We at car alarm and radio services have been fitting reverse cameras for years and are constantly looking for reliable high-quality units and efficient suppliers and we have hit the jackpot with Douglas at EMPIRICAL IN CAR. The instructions supplied with each top quality unit are step by step and in great detail from a company that obviously fits the hardware they sell. I would have no reservations in recommending this company and its equipment to any buyer. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I bought a reversing camera kit from Douglas around 2 years ago for my Seat Leon. In that time 3 cameras have failed all with suspected water ingress. I contact Douglas via the website to discuss maybe returning the kit for a partial refund or him sourcing a better camera at my expense. The first response I had was quite rude and was asked to “reword” my email as I’d called him in my eyes cameras junk and he would then reply. I told Douglas I had no faith in the kit after the 3rd camera failing and was unprepared to spend hours removing my bumper to install another one to his specifications silicone the top of the camera in the bumper. Douglas attitude and unprofessionalism towards me via email is as much hilarious as is worrying. Previously to this Douglas had been very helpful and supplied the new cameras with little to no fuss but I said once I installed this one that if it stopped working again I won’t be replacing it this time. The only thing I can suggest is that the cameras that are being used are of low standard and anything such as downpours and cleaning the vehicle is enough to stop them from working overtime.
