Review on 📷 Marine Grade Flush Mount Rear View Camera with Distance Scale Lines - Pyle PLCM22IR by Daniel Steele

I just installed this camera and I don't know how long it will last but will update this post if anything changes. The picture is more than sufficient. during the day, but I do notice a slight flicker when I hit bumps (I can turn on the camera whether I'm reversing with my Pioneer sat nav or not). The flickering makes you wonder if it will last. It more than lives up to its purpose as a reversing camera. It is not designed for filming or anything like that. My Observations: I've tried verifying location with a 13V DC transformer, which works with almost everything I've tried, including Lowrance marine chartplotters, but it didn't power this camera and it just showed a white screen with lines on it. I almost wrote it off as defective, but as a last resort I tried battery operation. worked fine IDK why the transformer didn't work with it. The camera looks well made. I read a thread where a guy said he took one of them apart and replaced the o-rings. I have no idea how he did it. It looks like a solid piece of aluminum. I don't see a way to open it. It doesn't appear to be leaking as there are no holes or visible screw heads. My installation notes: I installed it where the license plate light is actually pointing at it, but it doesn't seem to affect it much. If you can avoid it, it will likely improve night vision. Look behind the bumper before drilling. I have a spare just behind the bumper. Even if it is not your spare part, there is often wiring in it. Before drilling, make sure you have enough depth. 1.5 inches of this camera is located behind the bumper. If you want it flush mounted and pointing straight back, place both rings behind the bumper after the camera has passed the opening. If you need to tilt the camera, place the smaller corner ring on the camera (flat side facing the camera, slanted side facing the bumper) before passing it through the hole in the bumper, and place the larger corner ring behind the bumper (angled side facing the bumper , flat side to nut), my mount sticks out about a quarter of an inch because it's at an angle to point at the hitch. It protrudes an eighth or less when installed flush with a straight rear view. Most factory tow kits have both positive and negative leads on the trailer wiring connector. I connected them. Now turn the camera on and off along with the ignition. isolates water and also prevents it from being disconnected from the mains over time. The video cable from my NAV unit was routed through the firewall by cutting a small hole through the existing grommet. I put mine through the trunk right under the steering wheel. I covered it with black RTV for good water protection (although it looked tight around the wire without it). I routed the video cable along the top of the truck frame along with other cables. As it approached the muffler, I routed it through/behind the heat shield along with the factory wiring harness. I tied it about every 18 inches. Avoid crushing points such as leaf springs, shock absorbers or moving parts. Attach the video cable only to fixed parts and route it around moving parts. The video cable will probably be too short. Male to Male RCA Adapter and add another cable if needed. me to a site that said it was the blue wire in the white 11 pin connector in the passenger side kick strip. With this information I found it in 2 minutes. I checked my GF 370Z and immediately found the same information. If you must know, it's located in the kick strip on the driver's side of your car (I forgot the color of the plug and wire). I gave 4 stars because: If I hit bumps a bit, the night vision is pretty crappy
