaust fogs the camera up. I’ve moved it around to experiment but the only spots the don’t get effected by the exhaust are either in direct sunlight, causing it to glare, or too far from the very back which defeats the purpose. I fabricated a “visor” for the camera over this past weekend but have not tried it out get. Wish me luck!

Was easy to install. I removed the headliner to run wires and mounted the screen just under the message console.

This unit is the best by far I've bought. I've tried the less expensive one's, they don't last. They are not designed to run all day and burn out.
