Review on Enhanced HD 1080P RV Backup Camera: 7 Inch Split Screen Monitor, Front & Rear View, Waterproof, Night Vision, Easy Install by Derek Davie

Revainrating 3 out of 5

One of the best backup cameras on the market

Updated PM 8/28/2021: I've had this camera for a while and I feel I need to add information about this system that other buyers might want to know. 1 . One of the cameras stopped working. I contacted the seller but he asked me to make a video to show the problem with the system. However, after several attempts to send him the video (including posting it on Youtube), he still claims that he cannot access it. I highly doubt this is a YouTube access issue and not a reason to deny the claim. I feel like our communication has gone into a loop as he keeps asking me for the same information. The image quality is also very good, the refresh rate is very slow. While moving even at low speed, the camera doesn't update fast enough, so the image is very blurry. Due to the problem described in the first paragraph, I'm reducing my rating from 5 stars to 3 stars.- -------------------First of all, I want to say that I almost never leave reviews because I find problems and defects in many products that I buy. I'm an engineer and very picky when it comes to electronics. In the past I have bought various rear view cameras that I had to return because they were severely distorted. Most of the descriptions are very ambiguous in terms of screen resolution, camera angles and other specs. This camera from Podofo exceeded all my expectations. Firstly, as the description says, it has a 1080P screen resolution, clear and detailed. The maximum brightness of this screen will dazzle you. I had to reduce the brightness to 20%. The excellent screen isn't the only thing that surprised me about the quality of the cameras that come with this system. The cameras are very small in an all-metal body. Unlike many other cameras that come with infrared lighting to capture dark scenes, these cameras have excellent sensitivity. Unlike most other systems which start to display a black and white image in the dark, the Podofo system always displays a color image even in almost total darkness. These cameras have a true 170 degree field of view and when combined with glass lenses make an excellent addition to this system. I would also like to point out that along with a great product, Podofo offers excellent customer support. I don't know where they are but I have always received a response within 24 hours of my email. If you are looking to buy a backup camera and are looking for other brands, STOP! This system will outperform and outperform every other system on the market that costs twice the money! I ended up liking this system so much that I ordered two more systems after spending some time with the first unit I bought from them. Selling out quickly but I hope as soon as they get a new batch they will fulfill my order.

Pros
  • a handy item
Cons
