NATIKA Backup/Front View Camera,IP69K Waterproof Great Night Vision HD and Super Wide Angle Metal OEM Style Reverse Rear View Backup Camera for Cars Pickup Trucks SUVs RVs Vans (Black)

The backup camera arrived on time and with everything you need. I purchased this camera somewhere back in October of 2019. At the time when I installed it, it did not show up on my head unit. I did not return it since it was my first time installing one and I figured I might have messed up somewhere. A week later I double-checked over my work and found that I installed everything correctly, it's just the T-Tap they provided did not connect the camera wire to my reverse light wire completely because the camera wire was really thin and the metal plate in the T-Tap did not tap into it. That was an easy fix which was to use traditional crimp connectors and bam, the reverse camera showed up on my Kenwood unit as soon as I put the car into reverse. I installed the camera on my 2005 Honda CR-V and the 1997-2006 CR-V's have the spare tire mounted on the door. Because of this, I mounted the camera as close to the center as possible without being too low as the main reason I wanted the camera was to see my bumper and make hooking up the trailer a lot easier. It sits on my bumper instead of hanging from the top of the license plate. If you do install it like this (Most people install like this on trucks) MAKE SURE TO CUT THE PURPLE WIRE!! Doing this will prevent the upside-down image as this camera is default a hanging from the top of license plate design. Overall it's worth the price, sure it may be a little more pricey than those $10 screw onto license plate ones but the picture quality on those are so grainy and look like sh*t at night. This camera gives you the option of putting it wherever and looks OEM. The picture quality itself looks like it would be from an OEM 2020 vehicle with a standard reverse cam and night quality is outstanding! Give this camera a shot, you won't regret it, I'm still using this camera as of June 2020 and the picture still looks as new as when I got it first installed and thats after all the rain I've also driven through with it.

I purchased a NATIKA Backup/Front View Camera and installed it while waiting for the parts needed to install an aftermarket head unit on my 2008 4Runner. During this time, I decided to test the camera using a TV monitor, but unfortunately, it did not work. I reached out to customer service, and they responded promptly and provided detailed instructions to help diagnose the issue. Despite making some wiring changes and checks as instructed, the camera still didn’t work. Jason from the service team arranged to send a replacement camera, which was extremely helpful. While waiting for the replacement, the parts for my head unit arrived, and I went ahead with the installation. On a whim, I decided to test the camera again with the newly installed head unit—and it worked perfectly. Although I couldn’t pinpoint the issue when using the TV monitor, I was relieved and happy that everything worked out in the end. The camera’s performance, both day and night, is exceptional, delivering clear and reliable quality. It also matches the car well, with an OEM-like design that integrates seamlessly and looks like it came with the vehicle from the factory. Beyond the product, the customer service was truly outstanding. Jason’s prompt and generous support made a significant difference in my experience, turning a frustrating situation into a positive one. Thanks to his help, I now have full confidence in recommending this camera to anyone looking for a dependable product backed by an excellent support team.

Solid performance so far, though mine was a challenging install. I installed as a lip mount on the chrome molding on my trunk. What I thought was a solid placement ended up being a problem as the nut (and possibly the threaded mounting post) from the kit was bumping up against the trunk due to the portion of the trunk underneath the chrome molding being angled (think of it being a triangular shape underneath the molding rather than a square-like shape). The molding wouldn't sit flush with where the camera was placed. I basically ended up lengthening the hole using the drill bit as a workaround dremel (didn't want to have to go dig it out). I ended up with an oblong hole that ultimately was functional but created some headaches trying to get things fitted. Thankfully, despite my vehicle being a 2007 Toyota Yaris, the chrome trunk molding had a little outline for where a factory camera might be placed, offering a sense of the angle that the camera should ideally be at when installed to the side of the license plate. I double checked our Subaru's camera and it also has a slight angle pointing the camera toward the center of the vehicle. That said, having to move the camera away from the trunk resulted in a camera that is basically flush and perhaps just slightly protruding beyond the edge of the chrome molding instead of being more recessed under the lip, which would be ideal. The challenges I had were more an issue with the vehicle, but potential improvements to the product that would've helped would be: 1) Having the threaded mounting post be more centered from front to back on the base of the camera. Trunk moldings/trim vary and I assume there is some reason for the design, but if the post were centered on the base of the camera, it's likely that the efforts to move the hole would have been less of an issue. The chrome molding has a horizontal lip underneath, which then angles slight up as a subtle beveled edge (see pics). Having to move the camera away from the vehicle meant that instead of having the front of the camera be mostly in line with the beginning of that beveled edge, the front of the camera ended up significantly overhanging that edge. I ended up using one of the wedges to basically fill that space at the front rather than using it to angle the camera. It's not a perfect solution, but it should be workable overall. 2) Shorter threaded post. This would help with more shallow install locations like mine. 3) Flatter nut. Possibly narrower as well. Basically whatever might help minimize the space taken up by the hardware on the back/underside of the camera. Things I like? As advertised, the smaller non-RCA neck on the camera cable means I was able to use one of the original holes in the trunk as the pass thru. It was a hole used for a retaining clip on the molding. Based on the number of bolts and two other retaining clips in the molding, I decided the clip in question was optional (it was also removable from the molding, making things easier). In sum, I didn't have to drill through the metal of the trunk to get the camera cable wired and attached throughout the trunk lid. The image is very good in low light (see pics), especially compared to the stock 2017 Subaru Forester backup camera. The low light performance is great to have as the primary reason for the camera is due to the tint we have on the vehicle. When in reverse I've found the tint is problematic when looking over the shoulder or in the mirror out the back of the vehicle. The reverse lights just don't provide enough illumination to help when looking through the tint in reverse when it's dark out. The trade off with this camera is the pronounced fish-eye effect. The Subaru camera looks basically representational of what you see with the naked eye while this one has the extra curvature to the image around the edges. All in all, a very useful and workable product. I'm not sure I'll install one again on my own given the amount of time it took to troubleshoot everything and get things lined up. I might just pay the local big box chain to do it if I get another CarPlay receiver installed in our other vehicle that doesn't have a backup camera. That said, given the learning experience with this install, it might make things more feasible with the next one.

Very good camera. Picture is clear and looks like oem

Works great. Good vision day and night

The camera was great, clear image, solid build and looks close to a factory finish. A couple of months short of 2 years, it stopped sending a signal to the screen. I bought another one, because we were happy with the performance of the first one. Then messaged the company about what had happened (not really expecting a reply, let alone a refund) and they sent me a full refund for the original camera. Would definitely buy again if the need arises.

sturdy and looks built to last, video out is ok and clear, and it came with free ambient LED which is a bonus

It's showing lower part of parking only I think it's not enough, and camera adjusting pads while fixing is provided not same as shown in the picture, it's just a form material and there is no way to cancel the parking guidelines as seller said. and not the same camera as described.
