Works well, not too difficult to install
Bought this model due to night vision feature and no need for separate transmitter installed inside car.
Installed it at bottom of license plate, so as not to block name of state and registration sticker. Installation not that difficult, but the ease by which you can get wiring inside the car and over to your backup light's power determines this, not the design of the camera. You might need additional wire to make the connection. I ran wire into hatch, up thru rubber boot and then down inside of the trim to connect to rear light wiring. I was lucky that removing and replacing the trim pieces in my Plymouth Grand Voyager was not very hard. A 12v test light is very useful so you can figure out at the tailight connector which wire powers your backup light. I soldered the connections rather than using the taps provided with the camera.
Reception is good, occasional flickers, but that is to be expected. The image is clear and bright, including at night.
There is an antenna to screw on to a terminal at the back of the LCD in the upper left (as you face the screen). This is not apparent in the product picture.
Shipping was quick and the product was well packaged. I would have liked to have a generic mounting bracket included so that I could fashion a permanent installation more easily if I decide that the suction cup is not suitable. A little pronged "vent mount" stub is provided, which I have not tried. Currently I have the suction cup in the front cupholder which works tolerably well.
Good camera and monitor for a truck
After nearly a year using this as a back up camera on my Toyota Tundra pickup, I am quite happy with the way it has worked for me. I had no problems installing it, and it has worked fine ever since. The only thing that has been troublesome is that the monitor is a little sensitive to location on the dash or windshield due to interference being bad at several spots. I found a good spot just to the left of the rear view mirror and that is where the monitor lives. Works fine for me.
Great system!
I have purchased three different systems from 4UCAM over the last year. I installed the 7 inch LCD monitor in my motorhome, this 3.6 inch system in my Bobcat and another 3.6 inch system in my Wifes Subaru Outback. I give all three systems a "glowing" 5 stars!!! These cameras and monitors are great! And even more importantly, the customer service (Joe Lu) has been top notch! Joe has been quick to answer e-mails, even on Saturday and Sunday and has always been a pleasure to work with. I exchanged one of my systems for a different system with no hassles and very fast turn around. Shipping is immediate.
As for the reviewer who gave 1 star...I don't wish to call anyone a liar, but I have to seriously question the credibility of that review. It sounds more to me like a "problem" customer!
unhappy
First we expidited this order and did not receive it until two weeks later. Other things we have expidited from other dealers we have received within the next two days. Second when we received the unit it did not work so we took the unit to our local electronic store for professional installation and they informed us that the unit is defective and does not work. We contacted 4ucam and were told that all their units work and it was our problem not theirs. We have continued to try to contact them and they refuse to return our calls or emails. Buyer beware!
