Good less expensive rearview camera choice

I bought http://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics-License-Backup-Waterproof-TT-CC17/dp/B0092YMZJY and it works great for me.

You can use any camera. The one that comes with it however has night vision, that is the camera lens is surrounded with infra red LEDs that light up the rear view at night very nicely. Changing out the back up bulbs with high intensity LED bulbs also helps.My only problem with the unit was a vertical aberration in the plastic rear view mirror.

Most audio stores, like Car Toys, will do backup camera installations. However, I used Google to search for "backup camera installers", here on Denver, CO to find an independent installer with good reviews on Yelp who did a good job at half the price of Car Toys.

I actually just had Best Buy install the backup camera for me. I am not sure of the name brand, it was one the installer recommended at my local BB. The camera looks really great on the head unit and when I put my truck in reverse, the camera turns on. You have to go into the settings and turn on the backup camera, or at least indicate a camera is present.

All you need is a compatible back up camera. You may be able to get one for cheaper. BT and GPS are add on modules. They cost about $200 each plus installation.

I installed this camera on a 01 Toy. Landcruiser. In order to avoid internal hardware of the tailgate & to gain easy access to the wiring (without cutting additional metal on door) I inadvertently limited upper view to the rear. However horizontally is very adequate as well as the lower vertical view. I've been very pleased with this low cost camera. I had originally intended to purchase a Sony camera but due to positive reviews here I purchased this one with no regrets. As for actually 170degrees I can't say for sure. I believe for most applications this camera will work well.

Any backup camera as long as the plug is the same and it's only one camera but you can plug in a monitor if you have a rear seat DVD player if you run a connection to it

This camera could be easily mounted in the rear window, and the included power cord is certainly long enough unless your vehicle is really long.

You might consider a DASH CAM, as i believe those have internal batteries that charge while driving, and can still record while parked.

This is a good basic dashcam. However, I think that if you need it for legal documentation, I would buy something a little higher quality. I like it for my own auto, but you need to know that it shuts itself off if the temperature gets over 120 degrees in the car. So although I leave mine on 24/7, I often have to unplug and re-plug it in after it's been parked all day. Also, I would buy two 32Gig SD cards so that you can swap them out after recording an incident and don't accidentally overwrite your video. Also know that it is excellent for showing the basic forward view, but it doesn't have high enough resolution to capture license plate numbers even on bright sunny days. Like I said, it's fantastic for $100, but you might need something more.

Yes. After so many years using a rear view mirror I cannot use this camera to back up. It is backwards to what you expect. It is helpful to keep from hitting something while you are backing.

Comparable or slightly better than other point-and-shoot digital cameras I've owned.

It has just one camera that I use in my windshield of our RV motor home. There are other camera setups with multiple cameras, but the are obviously more expensive. This one is simple and easy to use. Set and forget.

As an alternative to the pricy metabones speedbooster you could also use the LensTurbo (Cheaper - look at the reviews and research done by others).Don't know if nikon to nex attachemnt is out yet.

The optical image stabilization used for still images is very good. The sensor is an older version of current sensors (this is a $250 body) so it has some noise. The digital stabilization for video is about what one would expect. On a tripod, the camera gives excellent video. Hand-held, it isn't as good as a dedicated video camera (as one would expect). It's a good camera for the price IMO. A nice, impartial review can be found at dpreview dot com. I added an excellent Richard Franiec handgrip to the too-smooth body. (Google him if you're interested).

If you mean a backup camera, yes. Im actually using one in my car. Is awesome.

I just got this camera, and I'm surprised by how good it is for the price (I paid $69.99 on sale). The better memory cards will let you use this for about a couple of hours of video I think. It's really easy to use too, and as other people have pointed out - a great starter camera.
