HD Backup Camera,Metal Housing 170 Degree Wide View Angle License Plate Rear View Camera for Car,Clear Night Vision IP69 Waterproof Rearview Universal Reverse Cam Kit for Vehicle SUV RV Pickup

I previously installed an aftermarket Kenwood stereo in my 2003 Ford Expedition, and I also installed 4 cameras and a video switcher to allow me to have great visibility while driving. I particularly love the cameras under the side view mirrors that automatically appear on the screen when the turn signals are activated. However, the backup camera started cutting out and frequently would not show an image at all. I tried to replace just the camera with a 2nd one of the same model that I had for a different project, but it appears my issue was in the wiring between the camera and the display. This is a bit of an involved installation as I had to disassemble most of the tailgate, run the video wire through the factory grommet which doesn't have much space (dish soap was very helpful to lubricate the grommet and wire), and then route the wire from the back of the vehicle to the front hiding it under the door jambs and through the dash to the display. It took me a few hours to do all of that, but the new camera worked perfectly. The quality of the image is very good, and the cost of the unit was very competitive. I appreciate the multiple mounting options, and I chose to attach it to the rear of the license plate using the provided bracket. It looks great and doesn't interfere with the latch for opening the tailgate. We have had a couple of rainstorms, and the waterproofing of the camera seems to be as expected with no issues. I recommend this camera to anyone looking to add a new camera or replace a defective aftermarket unit!

Solid back-up camera. Comes with an 8 meter RCA + Power cable, and the camera side has its own cable which is also about a meter long. I've installed 2 of these now on full size trucks. I like that the license plate bracket tucks behind the license plate so the install looks tidy and clean. The only feature I can't commend on is the AHD resolution as neither of the head units I used support it. However the "normal" lower resolution looks good. The night vision is effective. The only suggestion I would make for improvement is to also include a ground along with the power on the 8 meter cable. As it comes you either need to ground the camera somewhere within about a meter of where you mount it, or you'll need to provide your own extra ground wire to extend it. Personally I prefer to grab my power and ground both at the dashboard rather than grounding with a self-tapper somewhere at the back of the vehicle.

Great camera. Super easy to set up and provides amazing picture quality

I picked up this HD backup camera to add to one of my vehicles, and it ended up working really well. The metal housing feels solid and much better than the cheap plastic ones I’ve used before. Installation was simple, and the license-plate mount lined up without any issues. The picture quality is surprisingly clear for the price — both during the day and at night. The wide 170° angle gives a good view behind the vehicle without distorting everything. It also handles rain and car washes with no problems so far thanks to the waterproof design. Overall, it’s a solid, affordable upgrade if you need a reliable backup camera that’s easy to install and built to last.

This is a review for the HD05 Camera (w/license plate bracket). I've not been paid nor incentivized to provide review. Rarely do I write reviews, but I feel this product (and Seller) deserve one. 5 star+ I knew little to anything about aftermarket reverse cameras as I've had various fty. installed cameras (since 2006). In other words, I've never had to look for (nor hv. experience with quality of) an aftermarket camera. However, I do hv. a vehicle without any reverse camera, and when my HU (aka radio) needed replacement and the new HU had an option to add cameras I figured let me add a reverse camera. So I began researching the myriad options on Amazon. So many looked to have similar function/image quality (as well as similar issues like fogging or water damage after time). So how is one to choose?! Of course the experience with Seller (aka reviews) could be important (after all if such product fails down the road e.g. fog/water you need a good seller to back it). However, what immediately caught my attention here what that the Seller (or maker) claimed to have studied the many camera options & issues but more importantly found a way to distinguish their item from (most of) the rest. Whereas most if not all similar items on Amzn are plastic housing, theirs was METAL. The watertight seal (nano technology) also seemed to focus on the main quality/defect issues (fog/water damage over time). The claim (and sounds legitimate) is that plastic contracts/expands with weather over time compromising a camera's seal (whereas metal doesn't). That's prob. true (depends on metal type also) and only time will tell if this camera holds up (better) b/c I just installed it a few days ago. When I removed the product from box, I immediately noticed the quality feel and weight of the item (just as others). In fact, the weight makes it lightly that it's steel or similar (rather than aluminum), so if contracts or expands at all (over time) steel (I believe) will be less apt (if at all) to change (and certainly to warp). Too technical, sorry. Let's get to the point. Installation wasn't the easiest (at least for me) but the hardest (aka time consuming) part is really running the wiring from the HU to back. The 4 pin (red) connecter is great b/c it allows just a small(er) hole to be made near license plate. Make sure you connect the ground wire (see instructions) securely to a good bolt affixed to car. That will make the difference between a great picture and poor (or no) picture. Don't ask how I know :( In doing research about wiring cams, (especially in cars with Canbus), it's highly recommended to get power to camera using a stable constant 12V source (ex. cig lighter wire or tap a fuse, etc.), RATHER than powering it strictly from the reverse wire (near blub or elsewhere). You did this by way of a relay (search web). The reverse wire serves (only) as a trigger to close the relay so that the 12V stable power source from elsewhere (which is also connected to relay, then provides the screen its power (not the reverse wire....that's just the trigger). You will get best picture this way. This step may or may not be necessary on your car (some can get away with using the reverse wire directly for both power and trigger and without buying a spearate relay to wire up as described). I didn't finish wiring by relay b/c a little bit more time consuming and found that when I grounded well the reverse wire (alone) as power provided an acceptable picture for me. Picture is excellent on this camera. Plenty bright at night too (and I don't hv. LED reverse lights)! Seller is fantastic!!! Alice answers promptly always, great attitude and was able to help (even above the call of duty) when I was having an issue. They are there to back the product, no question! Great experience so far! Buy it; it's great and seller is great!

Works as described and a lot better video quality than the kenwood camera I previously purchased.

I'm not sure how I can ask the seller a question so I do this as a review. I installed the camera and everything is fine except that the guidance lines are pointing slightly up in the air. I can't figure out how to adjust the lines. The camera can only be adjusted up and not down on the bracket. Please advise what I need to do please

I bought this camera to install in my Ford F250 and connect to Pioneer AVH-240EX head unit. I was really amazed with the quality of the video and ease of installation, the connector is very small and easy to pass through a tiny holes. It comes with all the tools required for installation and long enough wire for installing in longer vehicles. Included instructions are very clear and easy to follow. After sales support is excellent. I am very satisfied with the product, support and the over all build quality. Great buy for this price.

Usually don’t write reviews but this camera was easy to install and worked brilliantly with a KENWOOD deck. Nice and clear image. Instructions were good as well. Best part is that it’s small so is easy to install in tight areas and comes with different mounting options as well.

I just installed this in a 2007 Toyota Matrix. Mostly the install was pretty easy but a bit of work. I had to pull the lift hatch interior pannel part way and snake a fine cable to pull the camera harness through to the rubber boot at the top of the hatch. I wish the wire from the camera was another 6 inches longer as I would have been able to feed it through the boot but I wound up having to feed the female 4 pin through it and that was quite tight getting it through but with a little lube I managed to get it through. Took my trigger power from the tail light and to make this an easy splice I removed the 3 -10 mm nuts an pulled the tail light. The rest of the install was pretty simple. I recommend this camera for it's quality and simplicity of install. Works perfectly with my pioneer head unit.

Camera lasted one day. When it worked it had a great image but unfortunately it only lasted one day before it stopped working. I am a qualified automotive mechanic and even pulled everything back out to make sure that it wasn't something else but to no avail.
