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.

Install was fairly easy, just takes time to do a neat installation. Very happy with the quality of the product and picture quality. I found it is helpful if something on the middle of your machine like the hood release handle is in the bottom of the picture so you can gauge where you are when backing up. I installed the monitor under the left instrument pod and angled it slightly toward the center of the seat.

After a meticulous install using weather tight connectors, split loom, and careful routing of cables along existing electrical harness pathways the screen goes blue from time to time randomly and always at time when I need to see behind me. Not sure if it is the camera or the monitor or perhaps the heat from the radiator behind the camera (camera is centered on the top edge of the rear engine door) but I bought this unit because it stated it was designed for constant rough outdoor use. Doesn't seem to be the case. I emailed this issue a few days ago and have yet to get a response.

The the entire system was very well designed and thought out from the die cast aluminum housing of the screen to the the construction of the camera itself. Day time and night time performance, with or without auxiliary lighting, is exceptional. No excuses to back into anything with this camera on board.
