There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've been doing a complete overhaul of my 1994 Honda Accord's interior and wanted to top it all of with a backup camera as I'd never had one and all my interior panels were off anyway so why not just run one more wire?!
I had purchased a different camera before this one and I was so disappointed at the installation process - it wasn't one wire for the old camera it was two. The video and another line to the head unit's reverse trigger. Oh well, live and learn.
The video quality on the old camera was terrible so even though I knew it would be more work and money I went hunting for a better camera... and then I found this one.
I wasn't sure about the custom power connector this camera has as it was different from what I had already installed and I wanted to try and use the existing wire from the old camera, but I love it! I had the old camera attached to the license plate and the video/power cables running up through the license plate light fixture - not an ideal way to get the cables into my car, but it worked.
With the small thin custom connector, I was able to drill a very tiny hole right above the license plate between the two plate lights and it looks so much much better without the risk of cracking the plastic light fixture I was going through. The hole was so easy and small just took a little squirt of clear weather proof silicone and done!
I also like how this camera has a much lower profile since most of it mounts behind your plate.
Install was super easy using the video, power and reverse line to the head unit I had already installed, but how freaking sweet that they included this reverse wire! Had I of gotten this camera first, I'd of not had to run that extra wire.
I love how they give you the option of having the reverse grid on or off. I get why it's a wire and not a switch. Once installed typically you just leave it alone. I'm going to get another one for the front of my car and will cut the wire so I don't have the grid lines.
Perhaps the most important thing is the video quality which is superb! It has a great field of view and really there is no real reason to turn my head to look behind me, but old habits are hard to break.
Overall it's a very nice back-up cam!
I use this to assist me in backing up to my travel trailer, and it has literally removed the need for a helper. Mounting right above the license plate is the PERFECT location for seeing the hitch ball and backing up straightly to the hitch. I've done it three times so far, and gotten it perfectly aligned on each try. No second guessing.
Also, the tailgate does not hit the camera when it's extended.
The only con to this camera is that you can't power it up with the radio ACC line (for viewing while driving forward), because at night the LED's would turn on and blind drivers behind you. That's not such a big deal for me, as I rarely want to do that, but it's good to know for those who want to use a backup camera even when not in reverse. The video quality is also a bit grainy/noisy at night, but it's still usable.
Installation was easy - just tedious, zip tying the wires to various places underneath the truck to make sure it was nice and out of the way. I ran it into the cab underneath the passenger seat, where I also ran the power cable for my stereo amplifier.
TL;DR
The camera looks very "OEM," and the picture is fantastic. Only downsides are no camera viewing with ACC wire, and grainy night video. For the price, it's a STEAL!

The Camera itself may indeed be waterproof (Its held up fine to some heavy rain and the car wash so far) but the mid-point connector contains a small circuit board and it is definitely not waterproof. You can see right in to the side of it. To install this on a pickup truck with an open bed this mid-point connector should meet up with the main lead from the dash somewhere near the spare tire location under the truck.
I chose to run a piece of 1/2" Liquidtight conduit (the yellow RCA end of the kit will fit through this, along with a piece of CAT5 for future needs if so desired) from my entry/exit point at the back of the cab where my main power for stereo amps comes in to a gray 4x4x4" junction box. I installed another 4x4x2" gray junction box at the rear on the inward face of the truck frame. I let my spare tire down to get at a good spot for it. Because I didn't get a truly water tight exit point for the wires leaving towards the bumper, I drilled a small weep-hole in the bottom of the junction box and another in the top to act as a vent for condensation. This makes it pretty well splash-proof, but if I ever completely submerge the rear of the truck it will fill with water and probably be ruined, but not ruined as fast as leaving this exposed to water/grime/salt etc under the truck or wrapping it in a bag to die from condensation.
As for the hookups, I ran a fresh frame ground with some heavier gauge wire into the aforementioned junction box and spliced onto it inside there. The positive wire was plenty long enough to reach to the factory wiring bundle to the passenger tail light that comes across behind the license plate. I used a blue wire tap there as the final connection for the system and luckily I checked it then, before putting my spare tire back in. The tap didn't cut far enough into the red wire to get a connection. I pulled it back apart and stripped the red wire back about a half inch and let that fold alongside when I re-inserted it into the wire tap. It got a good bite then and the system came right up.
PRO - Cheap. Nice image quality. Fairly easy install (but designed for the wiring and connectors to all be inside a vehicle, protected and dry)
CON - Had to figure out a way to protect its components under a truck myself as I went, which added some time and expense. Image at night grainy, but much better than not seeing anything for sure.
NOTE : As others have encountered, the unit gets power when the source wire gets +12v (as in when your reverse lights come on) so if your head unit has a function to view camera at-will any time, it won't work unless you have that +12v lead connected to something that is energized at that time. So you either add another switch and wire to energize the camera when you want it, or you wire it to something that comes on with the ignition, or add a relay to the amplifier remote which will make it come on and stay on with the stereo. Then you would have to go into the menu of the stereo and set the camera not to trigger the display or disconnect that trigger lead, and use the manual button when you want to back up instead of it being automatic from going into reverse. Apparently no perfect solution to make every little thing work together every which way possible, that I can see so far anyway. Wiring it to get +12v from two different sources would involve another relay of some sort to isolate them or else you would be bucking through and turning on your back up lights and energizing all the rest of that circuit from the load side every time you turned the camera on. I wouldn't advise doing that.
Good Luck.
Top reviews from other countries
The CAM1 works perfectly with my OEM head-unit. Picture quality is just as good or better than the OEM camera, plus it's better position (dead-center) and provides superior vision in the dark
The image from the camera is mirrored like the OEM camera, and you have the option of turning on parking guidelines or leaving them off (default). The plastic module on the cable has a spot for a switch to enable/disable image mirroring but it's empty, so if you don't want the image mirrored then you might be out of luck. Fortunately the OEM system was mirrored so this felt normal.
If you'll be replacing an OEM camera like I did, you'll be happy to know it's very simple to do. I opened the plastic module on the cable and desoldered the wires meant to be run into the vehicle. In their place I soldered the OEM wires. My vehicle had a white wire as well as the red, black, and yellow, but I simply didn't connect it and things work perfectly.
If I ever had to replace my camera again I would buy another one of these in a heartbeat. If I had a vehicle that didn't come with a camera, I'd probably buy the camera + the mirror.

The two minor issues I did have, were one of the yellow connectors breaking, and the fact the the camera's position doesn't capture a part of the rear bumper which would have made it easier to back up.
