Monitor displays distance scale lines, so you know exactly where you're going

Wireless Backup Camera System

The PLCM34WIR is a nightvision-capable rear view camera and monitor for your vehicle. The rear view camera mounts easily above your license plate and outputs crystal clear video over an RCA jack. And there’s no wiring required – this system is wireless, so you’ll be able to see behind you on the included 3.5” monitor in your car in a flash!

Perfect for backing into tight spots or moving in reverse when visibility is limited – it’s like having an extra eye. And this model comes with nightvision LEDs, which illuminate the area behind you at night. This small and durable unit will keep you safe and secure because you’ll always know what’s going on around you.

Video Signals Are Sent Wirelessly So It’s Perfect for Larger Vehicles

This model uses a wireless signal to send video data from the camera to the monitor, so you don’t need to run a video cable from the camera to the monitor. This makes it perfect for larger vehicles like trucks, vans, and limos where running the cable may be difficult or impossible.

See Where You’re Going – Even in the Dark

The PLCM34WIR features IR night vision and low-light illumination, so you can see behind you clearly day or night.

Weather Resistant Housing

Your camera is protected from the elements since it’s built with weather protected housing. That way you can drive safely no matter the weather.

Mounts Easily on Your License Plate

The PLCM34WIR can be installed easily on your existing license plate mounting locations, and is suitable for both top as well as bottom mount on the license plate.

RCA Output

This camera also features RCA video output for connecting to other source inputs. Use your camera with a review mirror monitor, an existing in-dash TV, a DVR, or any other RCA-compatible video input.

2.0 out of 5 stars It works but not great., May 15, 2010

This review is from: Pyle PLCM34WIR 3.5'' Monitor Wireless Back-Up Rearview & Night Vision Camera System (Electronics)

The unit I received may be partially defective but it is difficult to know if this is due a failure or poor design.

The monitor comes with two power cables, one for a permanent wired connection and a second for cigarette lighter/power port connection. I have not been able to get a picture from the camera with the power port cable even though the monitor does turn on. The first power cable has 3 wires. One for ground, +12 volts, and a blue wire which connects to the backup lights. The blue wire functions as a control signal to automatically turn on the monitor when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. When this cable is used and the blue wire is connected the monitor will receive the picture from the camera.

The buttons for changing brightness, color, and picture rotation are frequently non-responsive. If you are able to rotate the picture it does not stay in the orientation selected after power is removed and then restored.

The user manual is a two page document which is nothing more than a how-to for connecting the wires, a list of included parts, and the name or function for each of the push buttons. No information on how to operate it. The manufacturer's website has nothing more than the two page user manual and an option for emailing tech support. There is no list of FAQs or support forum.

It took a long time to get this product and if I had more time before the trip I purchased it for, I would return it. I would not buy this unit again.

The first one of these that I bought had a screen that was not on straight, and it rattled like a screw had fallen off inside. So I sent it back for a replacement. The second one looked fine, so I took it to a place whose specialty is installing such hardware. After sitting at the shop for a couple hours, I was told that it simply did not work. The guy warned me that the wireless units were basically junk, and the next time I do this, I should get one that is wired. So I had to pay $40 per hour for labor installing and uninstalling a piece of junk that "simply did not work". That being said, I bought these from the Amazon Marketplace rather than an individual seller. When I contacted them about both defective units, they were extremely polite, courteous, and helpful. They immediately sent me a prepaid shipping label via email. I requested a refund after the second unit proved to be a dud, and as soon as they got it back in the mail, my money was refunded. Not being able to install a backup camera was unpleasant and stressful enough. But Amazon's response mitigated much of it, and I thank them for it.

1.0 out of 5 stars service sucks!, June 16, 2010

I bought this PYLE (aptly named) from Amazon and hence from ANTonline. I had a professional install it but it doesn't work. The monitor seems! to work but the camera is dead the LED lights do not come on. The lead into the camera is "hot" but nothing. I have tried to contact someone about getting suggestions RE: getting it fixed or returning it or just what can I do? It seems as though when one buys one of these things they wash their hands of the whole deal. I certainly would NOT recommend buying this or any other product if their customer service remains so poor.
