Flush Mount Rear View Camera - Marine Grade Waterproof 1.25'' Cam Built-in Distance Scale Lines Backup Parking/Reverse Assist IR Night Vision LEDs w/ 420 TVL Resolution & RCA Output - Pyle PLCM22IR

Good product, good clarity and view. Recommended.

I bought a stereo that had option for a reverse camera. This little unit is hooked up to it and works nicely. Daytime use is great however it struggles at nighttime but if your reverse lights are good it should work fine for you. It came with a hole saw to drill a hole where it needs to mount. I mounted mine in the ceter of my rear license plate. It also helps when hooking up trailers to my hitch. My truck is extremely tall so it is comforting being able to see when backing up, especially in public parking areas. I have a winch front bumper that protrudes out about a foot or more which I plan on mounting another camera there also. As one reviewer mentioned it does better if mounted high if you are using it for 'close contact' prevention. The bottom line: I would buy another one if/when I needed one. UPDATE: I've had this camera for a little over 2 years now and it is still working fine.

I just mounted this camera and do not yet know about its durability over time, but will update this post if anything changes. The picture is more than adequate in daytime, but I do notice a slight flicker when I hit bumps (I can turn on the camera independently of just being in reverse with my Pioneer Nav unit). The flicker makes me wonder if it will last. It more than suits its purpose of a back-up camera. It is not meant to shoot movies or anything. My observations: I tried to test locations using a 13VDC transformer that works on pretty much everything else I have tried including Lowrance Marine Chart Plotters, but it did not power this camera and it only showed a white screen with lines on it. I almost wrote it off as defective, but tried battery power as a last resort. Worked fine... IDK why the transformer didnt work with it... Camera seems well built. I read a thread where a guy said he disassembled one of these and replaced the O-rings... I have no idea how he did that. This is like a solid machined piece of aluminum. I dont see any way to open it up. It seems like it should not leak though as there are no holes or visible screw heads. My mounting notes: I mounted it where the license plate light does aim pretty much at it, but it doesnt seem to affect it that much. If you can avoid this, it probably makes the night viewing better. Check behind your bumper before drilling. My spare is right behind my bumper. Even if it is not your spare, there is often wiring back there. Make sure you have adequate depth before you drill. 1.5" of so of this camera will be behind the bumper. If you want it to be flush mounted and aimed straight back, place both rings behind your bumper after passing the camera through the hole. If you need to angle the camera, place the smaller angled ring on the camera (flat side toward the camera, angled side toward the bumper) before passing it through the hole in your bumper and place the larger angled ring behind the bumper (angled side toward the bumper, flat side toward the nut). My mounting sticks out a quarter inch or so as I do have it on an angle to aim it at my trailer hitch. It would stick out an eighth or less if flush mounted with a straight back view. To get power to the light, most factory tow packages have both positive and negative wires at the trailier wiring plug. I tapped into these. They camera now turns on and off with my ignition. Anywhere the RCA connectors plug into each other, tape the connection with electrical tape. This helps seal out water and also prevents these from coming unplugged over time. The video wire from my NAV unit was pushed through the firewall by putting a small hole in an existing rubber boot. I put mine directly below the steering wheel through the boot. I put RTV black around it for good measure to seal out water (although it looked tightly sealed around the wire without it). I ran the video wire down the top of my truck frame with other wires. When it came close to the muffler, I ran it through/behind the heat shielding along with the factory wiring harness. I zip tied it in place about every 18". Avoid pinch points like leaf springs, shocks, or any moving parts. Only attach the video wire to fixed parts and route it around moving parts. The video cable will likely be too short. Use an RCA male to male adapter and add another wire if necessary. I did. If you need to find your reverse light wire to activate the camera, google it like I did. A simple search for "Tundra wiring diagram reverse wire backup camera" led me to a page that said it was the blue wire in the white 11 pin plug in the passenger side kick panel. I found it in 2 minutes with this info. I checked for my GF's 370Z and found the same info immediately... if you have to know, it is in the driver's side kick panel on her car. (I forget the plug and wire color)... I gave it 4 stars because: It comes with no instructions (not that you really need any though) It does flicker a little when I hit bumps The night vision is pretty lousy

The PYLE PLCM22IR Flush Mount Rear View Camera with 0.5 Lux Night Vision for the price this camera is OK. At day light the vision quality is good but at night with lights at the back the vision is acceptable and with no ligths at he back the vision is unacceptable. I also have a backup sensor installed and that's makes me feel more secure at the time of backup at night time. Some time ago I had been hit from the back (It was not a Big impact) and the impact was not over the camera, but after that, the Video comes with some distorsions or interferences. But the my daily issue is the dust and dirty that the camera gets on the crystal, so in the Night is a big deal beacuse view is blocked. Thank You...

Really good back up camera easy to install can be mounted anywhere really good angle looks good durability good

the camara is perfect 1 it did not bulge out like someone said.it comes with 1 rubber ring 2 angle cut ring and 1 treaded ring to screw on i have install these camara in many position and they are perfect the picture are good both day and night i have 4 camara a mini quad prossesor and a vupoint digital converter with 16sd card i recomend these to all my friends when they ask about my system ps it come with a drill bit in the box to make the hole.

Camera was easy to install. Came with the adapters to get corrected angle when I mounted it in my slanted bumper. Plug and play with my radio. Works great. It has been installed for almost a year now and it works as good as it did on day 1. Clear color picture and the lines in picture make it a breeze to get close to any object.

Love the product excellent going to buy another

Unfortunately it has got stupid guide-lines which don't allow the use of the camera for different purposes than car parking.

A good replacement for my Jensen old BU cam. Clear view:)

very good

muy buen servicio la cámara estupenda es lo que indica. muy buena resolución del problema. cualquier duda y/o comentario estoy a sus ordenes.

Do not buy what a load of s****. Condensation in the morning then the infrared kicks in at night to completely lose image
