4.0 out of 5 stars Good Camera at a Good price, December 6, 2009

This review is from: PYLE PLCM22IR Flush Mount Rear View Camera with 0.5 Lux Night Vision (Electronics)

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).

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Camera, missing hole saw, May 31, 2009

This review is from: PYLE PLCM22IR Flush Mount Rear View Camera with 0.5 Lux Night Vision (Electronics)

I'd installed the camera in my Jeep Grand Cherokee with Pioneer 5600 DVD. The Installation was not simple, since I had to add extra video cable (the power cable is longer). As I noticed in other review, the hole saw that was supposed to come included in the kit was missing so I had to buy another one to be able to make the proper hole. The camera is water and dust resistant, and has a clear night vision, but since it has no angular lens (peep hole type) it doesn't cover both ends of the bumper and right there you miss the whole point of having a rear view camera. Just because of that, I would suggest further research of other similar products.

4.0 out of 5 stars Image quality good, angle not as wide as I'd like, March 11, 2009

Overall this seems like a very good camera. The quality seems good and so far has not had any issues due to weather like previous cameras. I didn't want to drill a hole in the body of my truck to accommodate this camera so I installed it into a plastic housing under the bumper. It gets a good view, but surprisingly it can't actually see to the corners of the vehicle. The viewing angle of the camera almost makes it, but objects have to be 3-4 feet away (behind) the corners in order for the camera to pick them up. In the worst case, if something were right at the bumper on either side but just out of view of the side mirrors, you wouldn't be able to see it and could hit it. Other than this, if you're starting out somewhere that you know to be clear, then you're OK and can use your mirrors and camera to make it all work. The image quality is quite good, and at night can see well too.
