Backup Camera Easy Setup Plug-Play: HD 1080P No-Delay Waterproof - Clear Night Vision Rear View Camera with Monitor for Car Truck SUV - LK3

Easy to install, high quality, simple functionality, clear visibility,, and its cheep enough for anyone to afford.

Let me preface this by pointing out that Amazon sometimes aggregates reviews of similar products. Be sure which product's review you are reading about. I actually tried two items as I received the wrong one based on a review which was on the product's page but was for a different model of the product.The focus of the first part of my review is for a single-camera system which is the "LeeKooLuu Backup Camera and Monitor Kit HD 720P Easy Installation for Cars,Trucks,Pickups Waterproof Night Vision..." kit. This kit is well made and well packaged. I bench tested it first and was surprised to see that the connector for the camera was not the typical RCA plug but a very streamlined connector that (when unplugged) is ridiculously easy to feed through whatever car parts are in the way.The picture from the camera (and the monitor) are great. Way beyond expectations. And there's a single wire to cut if you decide to use the camera for a front-mount view. Guidelines are adjusted at the monitor by using one of the buttons on the back of it to go into programming mode. There is a set of LEDs and a sensor so that they know when to turn on or off when the camera is engaged. The head/monitor comes with a nice setup allowing easy installation--especially if you choose to use the magnetic plate on the back of the head. Then it's just a matter of setting the mount as you like it and you can click the head on and off with ease. Five stars for the single-camera, monitor and mounting system.Customer service was excellent. My intent was to order a two-camera unit but I received the single camera unit instead. (Because of the aggregated reviews.) When I contacted the vendor (by email) and explained the situation, and why I ordered the model I got, they were incredibly accommodating and shipped me a two-camera unit and all parts by expedited delivery. Seven stars (!) for customer service.The two-camera unit performs as well as my reviewed single-camera unit. Unfortunately, having had the single camera, I feel compelled to compare the two. While the two-camera unit works fine, it uses RCA plugs for the video and a similar-sized connector for power. Don't get me wrong, they're fine, but they aren't as slick, or compact as that in the single-camera system. In addition, programming for the dual-camera unit is done with a button that is on the camera lead, near the camera itself. This means it will be out in the elements (granted, you may rout it inside the vehicle, mine will not be). Same with the connectors. I expect I will tape and/or heat shrink these items to make them less visible and more watertight.That said, the picture is more than adequate for the purposes although (objectively) the single-camera picture looks a bit sharper. The provided LEDs are about the same between the two and should give adequate illumination to aid in backing. Overall, a really good product.Unfortunately, the mount for the monitor for the dual-camera unit is not as nice as the one for the single camera. Don't get me wrong: It will work just fine, but the single camera mount has more adjustment and a magnetic latch. The two-camera unit does not have the magnetic connection, just a couple clips to hold it in place. Four-and-a-half stars for the two-camera unit and only because I had the chance to use the better-designed single camera unit beforehand.You can't go wrong with either unit. Both deliver a great quality picture and are easy to hook up. The units I received even had the option of powering via an (included) "cigarette lighter" plug with its own on-off button instead of wiring them into the vehicle's electronics.Finally I should mention one error: The manufacturer's instructions for the two-camera unit has an error in that it shows two yellow RCA connectors on the head/monitor for the two cameras. Actually one of the connectors is white and this is the camera that will take precedence when it receives power. (That is to say that one camera is always on and on the monitor--if powered--but the other one will take over the monitor when a signal comes in from that camera. And you control that by providing power--usually from the reverse lights--to that camera.)

Put it on my rear license plate. Took me awhile to install as it can be difficult to get the license plate frame off if you have bolts on the back, then you have to run the wire and splice the connection to the brake light (so that it only turns on when you're in reverse), but the steps themselves are simple.I had thought I ordered a different 7 inch display and was at first disappointed but this smaller size actually provided more placement options, I chose the top left corner of my windshield, in front of the liner, so nothing is on my dash and I can just look up. The wire was just long enough on an extended cab 6.5 bed truck, so it should be long enough for most vehicles.Finding a grounded piece of metal inside the brake light was near impossible as it was all painted, so I just connected the black ground wire to the brake lights ground wire.Picture quality is pretty decent, you can definitely make out everything. In the settings I enlarged the grid to max and with the wide viewing angle, I haven't hit anything yet! The LED's work pretty well at night. Wouldn't rely on this with blind spots as something could be approaching from the side and you may not see it. Great for parking though.

The good points are that the cable has a very small connector requiring only a quarter inch drill bit to pass through the firewall and whatnot, also the camera itself is very wide angle it's nice to be able to see people on the fringes that are walking towards your car from the back, also the monitor is very small but High FidelityI put this system in a 2010 BMW 528iThe monitor suction cup does not work on vinyl or cloth materialI had to remove the suction cup and drill pilot holes and use screws to mount the bracket which worked greatFor some reason the BMW computer does not allow you to connect and take 12 volts off of the reverse wire and it turns off the monitor somehow after 10 seconds so I just picked up 12 volts from a fuse over on the fuse block nope located next to the battery which is ignition 12v.I cut the wire for the backup camera LED lights because my backup monitor is on all the time with the car is on which looks kind of cool no complaints about that.The insulation takes longer than 15 minutes but if I were to do it again in the same car I could probably do it in 10 to 12 minutes now that I'm higher in the learning curve.See the picture of the monitor placement which seems to be the best other option would be up on top near the rear view mirror but if you're tall it would block the vision possibly.Passengers in the car think that the monitor backup camera looks good and more impressive now with it.Cheaper backup camera options do not have field of view of this one and the Fidelity of the Monitor and picture is not as good.On this BMW model, the instrument cluster and the stereo are easily removed making for easy wiring behind them to pop the cable out right next to where the backup camera monitor is located.As I remember the cable for the backup camera monitor is about 23 ft long which works okay for a 5 Series BMW with about two feet extra, but if you had a 7 Series you would need a longer cable I do believe that the seller will give you a longer cable if you write them and ask them before you order.The camera mounting hardware that's attached to the camera itself is very high quality and durable and good design.
