What it is for
CAM 44 NAV watches the area behind the vehicle while manoeuvring and parking. The close-range lens shows the zone just behind the rear wall, while the long-range lens gives a view similar to looking through a rear window - you can also switch it on outside reverse gear.
The NAV version differs from the basic CAM44 by including an adapter box for navigation and multimedia systems, so you can connect more easily to an existing navigation display when connectors and the video signal match the manuals.
The camera is intended mainly for vehicles. In practice it is fitted on a motorhome, van or caravan when you need a permanent rear view for pitching up or avoiding obstacles. Image and sound travel by cable to a colour monitor; the camera leaves the factory with a mirrored image, so the monitor must use a normal (non-mirrored) picture mode.
Installation notes
- Fit the camera bracket on the rear wall or crossmember as described in the CAM44 manual, using the insulating pad supplied.
- Route the 20 m system cable to the cab so it cannot rub on sharp edges or collide with moving parts.
- Connect the camera via the NAV adapter box to the navigation system or a PerfectView monitor and to 12 V DC as shown in the wiring diagram. Power draw per the CAM44 manual is max. 4 W.
- For electrical tests use a diode test lamp - a filament lamp can pull the circuit voltage down.
- After fitting, check lens switching, cover movement, NAV adapter operation and the three distance markers on screen in reverse.

CAM 44 NAV versus other PerfectView cameras
CAM 44 NAV combines two separate lenses in one compact housing and adds a NAV adapter. If you do not need the adapter, choose the silver CAM44. For white bodywork pick the white CAM 44. Newer dual-view cameras from the CAM 440 line are listed as separate PerfectView products.
Safe use
- A reversing system is only an aid. It does not replace care when reversing or checking the mirrors.
- Operating temperature per the product page: -30 to +70°C.
- The housing is IP68, but seal mounting holes only as the manual describes.
- Do not use longer cover screws than specified - overlong screws damage the camera.
- Match the NAV adapter connectors to your navigation system using both manuals.
Care
Wipe the lenses and cover with a soft, damp cloth and no aggressive solvents. After washing the vehicle, check that the motorised cover opens and closes freely.
