I used this camera with the E-KYLIN Car RCA DC Video Extension Cable for Backup Camera CCTV Security Truck Bus Trailer Reverse Parking System (10 Meters/32 Feet) - 2 in 1 RCA Video & DC Power Cable and with the 7" Monitor Portable-Backlight-Digital 1024x768 Monitor. The cable I needed extra length to go from front of my Xterra to the very back of parents 20ft pop up camper. After wired up using a cigarette lighter for power (12V), I noticed the monitor has vertical lines, then the end of the cameras splitter got extremely HOT to the touch!!!! The cables and monitor should all work together without issues. None of the other wires to and from the monitor etc got hot, just the splitter end of the cameras wires got extremely HOT. I did notice that the camera was returned/used at one time as the plastic packaging for it and the extra extension cable was unwrapped and just lying in the actual box.- but appears that, this might have been the issue it was returned in the first place. So will be returning it for replacement and if the replacement gets hot, will make another purchase of different camera/company. Hope this helps all that are considering this setup with this camera. I did not see any reviews for the hot problem with this camera and possible this one is defective. I wish it was re-tested BEFORE it was shipped back out. I gave it two starts as did what needed it for at moment but would have LOVED to used it the whole time I was traveling without fear of camera catching something on fire or exploding from the extreme heat....
