Review on 🚗 LeeKooLuu F08 HD 1080P Wireless Backup Camera for Trucks, Cars, Sedans, and Minivans - Support for Dual Rear View Cameras, Stable Digital Signal, IP69 Waterproof, 8 LED Lights, Night Vision, Grid Lines, DIY Setting by Jose Haskin

Although rear view cameras are standard equipment on most new and recent cars, my family still drives a 1998 Honda Accord. One family member had multiple back and neck surgeries which made it difficult and painful to turn the head very far, which was obviously a problem when reversing. I've looked at several cameras and I think this one has the best value for money. The kit includes a booklet that briefly explains how to install and use the camera and monitor. It includes a pair of cables and a dedicated connector to facilitate camera and monitor testing, which is highly recommended prior to actual vehicle installation. There is a link to a YouTube video demonstrating this test. It clearly shows how to use those extra components that are not needed later. The brochure states that the wireless camera and monitor are paired when you receive them. In my case, that turned out not to be the case. The video above explains how to connect them (if needed after adding a second additional camera) and it was easy. This would not be the case if this became necessary after installing the camera on the vehicle! The hardest part of the physical installation is connecting power to the camera. Since the camera is only useful when reversing, the best source of power is one of the rear reversing lights. On this old Honda there is a space above and behind the taillight assembly that you can run the power wire and antenna wire through. While real taillights have red and black wires that clearly indicate plus and minus, reverse lights use different shades of gray. I took the bulb out of the socket and used a voltmeter to measure plus and minus. The T-arms included in this kit make it easy to connect without cutting or stripping the wires. The field of view of this camera is quite wide. I adjusted the position so that the edge of the rear bumper is only visible at the bottom corners of the screen. The monitor clearly shows objects on the ground more than 24 inches behind the vehicle. The camera is equipped with 8 LEDs and a light sensor that turns it on in the dark. The attached picture of my driveway was taken at 10:59 am. PM without any other light source. As you can see, the image is quite bright. The quality is not very good, but more than enough for the intended purpose. The monitor mount included in the kit allows it to be attached to the windshield or dashboard. Well, even on the dashboard, which isn't very smooth or flat. The mount is fully articulated, making it very easy to position the monitor for comfortable viewing. There are two handles to lock it. I have previously installed a phone mount on a dashboard. I've noticed that when using the phone's charging cable, the camera signal seems to be disrupted. After engaging reverse gear, the rear view image takes up to 5 seconds to appear on the screen and is prone to dropping out. Without a power cord, signal reception is typically less than a second without gaps. Overall we are happy with this new addition to the old car. The only improvement I would suggest is a quick release mount so the monitor can be quickly removed and moved out of sight when the car is parked. The suction cup is a bit sticky, so even if you let go, it takes a fair amount of energy to detach it.
