Do they work ok in a dark environment?

Yea mines a pressurised hopper so always dark they have a led light ring on them, it does show black an white in the dark but clear enough to see no problem

I spent around £35 or £45 iirc on a pair of cameras and a 7inch screen off Ebay two years ago when I started off with a Sprinter drill. I have one camera on the rotating R clip (metering drive) and the other in the grain tank. They work surprisingly well and I would not be without them for a second, but they are only in use for a couple of weeks a year.

Couple of cheap amazon ones here now coming into their fourth drilling season with no issues at all. Think the first kit including the screen was about £50, extra cameras £17 each

I get my cameras from Reversing cameras uk. Cameras work well and lots of different leads available can get. I don’t need to buy a screen though

Not the best photo but you get the idea

Don’t be fooled into buying the branded ones, like sold for CNH, my neighbour paid nearly £100 for his, can’t tell the difference between his and mine apart from mine was £17 on eBay, I didn’t go cheapest, middle of the road, it’s been in the drill hopper 4 years now, best thing you’ll fit to a drill!!

The cameras are pretty good for the price they last a good 3-4yrs

We also use Reversing Cameras Uk ,and fine so far. We bought a £20 Sparex led to brighten up the netting box on the baler. Worth a try if it’s too dark in the hopper.

Upgrading our milk processing just now & looking at ways of monitoring the level in a milk tank on a high level gantry.
Thinking one of these would do the job. Would a 240 v > 12 v transformer provide the power ?
