   I got this for $20 to use with my Pioneer AVH-P5100DVD unit, set up was easy as well as installation, during the day you get Color display which I was not expecting, at night in complete darkness you get a green colored image almost as night vision goggles.
   
   NOTE: The image from this camera is like when you look on your house door peephole, so objects are actually closer than they appear, but once you practice on a wall or another car you own its easy.

   I got this camera a while back, but had delayed installation due to no mounting hardware,contrary to the item description. Finally opted for trailer hitch plug housing install. Power wires are a bit small for my liking. Using it on a Boss Audio BV9995B head unit that I also bought from Amazon.com. OK picture but the night vision is lackluster at best. Haven't tested the waterproof claim yet. Will go deserting and dunes this season. Hope both electronics will last!

   The camera provides an impressive image regardless of price and in addition has a built in alignment scale which is digitally overlaid on the screen. I use this product with a JVC NX-7000 and the image is crystal clear. The field of view is amazing as I have mounted it inline and 4 inches from my ball on the receiver hitch and the ball is shown in full view. This has made it much easier to connect to my boat trailer and arrive aligned and at the correct distance on the first shot every time, the scale shown on the screen makes this an easy task. The camera is rated waterproof and I have not tested this as of yet but for the price the test will occur soon and an update to this post will be made, if the camera passes then I will be adding one to the back of my trailer so I can see what is behind the boat when backing in parking lots. The camera has been wired to the reverse lights and power up time is instant once the vehicle is put into reverse. There is nothing negative I can think of about this product.

   I was trying to think of a way to mount this on my new pickup. As I didnt want to drill a hole in the back of my new truck, and I really didnt want it hanging down from a bracket, I came up with this idea. I bought a CHEAP trailer hitch plug, the kind to fill in the hitch hole when your not towing anything. I bought the cheapest black square one I could get and trimmed off the part around the outside that was larger than the insert part. That way I could slide it in from the back of the hitch. Then I drilled a hole though the end of it to fit the camera size, mounted it flush with the end of the cap, and used silicone calk to seal it into the hitch plug. The silicone has some give to it, so it can flex a tad in cold or hot weather, and I can lock the camera in the hitch with the standard key locking ball hitch safty pin that I use to tow with.
   I put a clip I made from the end of a clip board and mounted it on TOP of the hitch under the truck so when I am towing and the camera would be useless in this situation anyway, I just pull the pin, and clip it up under the truck onto the platform hitch, and put a baggy over the camera with a zip tie to keep it on and sealed.
   When I drop the trailer, I pop this back in and my camera is active again. Just a thought if you dont want to drill holes in your truck or have someone walk off with it in a parking lot that has a screwdriver in their pocket.
   The camera works fine, not great but good enough to know when to stop before I hit my garage door in the dark when i back into my driveway. It is great during the daytime, and in color too!!

   I have to tell you, when I saw this camera for sell for $22.00, I really thought I was gonna waste my money. I love being surprised. I've got a new head unit for my truck that has a motorized 7" screen that comes with a rearview camera input, thought what the hell. The pictue is surprisingly clear and at night it's grainy, but better than antisapated. It's almost like military night vision. During the day the picture is in color (wasn't expecting that) and at night, black and white. One draw-back is that there's no mounting hardware, so be prepared to drill a hole about 1 1/8" in diameter, but if your going for your bumper, it's fine. So for anyone looking for a cheap camera that preforms, this is what you need.
