Description
Dual-lens coverage for trailers and caravans with IP69K protection for Australian conditions.
Product Overview
The Mongoose MC105 is a dual-lens AHD camera system designed for heavy-duty reversing and perimeter surveillance on caravans, trailers, trucks, and commercial vehicles. Featuring a high-performance 1/2.9" GC2053 CMOS sensor, this camera delivers Full HD 1080p video (1920×1080) at 30fps through two independent lenses with selectable 100° wide-angle or 80° standard viewing angles. Built to IP69K waterproof standards with 10G vibration resistance, it survives high-pressure wash-downs, corrugated roads, and extreme Australian weather. The integrated 12 IR LEDs provide night vision down to 0.1 Lux illumination, while the built-in microphone captures ambient audio for complete situational awareness. Ideal for caravan installations where one lens monitors ground clearance at the rear while the second lens faces the road for reversing, this surface-mount camera connects via standard 4-pin aviation connector to AHD-compatible monitors and DVRs.

Features & Benefits
Dual Independent Lens Configuration for Complete Coverage – Two separate lenses provide simultaneous views at different angles: mount one facing downward to monitor trailer coupling or ground clearance, while the second lens faces rearward for reversing, eliminating blind spots that single-camera systems create.
Selectable 100° or 80° Viewing Angles – Choose wide 100° panoramic view for broad situational awareness during reversing, or focused 80° angle for detailed view of specific areas like caravan door zones or loading ramps, providing flexibility for different vehicle types and mounting positions.
IP69K Rating for High-Pressure Wash-Down Survival – Exceeds IP68 waterproof standards to withstand direct high-pressure, high-temperature jet washing common in commercial vehicle cleaning, agricultural equipment maintenance, and mining operations where standard IP67 cameras fail catastrophically.
10G Vibration Resistance for Corrugated Roads – Engineered to survive constant vibration from corrugated outback tracks, rough worksite conditions, and heavily-loaded trailer travel that destroys consumer-grade cameras through connection failures and internal component damage.
12 IR LEDs with 0.1 Lux Low-Light Performance – Delivers clear night vision for reversing in unlit camping areas, boat ramps, worksites, and rural properties where ambient lighting is non-existent, preventing the reversing accidents that occur when cameras lose image in darkness.
Built-In Microphone for Audio Monitoring – Captures ambient sound for reversing safety compliance and incident documentation, allowing drivers to hear reversing beepers, ground crew warnings, or unusual sounds that indicate mechanical issues or obstacles outside camera view.
GC2053 CMOS Sensor for True 1080p Quality – High-performance 2-megapixel sensor delivers crisp Full HD video without the upscaling and interpolation common in cheap "1080p" cameras that use lower-resolution sensors, ensuring number plates and obstacle details remain readable.
PAL Standard Output for Australian Compatibility – Factory configured for PAL 50Hz video standard used in Australian monitors and DVRs, eliminating compatibility issues and image distortion from NTSC cameras imported from North American markets.
600mm Cable with Aviation Connector – Includes 600mm cable terminated with robust 4-pin aviation connector providing weather-sealed connection for power, video, and audio signals, with sufficient length for surface mounting without immediate need for extension cables.
Surface Mount U-Bracket for Easy Angle Adjustment – Adjustable mounting bracket allows fine-tuning of camera angle after installation using included hex key and M4 screws, accommodating different vehicle mounting surfaces and desired viewing positions without camera removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does dual lens mean and how do I use both?
This camera has two independent lenses viewing at different angles. Mount it so one lens faces downward (for ground clearance/coupling) while the other faces rearward (for reversing), giving you two views simultaneously.
What monitor do I need for this AHD camera?
You need an AHD-compatible monitor or DVR that accepts 1080p AHD input. Standard analog composite monitors won't display the full 1080p resolution from this camera.
Will this survive caravan or trailer travel on corrugated roads?
Yes, the 10G vibration rating and IP69K waterproof specification are specifically designed for heavy-duty applications including rough Australian outback conditions and constant vehicle vibration.
How do I switch between the 100° and 80° viewing angles?
The dual lens design provides both angles simultaneously through two separate lenses. You don't switch between them; both views are available at once for different coverage areas.
Can this camera be washed with a pressure washer?
Yes, IP69K rating means it survives high-pressure, high-temperature wash-downs that would destroy standard IP67 or IP68 cameras, making it suitable for commercial vehicle cleaning.
