Very good camera!

I installed this on a 2006 dodge grand caravan. Easy install! The install was most of the day because i had to go from the back of the van to the front which it a lot of running of the power and video wire plus im a very very neat installer.. Most of the time was me being neat, You can't beat the price for this camera! This is a great place to shop.

Works well...

The cable has a rather large section that can make installation difficult if you have to pass it through any holes. Otherwise quite happy with it and it is preforming well in my Grand Prix.

Pick another camera

Pro's camera is expensive, easy to install.
con's camera is not water tight, so every time it rains the lens fogs up until it drys out. No distance markers

When the lens is clear camera works well

Bad Cam

I'm not saying this cam is horrible, but I guess I got a lemon. It only lasted for 5 months then the picture went out. I plugged the cam into various other systems and same result. The camera just died. The mount it came with wasn't very user friendly either. I won't buy this same cam to replace it. I will purchase a different brand.

Great for robots!

I bought this camera to use in a robot. We needed a fairly wide range of view, and also water-proofing.
The camera performed as we expected, making it a lot easier to control the robot from long distances.

JCAM1 buy better

The screws came out and the product fell out of the bracket. It's inexpensive but really it's cheap. Spend more and buy better.

Great little camera

I ordered this camera to replace another brand camera that failed. When I installed it the color and clarity was so much better than the camera it replaced that I ordered the second camera to replace another working camera. Very pleased and it was inexpensive.

Great Value

I would definitely recommend camera. Price was right and the quality was just as good.

so so

Unit works fine but picture quality is not very good. Very blurry. Warranty sticker is on the top of the unit so it is in plain site when you mount the camera. i had to put electrical tape over it so that it looks decent. It however did fire up and work just fine.

I personally wish i woulda spent a little more money to get something that you can actually make anything out on the screen. I swapped to my buddies dei unit and the picture was clear as day.

Good Buy

I really like the camera it has help me a great deal when hooking up trailers. You don't know how much time this saves me and my legs don't have to be getting in and out of my truck to see how far I am from my trailer hitch.

Poor product.

Bought this camera to go with new stereo unit. Withing a few months the camers had popper out of the housing and stopped working. Not worth purchasing.

good deal

Works great in daylight not very well at night easy to install mounting bracket is a little flimsy would recommend that you loc-tite the camera mounting screws so they dont loosen and fall out but overall great for the price

"Meh"

I guess I would recommend the camera based on the price, but I'm sure there are better out there, I just hadn't looked. The camera so far hasn't had any problems from the weather, (it's been thru snow, rain, and heat) No issues with fogging or water leakage. It does tend to droop on its pivot bracket from time to time, but that is simply because the screw that tightens the pivoting action often comes loose. Otherwise the only problems I've had with it appear to be connection issues to the receiver, (can't confirm that they are caused by the camera). So yea, it's a decent product.

Love this thing.

Used this camera several times on different vehicles. Works great. And very inexpensive. Works as good as any of the expensive cams out there. No night vision but thats what back up lights are for. Lights it up just fine at a fraction of the price.

I have owned this for 6 mouths I have a full size van and mounted it to the inside of the back window so far I have had no problems with it.

Nice Camera

I mounted this to the back of my Bed topper to help me hitch to my Boat. Its like cheating! It works incredibly well. I also use it to back into tight parking spaces. It has a low light feature, so even at night you can see really well. Its very easy to mount, and also it hooks to you car's electrical system pretty easily as well.

Works good, like it should but one flaw

I have had this camera for about 3 months now and it works great, and does what it is suppossed to do. However, I started noticing that the picture has become blurry, after checking out what the problem was, I have found out that there is water inside the camera. It does not seal well. Now I have a blurry patchy picture, will be looking into another camera, I may actually spend the money this time. But it does good, and does what it is suppossed to do.

Terrible product. Lousy picture lots of distortion and bad color. Bought a different one. Don't waste your money.

Clear Camera

I would recommend this camera, as it shows a nice clear view of the back of my F250 when I put my truck in reverse. It shows nice and clear on my Sony In-Dash automatically (due to the back-up input on my Sony XAV). If you want this feature at night, then DO NOT order this camera. It needs light to work correctly.

Good camera

Camera installs easily. Much clearer than my previous camera. I would reccommend it to anyone wanting a rear view camera for their auto.

Has a great picture for the price point. Washes out at night but you can still see what's behind you. Would definitely recommend this camera.

Jensen impressed me again

I tried this little guy out on my car for a bit, it's not mine but a friends. I had fun using it though I really didn't need assistance backing up. It works just like all the other ones and it's cheaper. My Jensen Head unit I own cost me roughly $350 from Sonic's ebay store and it does everything the big $ headunits do and sometimes more.
