Backup Camera and Monitor Kit for Car/MPV/Pickup/Truck/SUV,Universal Wired Waterproof Rear-View 2-Installation Car Rear Backup Camera + 4.3 LCD Rear View Monitor

I'll start this off saying I was looking for the most inexpensive backup camera available, so there's my bias. And for the cost, this camera set up definitely delivers. Setup could be a bit easier if the instructions were more detailed. For instance, the instructions make no mention of the power line that has a small ground wire attached. I've since figured out that it's to reduce interference but it would be nice to have the manual match what's included in the box. I also wish there was a way to turn off the backup red-yellow-green on-screen indicators because I find them completely useless and would like the pixels back for the camera. And lastly, I wish the screen said "no signal" or something when it's not getting a signal. I had a problem where the screen was just dark when it was supposed to be on and I first started troubleshooting power when it ended up being the signal wire. If there was a "no signal" display I would know it's a signal problem and not a power problem. Also the included mounting screws ended up rusting in under 3 weeks so don't use those, get some nice stainless ones.I can probably nitpick for awhile, but I am satisfied. I hope the seller just uses my feedback for future revisions. I think for the cost, it works great, the resolution is fine, the brightness is solid, and I like the other display settings (contrast, tint, etc).Oh and one last thing, the image is mirror-image (right-to-left) flipped on the camera. At first it puzzled me but then I realized that makes sense, all backup cams do (even the manufacturer integrated ones). It's so when you are driving (facing forward) and looking at it, objects on the right side of the screen will be on the right side of the car and vice versa.

Camera was so smallEasy to hook upPicture quality just fineI hooked this up to my work truck and it will do the trick just fine, we'll have to see it it works ok in the wee hours of the morning before the sun is up, hopefully the reverse lights will make it bright enough to see. Still can't believe how tiny the camera is...amazing

Had tested similar products that didn’t work, but the stars were aligned for this product.Camera is really compact and can be installed in license plate light box. Pretty easy install- Took 45 min (I already checked wiring to the license plate circuit otherwise would have taken longer.) Leds are brights so should work well at night.I mounted monitor where I can see next to the instrument gauges. Decent resolution and no problems so far.instructions are sparse so it takes some common sense and tools. Once you figure out wiring diagram, check the monitor and camera turn on a 12v power source (for me, extra car battery- carefully!). Important thing to do in all these installs is to find a good ground line. On the camera side, it’s the ground to the reverse light. On the monitor side, you need to have mounted everything and turned on car’s light you wired to... then tap the ground wire on metal fittings until the monitor turns on (it was the metal case of the stereo head unit.)

Lucky for me I tested it before installing. The image on the screen is garbled junk. Totally useless.

Lights on camera all went out after a month or so but it still works the same I guess and the picture is decent. I wish they would simplify the wiring, there are 2 ways you can wire it and it makes it complicated.

Good for the price

This is my first backup camera and I'm glad I got it. I have a Chevy Equinox, and the strip camera blocked the trunk handle. I notified the company and they sent me a smaller one that attaches to just 1 bolt, and let me keep the other camera which I use for the front license plate (it really helps when turning into a blind spot).They get 5 stars all around for high quality and low price, and customer service.**If you read your little insert they give you, they offer something free. You get a choice between another camera, or a dual cigarette lighter plug, and I think something else.The video quality is amazing, and both cameras have really nice night vision. The strip camera version is a bit better there because of the infrared lights, but even the single screw mount night vision is pretty good. Several times I've had to get out of my car to check to see if there was an actual light shining behind me (I was concerned it might distract other drivers) but there wasn't.I am a novice when it comes to electrical work, but using the illustrations in the manual, I was able to install it with ease. The hardest part was taking off the panel for my Equinox. Chevy really blew it with that model.For the older people, the monitor is a little bigger than a cassette tape. It sounds small, but the quality is so good, you hardly notice.

Ive installed a dozen or so of these back-up cameras in various vehicles over the years. This one installed the same. Pretty easy. The picture quality is horrendous, though. Im not sure if thats on the camera end or the monitor is responsible, but the video quality of this combination harkens back to 1969. Like, astronauts broadcasting from the moon.
