I picked this camera up as a BB Deal of the day for half price. Installation was quick and easy. The instructions were a bit vague. The unit connects to the head unit and has a clear picture that provides a fairly wide view and is as good as my Ford Escape with it built in. It also has the back up lines to show you where to turn.

License plate camera woes

I purchased this after market backup camera license plate frame because Best Buy selected this as the best one for my Jeep. I was very disappointed that the frame wasn’t a fit and the camera was installed / glued on the license plate light. This was not what I thought I was buying. I would not have purchased this expensive system if I had known that. The camera works well except you can’t see the screen when light is shining on it. I feel this looks tacky and makes the camera vulnerable to vandals.

I had a $50 American Express offer for BestBuy so I ordered this camera to put on our 2004 super-crew F150. We have a leveling lift and oversized tires, plus have a pickup shell top on it so my point being- backing up can be challenging in urban environments where there are many people and objects.
This was easy to mount. Literally screws into license plate area. My complaint is I could have used about one additional foot of video cable. When you account for the twits and turns of cleanly hiding a wire, it can fall short pretty quickly on a big vehicle.
Secondly, the included instruction card is frankly awful. Some quick YouTube videos will help more than anything that comes with the camera.
Lastly, the power supply cable is really short. Maybe not an issue for a Camry but again, on a big truck/vehicle, it's really too short to go from reverse light power to the camera/license plate area.
You'll also be better served using those wire tapping things, instead of splicing into important brake light wires.
In the end, its and affordable camera that will definitely help provide better viewing and safety when backing out.

Awesome little camera for the price! Good video quality, no delay with parking assist lines, good 170° angle viewing, good night vision for not having leds. And I love how the parking assist lines curve with your vehicle as you turn!! Amazing customer service from Sean with Installation services! Extremely satisfied with my purchase.

Recently upgraded the stereo in my 04 GMC truck, and since it had inputs for rear view cam, I had to buy one. The main reason I wanted it is for backing up to a trailer hitch without having to get out and look 5 times to see how close I am. This camera accomplished my needs perfectly, Very clear bright picture and it also has the guide lines built that curve when you turn backing up. Also the video input cable has an extra wire built into it for triggering your display to show in reverse so you only have to find one connection. In my case it was the center wire of my 7way trailer harness that only comes on in reverse. I only gave it 4 stars because it sticks out like a sore thumb instead of being molded in with the frame. It doesn't have LED's for night vision, but works just fine with the rearview lights from the vehicle. Got this one on sale for $59 instead of $99 which was a good buy I don't regret.

So far so good! We installed the camera on the 5th of April, and all seems to be well. Based on the Amazon reviews of this product I was scared. Best Buy had better reviews on the product, so I decided to give it a try. Installation was good. I purchased the product on sale for $49.99 along with the Best Buy membership which provides free installation.

Nice backup camera, easy to install, good but not great resolution, night vision works well, and I like how the lines curve when your car is not going straight back.

The picture from this camera is so clear compared to the last one I had and it has the backup lines that turn with the vehicle which I didn't have before. The only thing keeping me from putting 5 stars is the length of time it took for the installation because they were trying to fix the existing wire instead of just installing a new wire as requested.

the first camera was DOA. The replacement worked as expected. The cable coming out the back of the camera was a little too short which made running it into the vehicle and connecting to the power, ground and RCA harnesses a bit tricky.
The power and ground cables supplied were very thin. I ended up running my own 16g wires to the tail light.
I installed this with an aftermarket pioneer screen (head unit) - no issues with the screen detecting the backup signal and switching to the camera.
My only con, other than the thin wire gauge, is not having the ability to turn off the camera's assist guidelines. With other models, there were wires you could cut to turn off the guidelines but I do not believe that is an option with this model.
Overall, for $50, I am pleased with the camera.

Absolutely amazed at the quality. The head unit I have also moves the directional arrows as well. Cable is plenty long for Subi.

The camera seems to do the job. Daytime image quality is pretty good. Nighttime is lower quality, but I’m pleased that it works well enough for me to seeder what’s happening if I back up at night. The active guidelines are a great feature that I’m really pleased to have.

Can be difficult to find the reverse power wire which on a challenger i took to a shop to find it. The red wire sticking out of the rca cable is the trigger wire which the directions don't say anything about.
On most cars simple and easy to connect....have to be careful with what you do when you have a manufacturer lifetime warranty
Has back up lines which move with the steering wheel camera is crystal clear
