Pioneer Nd-Bc2 Universal Rear View Camera Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Quality is pretty good, however the image is zoomed out a lot. A car behind me may be only a few inches away, but on the screen, it looks like it's a couple feet away.
Looks great at night

PYLE PLCM22IR Flush Mount Rear View Camera with 0.5 Lux Night Vision Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Item arrived with all specified parts and in working order (including the drill bit)
Installation is a little time consuming, so don't take this on if it's your first try at car audio / video. Unfortunately there were no instructions, and wires on the harness from the camera were unlabeled but luckily they were easy to figure out.
The video out line is easy to spot as its the industry standard yellow RCA cable (17' extension included)
The positive voltage that powers the camera is the wire that has the fuse in it (this line connects to the white back-up light in your tail lights and powers the camera)
The remaining line is the ground and can be attached to almost any bare metal on vehicle, I usually choose a screw somewhere close.
The cables included are long, but you may need to an extension for the power wire (to tell the receiver when to turn on the rear view monitor). I chose to extend the wire from the tail light so the video camera and the receiver got the same signal.
The top of the camera is not noted, so you'll have to adjust it after installation.
The camera automatically adjusts between regular and IR mode and the LED's around the lens will not light up. You'll know when it's in IR mode as the picture will change from color to B&W.
The field of view is a little constricted compared to many cameras, but its enough for me (I can't see the corners of the vehicle, but can see behind me).

PYLE PLCM10 License Plate Mount Rear View camera with Night Vision Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bottom line up front: Don't expect a $30 CMOS backup camera to perform like your $600 camcorder.
This camera is good for the price. I installed it rather quickly in conjunction with my Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT. It added a Pyramid 10-amp noice filter ($3) as close to camera as possible to ensure it got clean power. It works fine. I can see anything behind me, day or night. Between the IR illuminators on the camera and your backup lights, anything close enough to be of concern at normal reversing speeds are illuminated.
After careful aiming, I know right where the "sweet spot" is for backing closse to other car's bumper and other obstacles behind me and still have a save 6-12" buffer. I now get in and out of tight spots with ease.
Important notes:
- Don't expect this to look like HDTV. It's a $30 CMOS camera.
- Use the $3 noise filter.
- Route your cables carefully. You should ground the negative lead as close to the camera aspossible and run the positive lead to your choice of power supply (the reverse lights, of you want the camera on only when you're backing, or an accessort power, if you wnat it on when the car's on - as in my case where my head unit has a "rear view" mode for viewing trailers and such while moving forward). If conecting to accessory power, you'll likely have to extend the cable to the front of the vehicle. Keep it a few inches from the from the video cable, and make sure both the video and power cable cross each other and other cables at 90-degrees, and avoid parralle runs. Also, be prepared to extend the video cable. I had to add a 6-foot extension to mine in order to get it to reach the head unit.
I don't understand wht someone would spend over $100 for a higher quality camera for the purpose of just backing up, unless they're using it for some sort of high-speed reversing and/or using a really large screen, in which case I would personally use a 0 lux securty-type camera with a differnt mounting location.
