Backup Camera for Car HD 1080P Truck Rear View Camera with 4.3 Inch Monitor,Easy Installation System for SUVs,Vans,LED Lights Clear Night Vision,DIY Guide Lines - AMTIFO A2

  I own two of these camera kits, as well as a third from the same company that is a "wireless" version that connects to a screen in a rear-view mirror. look in the mirror All of them appeal to me, and I believe they are well worth the money (note that I did not say "cheap"). To me, low-cost denotes low-quality. (The wireless one is a little more "finicky," and may flicker for a few seconds when in reverse, and has picked up other wireless signals at random, but I still like it and think it works well. ) I've postponed my review until I've had a chance to use it and evaluate it. There hasn't been anything wrong with the function or operation so far. For your viewing pleasure, I've included some photos and a short video. Allow me to give you my overall feedback before I break down the review into Pros and Cons: I've been driving cars and trucks for a long time without cameras, and I've never backed into anything or anyone. So, why did you get the camera in the first place? Because it has the potential to make a significant difference. Take a look at the photos I took of a child riding his trike behind my van at night. Without the camera, there's no way I'd have noticed that. So far, this has proven to be very effective, and I am pleased with the results. Advantages: br>br> br>Works great at night, almost as if it were day. br>Good displaybr>Does what it says on the tin. br>Mostly easy to install (mostly - (See "Cons" below. )br>Inexpensivebr>Has performed admirably thus far. br>Comes equipped with a distance meter - This worked fine for me, but there is one quirk: the lines don't move on the screen, so if the camera is pointed higher up, they don't align or work properly. The camera must be pointed in the right direction. I recommend experimenting and fine-tuning until you find the right balance. Cons: br>Clear videobr>br> br>Some of the wires in the kit are extremely thin. I believe it would be far better if they provided a larger gauge wire. br>The wiring on this is a little strange (at least in my mind). The yellow video VGA style plug has a red "flier" wire on both sides, and I'm an experienced Electronics Technician who works with stuff like this all the time. I thought they were wired together, but they aren't. Why not connect this flier wire to your reverse light signal wire once, near your reverse lights/license plate, and tie the other end into the same signal wire, but up by your dashboard, where it is easier (usually) to get to, and run that signal along or inside the VGA wire that has to go up there anyway? That is precisely what I have done. I ran some extra wire from the "flier" wire in the back of my vehicle all the way up to the front, where it's plugged into the monitor, and used it to connect to both the opposite end "flier" wire and the monitor's power supply. Maybe I'll make a schematic and post it here later, but doing it that way made a lot more sense to me, so I did it that way, and it works great. br>br>And that's all there is to it. Simple, straightforward, low-cost, and practical. Is there anything else you might require?.

The screen has excellent clarity, and installation was simple. The backup guidelines are a nice bonus that I didn't expect. The screen fits perfectly on the sun visor, so it doesn't take up too much space on the dashboard; we simply flip the visor down when we need it. The product was delivered quickly and in good condition. I'd suggest it.

So far, it appears to be working perfectly, and I am glad I purchased it. Depending on what I'm doing, I've been able to use the camera in the front or back of my cab tractor to get a better view of the ground. When I'm driving in reverse, it allows me to see what's going on behind me without having to constantly look back or into my rearview mirrors. I've also used it in front of my tractor when sitting my pastures and fields to ensure that I don't hit any wild life, such as fawns, who will simply sit there if you don't see them, and you know what happens next. Anyway, I like the setup and would recommend it to anyone looking for additional viewing options because it works well. br>After I have it permanently mounted, I'll post some photos. Wiring is also simple, and I'm using a 12v cigarette lighter extension that I purchased on Amazon as well. When I want it on, I simply plug it in, and when I don't, I simply unplug it. It's that simple.

The camera is attached to the license plate's top two bolts. The camera was powered by the reverse lights, and the monitor was powered by my dome/accessory lights. When I put my van in reverse, I also have it set up to switch from the DVD player in Video 1 to the Backup Camera in Video 2. This unit gives me a lot more peace of mind when I'm backing up. They must now be installed in all newer cars, trucks, and vans sold in the United States. It's an excellent safety feature!.
