Absolute CAM570

I got this cam to aid with reverse gear operations in a Gmc Envoy Xuv and the first one worked great as its supposed to be a HD cam. However, after approx one month the glass lens cracked due to unknown incident. I contacted Absolute USA and the could only replace the entire cam at "cost" about $5 less than purchase price at Sonic Electronix- the replacement never had a good picture right out of the box. I hope that most of these have the image like on my first one, good luck when ordering this product.

excellent camera good vision day & night good price.

I bought this camera six months ago and installed it on my Honda Pilot. It is very inexpensive. The color is a little off and it is a little hard to see in the dark. But for the money it is a great camera and I would definitely buy it again. You can spend 3 times the money and get a better picture, but why unless money is no object. I have not had any issues with it, but I have only been using it for 6 months. I live in Southern California where it is relatively dry. It has been through the car wash several times.

I went through two other cameras before I got this one. I use it on the front of my truck so that I dont run over curbs and parking lot stops. The first two cams each died shortly after installation due to the heat of my trucks engine and heat exchanger for the supercharger. However, this cam has a higher heat rating and no problems to date.

The camera itself works fine but the overall results were poor. The display is too difficult to see to use for serious rearward navigation. A better choice would be a black and white camera with a very high contrast. That's what used in professional systems. The use of color is not needed for the intended purpose and results in a display that is too washed out. Also, for use at night, you have to absolutely ensure that the camera is not affected by your backup lights or else all you will see is a blank display.
