These are great little cameras when used in conjunction with Fifth wheel travel trailers. I have installed one of these on the last two units I've owned and they have work flawlessly.Yes you have to run power to the camera and coax cable to the cab but when you consider the cost difference over a wireless system, I saved about $700 for a days work.
These cameras make backing solo into camp sites a very easy task, and it's also good to see if alouf people are walking behind your rig (as they will do) as you try to back down (had this Happen).
I found it reassuring to see out the back when changing lanes during heavy traffic but fundamentally rely on mirrors, it just a good back check.
A small 6 to 7" monitor works great on the dash to make the system complete.
This is the best backup camera I've ever used.
I did take the advice of previous reviewers and use silicone sealant on all of the seams to prevent any possible water intrusion.
I mounted this camera high on my trucks utility box.
Not only do I get a wide-angle horizontal view, but the vertical angle is quite good as well.
The camera provides a usable vertical image from the bumper up to the horizon.
The built in guide marks that superimpose on the monitor are very helpful.
They are as wide as my F-150, and are incremented in one-foot sections out to six feet.
The result is a 'safety box' that I can use to back into tight spots. I can easily tell when I'm getting close to a fence or wall, and whether I have enough width available for the F-150.
If at all possible, mount the camera as high as possible.
I made an enclosure for it out of light gauge aluminum rain-gutter parts from Home Depot. It helps to keep it secure from theft and keeps rain off the lens.
By the way, the backup light provide sufficient illumination for a good picture at night.
Note: I did have to use an extra four feet of cable for the video run to the cab. I have an F-150 with the eight foot bed.
The image of this cam is quite clear and also the night vision works very well. Works great, highly recommended.
Excellent Camera, works great easy installation, sharp clear image and excellent value; have recommended this product twice since the installation.
Thanks TK
Very nice camera, didnt know that it had the back up zone lines on the camea so was very happy about that. Camera is very clear and picks up fairly decent at night. the mount is nice however the metal screws on the hinge is a little on the weak side and they did come apart but was easily fixed. product came in a reasonable time and was in perfect shape. the wiring for this camera was very easy as well.
Nice camera. It has a clear picture even in low light. The wide viewing angle is excellent. Small profile looks good.
Im giving it 4 stars only because the 2 screw holes that hold it from going up and down were stripped. They need to ad some little washers and nuts /screws
But everything else is perfect so far. Simple to install good quality. Great low price love the parking assist lines and install in about 10-15 minutes depends if you slack like i do but all in all very good product despite the screw thing.
Works great, especially for the price. I might even use it to spy on my dogs outside or see who's at my front door.
Got this camera for around $20 for my toyota sequoia and I believe it is a very nice piece for what I paid for. it is practically 5 times cheaper than known brands ones
Used it as a back up camera. Wish leads were longer . Easy to mount and great picture. Highly recommended
