I have this unit installed on a 2007 Nissan Titan. The cables that came with it were long enough to run under the vehicle and through the firewall to my head unit. I read some of the other reviews before purchasing and planned ahead of time to seal the unit with clear glass silicone available at my local auto parts store. I did that and it has worked good now for 3 months... in stormy weather and dusty Oklahoma roads. The picture it produces on my pioneer head unit it good and color with the distance bars that help. I would definitely purchase again and recommend for the price. later.
I had ordered and received this product very fast but once I installed it I noticed that it wasn't working like it should. The seller was fantastic with communication and resolve, at this point they have refunded my money in full and I look forward to doing business with them again. Hands down one of the best if not the best sales experience I've ever had.
This tiny camera supplies a great view. The camera is truly 170 degree view. I had my g/f stand off about 5 to the side of the truck at only about 1 behind and the camera was still able to see her. The hardest part about mounting the camera was picking the right location. As you'll see from the pictures, I think I found the perfect spot where it is not easily visible keeping thieves away, yet, allow me to back up to my trailer and get close enough to mounting without having to get out of the truck 2-3 times. It is also protected by the receiver bracket putting it out of harms way. The instructions were of very little to no help, however, it was very easy to install. I already knew where the power was going to come from, reverse light wire, and the ground was easy enough. The yellow RCA cable connects to the monitor. It was long enough, with plenty to spare to run it from the receiver, under the truck (2000 GMC Sierra 1500 Ext Cab) tucking it away along side the chassis, and routing it under the cab. I ran the RCA cable into the cab through the shifter linkage bushing, under the carpet, up the inside of the left side panel next to the hood release, and up by the fuse panel along the rubber molding and squeeze by dash panel to mount the Monitor on the dash. Backing up to the trailer or into a parking spot has never been easier. Good luck
Nice camera for the money. Installed easily and provides a good picture. My mounting location was not ideal (to low) but works none the less. Great add-on item.
This is what exactly I was looking for. this camera works very well. I purchased this along with the Abco Tech 4.3 Inch TFT Car Auto LCD Screen Rear Monitor View Rearview DVD AV Mirror. Both of them work a perfect.
I needed something for my F250 xtra cab after backing into my wifes car. The picture is great and for the price I don't have any complaints. Really don't know how it can be improved, picture is wide and clear. Works for me. As a precaution I did silicon where I thought it might be a problem. Time will tell. So far so great.
~ It is a good backup camera, especially for the price. I had previously bought the non-"2013 upgraded version" and it fogged up as soon as I washed my car.
~ Recently bought this "2013 upgraded version", however I covered all of the potential leak areas with clear silicone in order to assure this lens wouldn't fog up again. Haven't had a problem after washing the car several times. Seems like it's going to work out just fine.
~ Video quality is actually better than expected (my Pioneer screen is probably even limiting the quality). Also, it keeps the image surprisingly bright (in a good way) even when it's getting dark in the afternoon.
this camera is something else it has the green yellow and red parking grid built in so you know were you are and wont back over anything. its small with a very big view and easy to install love it
The camera is good, though I ended up replacing this camera and a couple of other low-cost 170 degree cameras with a more expensive Boyo camera that has a better field of view. Something that took me a while to figure out is that the 170 degree measurement is the diagonal view, not the horizontal. This is analogous to the way that TV screens are specified by their diagonal dimension. The horizontal field of view for this camera appears to be around 120 degrees.
Slick - almost too small! I'll have to build brackets for my application, 8^)
As to it's weather resistance, I do not anticipate any problems, but only time will tell.
