Observed that back-up alert starts beeping the moment I put the reverse gear even when there is no object behind. What is the solution?

First, clean the sensors. They are the two round faces that are on each end of the license plate bracket. If that doesn't help, adjust the sensors up a bit until the beeping has stopped when you first place your car in reverse.

Hopkins has had some issues that cause a variety of problems. They have been very helpful in exchanging units at no cost and I believe they have resolved the issue. Simply contact them and they will assist you with exchanging for a new unit. FYI - you only have to change out the rear (camera) unit, not the monitor. Hope this helps.

Beeping happens only when u first place it on to the base, after that there are no more beeping.

You can't prevent this of course, and most certainly the device warning you is likely the device causing the issue. That said if this is a concern for you and you are willing to invest a bit more you can install a remote start alarm with the cellular service add-on. If I am out for an extended period of time and should I receive an alert I can remotely start the car and let the battery charge back up. Not the cheapest approach but it works.

The first thing is why in the world would you take it apart. I have no answer for you Except to un plug it and the beep will stop.

When wired properly, anytime the vehicle is placed in reverse the camera comes on. Camera turns off once taken out of gear

Its hard to explain...its a very low pitch beeping, almost like when batteries are dying in a toy. Thats the best I can explain it. Hope it helps.

I've also had this issue...it's very annoying, those loud beeps as soon as you turn it on. I'd love to know if this can be remedied as well!

Not sure, I haven't had that issue. I installed mine so that it only comes on when in reverse. You may possibly have some kind of issue with your connections.

just open tail light lens and pull out bulb , the backup one and put in BACK-UP ALERT BEEPER BULB ,that's all you do . it will work.

It does beep when you turn it on. So turning it off and then on again could help you.

If you have two sticks of memory try taking one out and start it. If it beeps again try the other stick. Repeat for each stick if more

It's relatively easy to disable if you're motivated (I was), thus: 1. Put the cover on the unit and turn it over. 2. Remove the four screws securing the back panel. 3. Find the beeper. It's on the other side of the PC board, but you'll see a circle on the near side, labeled BZ on mine. 4. The beeper has two traces, one to a resistor and one to a transistor (R9 & Q2 on mine). Cut one of them with an Xacto knife or the like, taking care not to cut anything else. I found the trace to Q2 to be better exposed. The trace is copper, which is soft and easy to cut. 5. Test it before you reattach the rear panel, to make sure you completely cut the trace. Alternatively, if you have a soldering iron handy, just remove R9. If you ever want the beep back (why?), it's easier to reattach R9 than to fix the cut trace (though that's not hard either; just scrape it clean on both sides and solder a short bridge of wire across the gap, or forget the wire and bridge it with a blob of solder.

I'm sorry but I checked tell instruction manual and there is nothing about the beeping. Mine is loud enough to hear even in the next room with noises in the background.

Can't really add much to other answers - never had this problem with mine - I agree that it must be the battery. Is it installed properly? If it's giving a short beep every 20 seconds - it's definitely the battery.

Not sure what you mean by beeping. I don't know about audio since I was alone. Do you mean beeping while backing up? If so, I don't know but I don't think so. I mounted this inside my RV and it used out the window as a rear view mirror. It was not connected to the taillights, just connected through cable to monitor which was plugged in to battery. I did not drive at night except for 1 night for a few minutes. A bright led light came on which negated its usefulness. As a rear view mirror, it was outstanding. It gives a good view about 40 yards, though things are closer than they appear. It gave an exceptional view of the lanes either side of my towed vehicle.

for me, the beeping noise is that it's lost connection to the camera. try turning the camera on and off again. If that doesn't work, call customer service.

Agree with Jenny and others. Hold the top/12:00 button, hear one beep, then keep holding, you'll hear a second, different beep. It is now powered down.
