Review on πŸ“· Pyle PLCM24IR Universal Rear View Camera - Waterproof, Marine Grade with Distance Scale Lines and 420 TVL Resolution by James Julien

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent miniature camera suitable for car security

The product image advertised does not tell you how tiny this device is. I was expecting something the size of a coke bottle cap and it was so small I could lose it and never find it. PROS: Image quality is exceptional, almost as good as the video I capture with my 6MP. Canon C3. The viewing angle is pretty close to what is advertised. This was purchased for my truck and I have extra reversing lights on the hitch (where this camera fits) and there is ample lighting for the camera. CONS: It should be noted that this camera does not have infrared capability. It has no IR LEDs or anything like that. So if you want to buy something you can see in the dark, look elsewhere. The included video transmission cable is a 20-foot plug. Maybe that's enough for small cars, but not for trucks or minivans. You can just buy a good quality video extension cable (one end is male and the other is female) to solve this problem. Additional Notes: If you are installing this camera yourself outdoors, ensure that all cables are waterproof and not directly exposed to the elements. You must be creative.
