Works well but not very well

car rear view camera RAAYOO L008 18.5mm 360 degrees did not convince me. It works fine and all, but after a few weeks of use I have to say it wasn't a great experience for me, just fine. The installation went very well at first, until I got to the point where it was time to adjust the camera angle. After loosening the small screw that holds the camera in the slot, installation wasn't easy. Once this screw is loosened, the chamber rotates freely in the ball socket. There are no guides or rails holding the camera in a fixed position or orientation. It took me almost an hour to straighten the image. It was very frustrating. After all this hassle, I've found that even with the camera lens at its highest position, it's still not exactly the right angle for a good rear view picture. I see more land than I would like and fewer obstacles around me and in the distance. I can use the camera to park my car safely, it's just not the best. In addition, the lens tends to hold back water drops in a rather annoying manner. This makes the picture almost useless as long as there is water on it. So if you live in an area where it rains all year round, this problem becomes a nuisance. In general, for me, this is a normal rear camera. It does the job for a low-cost aftermarket add-on.
