eRapta HD 1080P Backup Camera,AHD Compatible,License Plate Rear View Camera for Car

Good camera, responsive customer support; I just received this camera and had some difficulty getting it to connect. eRapta's customer support provided timely and thorough information, camera now works as designed. NOTE: If your display is CVBS only, you'll need to snip the small blue wire at the camera end of the RCA cable to receive the signal at the display end. AND ALSO: CVBS does not receive 1080p resolution, so this camera is overkill for these displays, resolution-wise , but other features might be of interest to you.

First of all the description claims to have a quality of 1080p, but in practice it looks very grainy and much closer to 480p. Second and most importantly of all, the item description claims to have IP69 water resistance. For context an IP69 rating entails "To achieve an IP69 rating, devices must pass rigorous testing, including a jet spray test with high-pressure water and a steam cleaning test to ensure they can withstand the harsh conditions without damage.". So one would think that given this rating the camera is water resistant, especially given that this is an outdoor camera that will be exposed to the elements on the outside of your car. However, despite this "IP69" rating on the camera, today on my FIRST time driving in the rain, the camera stopped working altogether. The item description is very misleading and being advertised as "waterproof" is just flat out wrong. All it took was a drizzle and a gust of wind to completely knock this camera out of function. All in all, the camera has stopped working and I'm very disappointed with my purchase. And after trying to get in contact with customer support nobody has the solution, and I lost my money.

I replaced my old backup camera with wireless receivers with this. It is much more stable and clear. I prefer this wired camera. No more flaky pictures due to weak signal. The lens is better than the old camera producing better image. Installation is easy. You just solder the leads to their relevant power source and it turns on right away!

The camera I installed is not the 1080P I ordered because the radio in my car does not accept "Analog High Definition" (AHD) signal (like most other radios on the market). I did not know this when I ordered the camera, so when I initially installed it the first time, I got a "NO SIGNAL" message on the screen after putting the car in reverse. Nevertheless, I wrote to eRapta and their customer support representative immediately dispatched a 720P camera that she said would work. I received the replacement camera a couple of days later and installed it immediately. I am very happy with the results as the picture is very clear and bright (photos attached). But specially, I am very happy with the support I received from Nicolle, eRapta's customer service representative; she has been following up with me to make sure that I am completely satisfied. And I am. If you are planning on installing a backup camera in your car and use it with your existing radio, DO NOT order a 1080P camera because it will most likely not work. 1080P cameras have to be ordered together with a monitor that will accept the high definition 1080p signal. eRapta has several kits that include high-definition monitors and come with 1080P cameras. Very good products!

Horrible. Doesn't work out of the box. Won't refund my money. No customer service. Scam company. Do not buy.

This camera was fairly easy to install. It has built in LED lighting for extra illumination when reversing. It also has wire loops that can be cut to enable/disable the backup camera lines, and to mirror the image for use as front or rear parking camera. I’m super happy with the unit and would purchase it again without hesitation!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Bought this camera several months ago. Just got around to installing. Connected to new Kenwood head unit. Installations was smooth. Connect RCA to head unit. Red & Black leads at the camera to REVERSE light and Ground. With vehicle in Reverse, LEDs light up but no video. My Reverse lights are ON. I tried both with connecting and not connecting the trigger wire. Makes no difference. Sent email to erapta support and erapta sale 2 weeks ago. No response. I really wish they would offer some assistance. Too late to for Return window from AMAZON.

I bought the “Dark Black” AHD 1080p upgraded camera version( new head unit supports AHD 1080P25 and 1080P30 and 720P25/30). However the camera sent did not have the blue wire in the item description and only worked in the AHD 720P30 mode of the head unit. It seemed like the regular “Black” camera was sent so I requested a replacement which was promptly sent. Unfortunately it was identical to the unit previously delivered. I hope it is the better camera as it also is supposed to have better waterproofing. Functionally the image is sharp and clear.
