This little camera works great, even in low light. It has clear distance markers. it has gone through two rain storms and did not fog or sputter.
it works great I got this for my bike as it is a 1400 an top heavy so you cant turn around like on a small one to see whats there
I even put a 7" touch screen with it
Definitely agree with other uses that a little bit of clear caulk/sealant is a good idea around the casing to ensure more of a watertight seal.
Camera works perfectly with 4.3'' Color TFT Car Monitor Support 480 x 272 Resolution (B006MPRFJQ
To test when it first arrives, wire the video inputs to the monitor, and wire together the power cables (red is hot+, black is nuetral-) and press them on to a 9V battery's terminals. May have to cut back some of the insulation around the wire to get good contact with the terminals.
Clarity from this little camera at night is very good, definitely will work perfectly fine for parallel parking at night. Bracket seems sturdy and decently built. Comes with 4 little mounting screws. The camera's angle can be changed by loosening two smaller hex (allen wrench) screws (not included). Hard to see but its where the persons thumb and index finger are in the stock photo.

Better than you would expect for the money, but you still get what you pay for. I would have only given it 3 stars compared to other cameras I've used, but none of the others were this innexpensive.
Pros:
INEXPENSIVE!!!
Looks great
Waterproof out of the box, no sealer necessary
Flexible mounting
Easy to install
Very small
Cons:
Daytime picture is only OK
Low light picture is a joke (nothing but noise on monitor)
Parking guide cannot be turned off and is not adjustable
The shipper was very fast. The camera cables were a little short when installed on 2010 highlander. The pictures in daytime are great. Decent nighttime images but a little washed out/ graininess ( usable though)
The guide lines are a little narrow for the highlander so just be careful when trusting too much to those lines
Will try to clear silicon to protect from water
Haven't used it long enough to comment on reliability but it feels solid- built
i hooked it up to my edge CTS programer in my F150. wires were long enough. everything seems alright. the only thing is that i cant tighten the camera so it cant tilt up or down. so i just glued it in place. great product for the price.
Received it very fast. Item works better than I expect from some of the reviews that I had read posted. I had no problems with it and have been using from the day after I got it had installed it and works beautifully and pretty good at night time. Very clear and picture quality is better than I thought it would be from other cameras I had used in the pass. I highly recommend this item and buying from this seller
Bought this to replace another cheap backup cam. The quality of this one was much better. The metal housing is nice and the heft if it makes it feel like a quality product. Picture quality is good and the viewing angle is nice.
The mounting screws seem a little wimpy, but they seem to do the job. I would probably recommend double sided tape as a mounting option. Installation was easy and straight forward, though the supplied video cable (while very long), wasn't quite long enough to route the way I wanted in my application (mid-sized SUV). Would be fine for a car.
So far so good. I'm very pleased with this purchase and the value seems exceptional when compared to other units that cost 5X as much. I would and already have recommend purchasing this unit.
It's amazing how these little cameras do such a big job. With cars and RV's these cameras help people to see what is behind them especially if they are towing another vehicle. They prevent accidents and a lot of things can go wrong when towing another vehicle. This Esky EC170-08 100% waterproof camera makes it better!, because when you travel you never know what kind of weather your going to run into and to see what's behind you can make a big difference. Cars or trucks sliding towards you gives you a split moment to react to the situation that might save your life and there's. This is the reason I bought this product, because it has already helped me in so many ways. Keep making these cameras!!!!!, because they have reduced accidents that could have costed thousands of dollars. Now, I can't live without one of these camera.
This camera was just what i needed for my Silverado pick up.I was having a problem judging the available distance from my rear bumper to an object behind me and had been coming close to bumping into things. With the camera and the monitor I can now back up more safely.The installation was straight forward with no problems. I would recommend this product highly!
