Well built product

The following review is for XCAMLP, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I haven’t fully installed it however when I installed it while I was in the front seat of my truck just to see the quality of the video it is amazing hands down one of the best rear view cameras I’ve installed and for the price point it can’t be matched. Nvx has some of the best quality when it comes to their products.

Great backup camera

The following review is for XCAMLP, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I would say it gets the job done. It comes on when you put it in reverse and functions as it should. Has a clear, colored picture to see whatever is behind your vehicle. The bracket is a little big for my truck bumper and can’t get the bottom screws in but that’s not an issue. The right side bar light worked for a bit but not anymore. I first hooked it up to my reverse light but I, for some reason, did not get 12volts to that light so the camera wouldn’t come on. The frame itself is very durable, it’s not plastic.
