eRapta 2 Magnetic Wireless Reversing Camera Kit with 7” IPS Monitor (1080P, rechargeable 9600mAh)
Product description
Overview
If you’re fed up with hard-wiring a reversing camera, this eRapta 2 kit is built around a simpler idea: a magnetic camera unit you can attach and remove without running cables through your vehicle. It comes as a wireless reversing camera system with a 7” IPS monitor, aiming to make DIY installs feel more like “mount, pair, go” than a weekend project.
On paper, it ticks a lot of boxes that matter for everyday use: a rechargeable camera battery (9600mAh), a sleep mode that’s designed to reduce drain when the screen is off, and an emphasis on signal stability for the wireless link. It’s also positioned as fairly practical for people who might swap between vehicles, vans, or other metal surfaces—though wireless range and night performance are the two areas where it’s worth tempering expectations based on your setup.
Key features and what you’ll notice in daily driving
What stands out most is the combination of a magnetic base and a monitor included in the kit. The camera is described as using a strong magnetic base with rubber wrap material intended to help prevent scratching when you remove or reposition it.
Once you’re using it, the experience is meant to be low-faff. The system is described as automatically powering into sleep mode when the screen is off, and switching on when the screen turns on—so you’re not meant to remember to manually switch the camera each time.
There’s also a clear “use it straight away” element: parking lines can be switched on and off, and the display can work in full screen or split screen. If you add a second camera later (the kit supports adding an additional camera, based on the description), it’s aimed at reducing blind areas rather than just giving you a basic rear view.
The image and night view
The camera is listed as 1080P with infrared night vision using 16 infrared LED lights. The claim is that it can capture details such as licence plates, street signs, and passers-by. That’s the right direction for reversing safety, but it’s still a wireless, compact camera system—so actual readability at night tends to depend heavily on lighting and how you park (distance from the target, angle, and whether there are bright streetlights).
Wireless signal range: helpful, but watch the limits
The kit states a wireless distance up to 320ft in open space, with an effective transmission on vehicles of around 40ft. It also mentions an upgraded signal chip designed for stable and fast transmission.
It’s a good sign that the manufacturer provides both “open distance” and “vehicle effective” figures. Still, real-world performance can vary depending on how your vehicle is built (metal shape and interference) and where you mount the camera and monitor. If you regularly reverse from longer distances or across obstacles, you may find it less forgiving than a fully wired setup.
Installation and charging (DIY-friendly, not zero-work)
The product is marketed around portable installation: attach the magnetic camera to a metal surface without wiring. The listing also notes that you can remove and reinstall it on other vehicles or other locations.
For power, it includes a built-in 9600mAh rechargeable battery. Charging can be done via a Type-C power cord or a 5V phone charger. That’s a handy flexibility point for vans and work vehicles where you might have different power sources around.
One practical downside to keep in mind: magnetic mounting is convenient, but it means you’ll likely want to be a bit more disciplined about where you place the camera each time. With any removable mount, double-check alignment so the view is straight and the parking lines (if you use them) actually match your reversing habits.

Who it suits (and who should think twice)
This kit makes a lot of sense if you want a reversing camera you can move between vehicles or mount temporarily, without drilling or running cables. It’s also a good match if you value simple day-to-day operation: auto sleep mode when the screen is off, and auto wake when the screen turns on.
It may not suit you as well if your priority is a totally hassle-free “fit once and never think again” installation, because magnetic mounting and wireless transmission both introduce variables. Also, if you rely on very consistent night-time detail in poor lighting (for example, dark car parks with minimal light), you might find that infrared performance doesn’t always deliver the same level of clarity you’d expect from a higher-end, more optimised camera setup.
Practical example
Imagine you park your van at home and do a quick inspection before backing out. You’ve got the camera snapped into place on a metal area, the monitor is on the dash, and you reverse using the parking lines if you prefer them. When you finish for the day, the screen goes off, and the system is designed to enter sleep mode automatically—so you’re not constantly toggling power.
Mini FAQ
Mini FAQ
Does it need wiring to install?
No—based on the listing, it uses a strong magnetic base so the camera can attach to a metal surface without wiring.
Can the camera be moved to other vehicles?
Yes, the listing describes removable and reinstalled use on other vehicles or locations.
How is the camera powered?
It has a built-in 9600mAh rechargeable battery, and charging can be done with a Type-C power cord or a 5V phone charger.
Will it work at night?
The kit includes 16 infrared night vision LED lights and is described as providing night-time capture, but how sharp details look will depend on your conditions.
Does it include parking lines?
Yes—parking lines can be switched on and off.
Is it worth it?
Worth buying if you want a portable reversing camera solution with a 7” IPS monitor, built-in rechargeable power (9600mAh), and a wireless setup designed to auto-sleep and auto-wake. It’s especially compelling if you’re likely to change vehicles or mount positions, because the magnetic camera approach removes a lot of the usual installation pain.
You may want to skip it if you need maximum reliability at long ranges or you regularly reverse in very dark, low-visibility environments where details like licence plates must be consistently crisp. In that case, it’s worth thinking carefully about wireless effective distance (the listing cites roughly 40ft on vehicles) and how and where you’ll mount the camera for the best view.
