XOVision 2.5 LCD Monitor w/ Back-Up Camera

...

attach to the top of your rear license plate. If you can do that, the screen just plugs into the cigarette lighter, and you're in business. Worked the first time, for me. All these cameras are of necessity extremely wide angle, so that you see all you need to see, hence it is very difficult to judge how close you are to something as you back up. All they really tell you is, is there something back there, or is the coast clear. But that, as noted above, is all you really need to know.

overall is clunky (the camera itself is not adjustable and cannot be tilted up or down independent of the entire bracket it is housed in). This brings me to my biggest issue and that is the error in the product description--not just on Amazon, but everywhere on the internet it seems. The product description online claims 110 degrees of horizontal view which is superior to the typical 90 degrees of similar products. More expensive cameras can show 130 up to 170 degrees which would allow you to see almost everything on either side close to your bumper, but 110 is acceptable to me. This makes a big difference in what you can see from side-to-side, especially the closer you are to the camera (e.g. small kids or toys on the corners of you bumper). However, when the product arrived, the box and packaging clearly state that the horizontal view is only 80 degrees (vertical is 60 degrees)! So beware, you will not be seeing much on the sides as you get closer to your bumper--field of view is shaped like a pie piece, getting broader the further away from the camera you go. To me, it is most important to see things closer to your bumper which requires a larger field of view. This mediocre field of view was confirmed upon installation. If I could find a comparably priced system that was weatherproof (maybe this one isn't either if they were wrong about other things) and had a larger field of view I would buy that instead of this one. Very disappointed in the erroneous product description which led me to purchase a product that I might not have otherwise. The installation went ok...pretty much as described though I could not get the inline wire connectors to work and had to hardwire it into the driver's side backup light socket. Once installed, the camera functions reasonably well. With all wireless cameras, you will get some occasional flicker/static--more depending on whether you are near other 2.4ghz wireless interference (e.g. wifi internet connections). It works according to specs and does an adequate job, even in low light with the included night vision (notice the tiny infrared 'bulbs' on either side of the camera lens). Would be nice if the included LCD monitor was a little larger than 2.5 inches. My previous unit had a 3.5 inch monitor which was noticeably larger and easier to view. Overall, this is a pretty average unit compared to similarly-priced options. Don't know that you will do much better unless you spend more. Positives: Inexpensive, works, weatherproof (or is it?) Suggested improvements: Improve the field of vision and put the camera and transmitter in a smaller form factor that can be more easily mounted in other locations besides the license plate. Include a larger LCD monitor.
