Backup Camera Flush Mount, Metal Housing 170°Wide View Angle Rear/Side/Front View Camera for Car, Clear Night Vision IP69 Waterproof Reverse Camera for Vehicle SUV RV Pickup, 18.5mm, 12V/24V, Black

Expectations are a funny thing. When I placed my order for this camera, I thought I was simply purchasing a standalone unit. To my surprise—and perhaps because I didn’t read the fine print closely enough—what arrived was a comprehensive installation kit that left absolutely nothing to chance. ​ ​The most immediate surprise was the inclusion of a custom-sized drill bit. It’s rare to find a manufacturer that anticipates the physical setup to that degree. Usually, you’re left rummaging through a toolbox for the right size, but here, it was ready to go right out of the box. ​ The kit is clearly designed for a "no-trip-to-the-hardware-store" experience. It even includes: ​Wire splicers: Perfect for tapping into a power source. ​Mounting hardware: High-quality parts that feel durable. ​The Camera: Robust build quality that exceeds its price point. ​ While I personally tend to skip using included wire splicers—I’m a bit of a stickler for long-term wiring longevity—their presence speaks volumes about the brand. This is a well-thought-out kit designed for convenience and accessibility. ​ ​The camera itself is excellent, providing a clear image that punches well above its weight class. I used this specifically to replace an aging unit on my golf cart, and the transition was seamless. Whether you are starting a fresh install or performing a quick swap, the value proposition here is hard to beat. If you're looking for a high-quality camera solution that includes everything but the power source, look no further. It’s an amazing value for the price and a perfect fit for vehicles like golf carts.

This flush mount backup camera includes a hole punch drill attachment intended for installation. The camera is designed to mount directly into the vehicle surface rather than using an external bracket. The included drill attachment matched the size needed for the camera housing. Installation required basic wiring knowledge. After routing and connecting the wires, the camera fit into the drilled opening as expected and sat flush once secured. The components were packaged together and arrived intact. The camera functions as described once connected to the display. The image was visible when the vehicle was placed in reverse, and there were no immediate issues with signal or mounting after installation. This camera may be suitable for those familiar with automotive wiring who are looking for a flush mount option with the necessary installation hardware included. It looks super clean once installed properly and was compatible with my aftermarket radio.

For the asking price it is great. I don't have trouble seeing the picture day or night. I ran into an issue where my video has interference lines on the screen most of the time. Sometimes it clears up for a second but comes right back. I presume it's either the way I tapped into 12v to the camera or interference from something that the RCA cable runs parallel to like the fuel pump or whatever. The hole saw that comes with it worked perfectly into the plastic tail gate bezel that I installed the camera into. I lucked out with the 2009 Avalanche for the perfect spot to put it for a stealth install and I also lucked out that the camera cable JUST reaches under the tail gate for the perfect length. I bought this camera because it came with a long enough cord to get me under the vehicle and through the fire wall. I had about 1.5 feet worth of free RCA cord. Long story short, hopefully I won't back over anyone's kid now. I'm including photos of the camera mounted as well as the interference pattern I see when I've got the vehicle in reverse. The moment I got the camera installed we had a 32F snow storm and I couldn't see out of it when it got snow on it. I went home and put Rain-X on the glass lens and this helps. Rain rolls off of it and only forms in smaller droplets. So do yourself a favor and do that.

Can't beat this for the money, even at 3 or 4 times this price. In fact, a prominent car audio website sells a version that looks identical to this camera, but charges $50 for it. Camera quality is fantastic, looks OEM when flush mount installed, provides clear images both day and night (albeit not HD - but my head unit doesn't display HD anyway - it's more than good enough for backup purposes). Install was pretty straightforward. The drill bit that came with it was of surprising quality (much better than the bits shown in photos of competing units). Finally, I can't say enough good about the customer support, I messaged them via Amazon and the response was quick, fully addressed my question, had quick follow up on a subsequent question, and offered further support as needed. Refreshing.

As others have noted, this camera both works incredibly well and is an amazing bargain for the price. It has two more benefits I want to specificially mention. #1, it comes with every possible accessory to make the installation easy and straightforward. It even includes a 18.5mm hole saw (I didn't want to cut a hole in my car so I created a 3D printed mount for it, but if you need a hole saw this alone will save you many dollars for something you'd probably use only once). The video cable to run from the rear to the head unit includes a discrete wire to carry the reverse signal, saving you the need to source and route a separate wire. They include wire splices to make connections if you need them. They even include a roll of electrical tape. The list goes on and on. The included accessories alone are worth the price, AND you get the camera in the deal. #2, the seller is AMAZING. We had a minor shipping issue with ours and the seller responded instantly, resolving the matter within a couple of days. The quantity and quality of their email communications is the best we've ever seen from any vendor on Amazon or anywhere else. We knew exactly what was happening every single day. THIS is how everyone should handle Customer Service! A++++ A couple of technical comments: A) The camera works very well. The image is sharp and very wide, exactly what you want for a rear (or front) camera. It powers up quickly so there's none of that annoying delay between going into reverse and waiting for the camera to catch up. B) The camera uses a traditional 4:3 aspect ratio. Many (most?) of today's head units use wider aspect ratios so this camera will have some blank side borders on the display. That is not an error. Bottom line: This is the camera you want. And the seller you want. Look no further. My highest recommendation!

For a budget camera the picture quality and color is good. it's easy to install and compatible with many systems.

This camera is not high definition by any standard. But the camera does what its supposed to do. Box is complete with tools, super duper circle cutter with pilot bit, color instructions and just enough wire for my compact suv. I used up an xtra 6 ft around the back door when I was forced to go up and over. If I hadnt done that, then the wire would have been way too long. Might want to investigate how many feet you will need for your vehicle which will require assessing the route that will hide wires. I would recommend that you remove all the trim ahead of time while you are waiting for the delivery. Also, go ahead and remove the panels on liftgate or trunk at the same time. Word of warning, if you put your camera under the overhang above your license plate, then the overhang at the top of the monitor will show it due to the fisheye lens. I thought it was a smart idea to keep the lens out of the rain. Turns out not so smart. Also, the bezel does not tighten down sufficiently. Design needs to be improved. A washer might help, havent tried it yet. Update: washer was a no go. I had to take the exterior bezel to the bench grinder to remove about 1/16". Making it shorter made it possible to tighten it properly. Lot of fn around and wasting my time. This isnt going to work for most buyers if the chose the "cut a hole" option. After they cut the massive hole they will realize that it is not possible to tighten the bezel. This is because the sheet metal where you are cutting the hole is too thing. Trust me......the washer Idea will not work. At this point, I do not recommend buying this until the design is changed so that it will properly tighten to thin sheet metal. Update jan 16. Sorry to say this is a really bad backup camera. I tried to use it before giving a bad rating. As others have said...the colored guides are shooting into the air. Contrast and brightness are really unacceptable, even after messing with the color adjustments on my touchscreen radio. But I really hate about this is the magnification. A car 6 feet behind you looks like its 100 feet away. Sort of like looking in the wrong end of a pair of binoculars. I know this review will likely cause agita for the seller but it is what it is. Really disappointed and, no, I don't want a free new one or a refund. This is just a review to inform potential buyers that you get what you pay for. I will give big kudos for the tool kit and metal hole cutter that was include though. Those hole cutters cost 6-7 bucks in the big box stores. If they didnt include the tools they could sell this camera $8.....which is about what it is worth. If you are depending on this camera for daily use while backing up then this is not for you. I really don't even know what it might be good for, not even a driveway monitor. Magnification is just to low. Maybe YT has some DIY backup cams that are better than this. Sorry. BTW this is 170 degree fisheye lens. Should be 140 degrees. Too much distortion at 170.

This is perhaps the most comprehensive vehicle parking camera installation kit you’ll find at this exceptional price point. Over the top. Highly professional.
