License Plate Frame Backup Camera Night Vision Car Rear View Camera with 8 Bright LEDs 170° Viewing Angle Waterproof Backup Camera Vehicle Universal Reversing Assist Security

I had previously wired in a backup camera that ended up being defective. As this used the same connectors, installation was very easy as I had already run the wiring so it only come on when in reverse. The thin black frame looks good & does not block any parts of my plate that would be an issue with law enforcement.This provides a good wide field of view. You can adjust the camera angle up & down & then set it in place (my previous one would move on it's own). I have this angled so it just barely shows my bumper on an 04 GMC Yukon (I have an aftermarket stereo that this is connected to the Video IN port). I can also see my hitch when in place so I could use this as a guide for that.The LED's work ok at night by providing visible light, not IR as some do. Not as much light as the reverse lights, but good enough for what is right behind you. The built in green/yellow/red guides work well when backing. As this is not integrated as an OEM one would be, the guides won't turn with your steering wheel.

EDIT: So I am dumb, there is a green wire loop (easily accessed) that you cut to get rid of the guide lines built in to the camera. With that I can use the adjustable lines in my head unit which is quite helpful. 5 stars for this product.ORIGINAL: I have had this installed in my 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis for about 2 years now (plugged into an aftermarket Boss BE7ACP head unit) and it works great. The only reason for the 3 star review is the camera puts in the stupid guide lines for your car which might be useful for smaller cars but mine is so wide they are not accurate and they are not adjustable. My head unit allows for adding some on top of the picture and adjusting them to your car but with these in the background it looks awful. Overall though the camera portion does work so if you don’t mind inaccurate non adjustable guide lines for backing up it would be a good purchase.

This camera works great and installing it or rather, wiring it is pretty straight-forward. However, I have one huge complaint, and that is that in order to get the camera and power connectors into your car’s chassis, you’re going to have to drill a rather large hole. That’s because the end of those wires come with non-removable ends. One is a ¼ inch power-plug, and the other is an RCA video connector. So instead of just having to drill a small hole to get a 16 or 18 gauge wire into the car’s body, you have to drill a much larger opening to get those two plugs through. I wasn’t willing to compromise on that one, so I cut the wires, and re-attached them once behind the license plate panel. I also used a small rubber grommet where I drilled the hole. That serves two purposes… 1) reduces the amount of water that can get in, and 2) prevents the wires from getting damaged by the sharp sheet-metal.Function-wise it great. The most attractive feature is the ability to change the angle of the camera. I would suggest you find the angle that works best for you, and then decide if you’re going to mount it with the camera on top, or on the bottom. I was able to hook it up to an existing rear-view mirror screen on my wife’s car, and since the connections were already there, I had no extra wiring to do for the monitor. However, I do want to point something out. The description on this camera clearly states the resolution as 795*596, which is what you would expect from an RCA cable which is technology designed in the 50s. However, at one point the description says that it has HD night vision, so please don’t confuse that with HD resolution which would be much higher. For the price and its simplicity, this is a really good backup-camera option.

I would highly recommend this camera as a replacement for a factory camera that is damaged or for installing a camera in an older vehicle. This camera has worked extremely well for my '99 F350 Power stroke. I had to install a double din with input for the reverse camera, run the video wire along the frame and hook the power line into the reverse light power so install is heavily dependant on your skill level (especially if you never had a reverse camera before) but the camera itself is extremely easy to install, has great night time illumination and a great picture. Never have to worry about not seeing something run behind me when backing up, and makes coupling horse trailers extremely easy. Just a great camera at a good price point.

I'm not sure if it's a defective one I received. But did not work at all. And my system says the format was supported. But only the lights would come on. It flashed some video for a whole minuet. But nothing now. The lights come on. Very dissapointed

While the back up camera frame was heavy duty and seemed like a decent quality camera. The wiring that came with it was cut in several places and wrapped with electrical tape and missing some connectors. I tried to make it work and splice the cables back together properly the camera would not work total waste of money and very disappointing and frustrating.Update— I was contacted by the sellers who gave me option of a refund or replacement. I choose to give the product another shot just to be sure I didn’t get a fluke. The customer service reps were very nice and apologetic. I will be changing my review to 3 stars because of this. However I have not got the product back to verify it is not the same way as before.

So here is a hint for everyone that purchases this product. When you install it, and it is very easy to install, don't get alarmed if the screen says "No signal" or it appears the camera is not working. On the connection there are two looped wires, one white and one green. If the camera doesn't work after you install it, just cut the white wire...just clip it in half. After that the camera will work great. I have a Boss aftermarket head-unit in my truck and I got the "No Signal" message also. After I cut that wire, everything was great
