Review on Camecho 9 Inch LCD Monitor HD Color Screen with HDMI/VGA & Remote Control for Car Backup, CCTV & Home Security by Cody Howard

Revainrating 2 out of 5

There are problems - security monitors and displays

The menu does not work. Had to be used with Raspberry Pi. It looks like the HDMI on the monitor is some kind of active HDMI and you need to turn on the monitor and the Raspberry Pi at the same time and hope they're looking for each other at the same time. The base is useless and dangerous for the monitor. I use Base but won't buy this because it has Base. I wish they had a pouch to protect the monitor and store the HDMI cable as I ordered it anyway. The scope of delivery included three different types of connection cables. Looking at this the monitor may be damaged but I'm having so many problems using the menus or even getting it to work with my Raspberry Pi that I'm able to send it back. Good idea, bad execution. I would like to give four stars but there are problems.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Nothing
