Waterproof IP68 Night Vision Car Rear View Reverse Backup Camera 170 Degree Universal Color CMOS Imaging Chip Reversing Camera Parking HD Front View Camera

I installed this along with a Pioneer NEX head unit in my wife's 2012 Beetle, and so far, so good. She didn't even ask for a backup camera, but I saw this and thought for $12, why not? The build and image quality seem as good as the factory camera our other car. Night image is fine for the intended purpose of parking and not hitting stuff. The included wiring is excellent - the long line to run from the dash to the back includes not just the video cable, but also a 20 gauge insulated red wire to use for the install without having to run a separate wire. You can use the long wire to connect the head unit's reverse trigger wire to back-up light wire at one of the taillight assemblies (with the camera power wire going to the same wire). Or, if your head unit has some other way to tell the car is in reverse (like a wire in the harness for that purpose, or a dedicated back-up light fuse to tap into), you can use the long wire to power the camera directly from the head unit's 12V switched power line, so that the camera is on whenever the car is, and you can use it even when not in reverse if your head unit supports that.. Anyway, nice unit, - highly recommended. If it stops working prematurely, I'll come back to update.

I have ordered and installed another brand back up camera. One month after installation, the camera became so blurry that I cannot use it. So, I purchase this one to replace the camera part. I installed on 2015 Nissan Altima S2.5. The connector does not matching with the old connector I had. But no big deal, a couple of soldering and it is done. I drilled a hole on the Chrome Trunk Lid Trim to install the camera. The result: this camera is 100 times better than my previous one. 1. Angle: I did not actually measure the angle. However, it is genuinely wide on both horizontal and vertical. I consider this is the most important feature because I install backup camera for the safety reason. This camera definitely giving enough angles. 2. Picture: The picture quality is very good. It is definitely an HD quality. Aldo, the color is good. 3. Low light condition: This camera does a decent job under low light condition. For a small camera like this, I did not see a lot of grainy effect under low light. Overall, I enjoy this camera a lot. Thanks for the good product.

I've had this camera on my car since last fall, and I really like the way it mounts, it's different from other cameras. I ended up gluing it to a ledge above my license plate, but of course you can drill a hole and mount it into the back of your car, and possibly mount it in a hole in your license plate if you don't want to drill a hole in your car, and your state allows that. Installation is easy, there is a quick connect plug so you can wire the camera and front wiring separately and plug it in towards the rear of the car. I have the positive 12v wire going to the reverse wire on my stereo which go to the reverse light and the black wire to ground so the camera is only powered when I am in reverse. Some people may want the camera on all the time, this is just how I did it. The camera turns on quickly and you can choose to have parking lines on the screen, or cut a small wire and those lines go away. You can also reverse the image by cutting a different wire. This camera is fairly waterproof and has made it through a fairly rough winter and the lens didn't fog up at all, which is an issue I've had with other backup cameras. Overall, I'm happy with this one. Quality is good considering it's the standard composite video. I'm not sure why car stereos don't have HDMI inputs yet. I'm sure that will come eventually, which will greatly improve the quality of these cameras. The lenses are good but the video signal can only output something like 525 lines of resolution over composite video so it looks blurry on larger displays. The 170 degree angle is nice. I prefer a wider angle for parking, you can see both sides of the bumper and all around your car so you which helps when backing up.

Very nice for a great price.

I install a lot of back up cameras for car dealerships and retail customers, adding them to existing factory radio screens or aftermarket radios. I’ve been using this camera for a while. The price point is excellent, quality/durability seem good and the picture quality is excellent. No comebacks or DOAs so far. My initial complaint was that the primary camera cable is a too short. Like most cameras, it has a two-piece cable: a short harness from the camera with a skinny 4-pin connector (which is only about 3’ long), which connects to a longer power/rca harness which then travels to the front of the vehicle/radio . This is fine for trunk installations, but if you’re doing a hatchback or SUV with a liftgate, the 3’ camera harness is not nearly long enough to route through the rubber boots and into the vehicle itself. This means you have to take the longer RCA/power harness and work it through the rubber boot from the inside of the car into the hatchback and connect it there to the camera harness. Working that fat RCA connector through a rubber grommet can be a major pain on some vehicles. Most professional cameras that I use have a camera harness that is twice as long, making it easy to run the small four pin connector into the vehicle, and connect it to the RCA/Power harness at that point. Today I ran into a second issue: working on three different Toyota vehicles at the same location, I could not get the camera to work at all! I thought “Surely I can’t have a batch of bad cameras”? After a bit of detective work I determined that the camera must have a full 12 V of power supply to it, even though it has a voltage regulator built-in to cut the power down (presumably to 6 V like most cameras). The power output on most factory radio’s (Toyota in this case) for camera trigger is only about 6 V. That will not turn this camera on! So I have to do some extra wiring to run the camera power wires to a 12 v Power source, something I never have to do with more professional grade camera’s (which cost twice as much). So bear that in mind. So far I do recommend it but it does have a few shortcomings.

Right off the bat, this is a good camera. It is super tiny, like smaller than a quarter in surface area. Video quality is excellent for this price, and although I haven't tried it at night, I think it will be fine with the reverse light illumination. Downside is that I wanted a tailgate mount and couldn't find one. So I had to take this one apart and flip the imager 180 degrees. I learned quickly it is well built and highly waterproofed. The entire inside is full of a rubberized goo that is hard to remove. I was able to move it and flip the imagery, but I don't recommend doing this. Do more research and buy the proper camera. Mine might not last the test of time because of this modification. **Update** This camera has lasted almost three years now with no issue. I still recommend it.

I installed the camera on my bullbar as a forward facing camera and connected it to my Kenwood headunit. The camera works fine for about 1 minute and then goes into an ON OFF loop. If the camera is left for several minutes it will work fine again for 1 minute then goes back into its ON OFF loop. I found the very small black electrical connector that connects the camera to the main harness gets quite hot. A quick check shows it draws approx. 300mA. Not sure if this is good or back.

works with all sony head units , mine xav-ax8000 , the quality is cheap also has the annoying fish eye effect it was a hussle to install it

لا انصح …كاميرا جداً بسيطة والصوره غير واضحة كأنها موديل قديم

The visibility of this camera is not clear and the image is blurry, so it will have to be returned.
