NOT 170 degree wide angle.

I bought this camera in July 2017 but I still can't install it on my Wrangler. On the first day I realized that the picture is not wide angle. How I understand it? I'm backing up to a non-existent column on the camera. I step back and stare intently at the camera monitor while my Wrangler is raised steeply and I can't see anything through the rear window less than 60 inches. Backup camera. It shows that I have green lines on the wall, so I'm happily backing up. And then suddenly I thought I was back in the war zone and an IED had exploded inside me! What I mean? I fucking hit a bar on my right and left fenders. I look at the monitor all the time and I can't see anything. I thought I might be delusional and thought I hit something. So I switch the jeep into a 4x4 and step on the gas. Apparently I only did this because this camera didn't show me an obstacle in its 170 degree field of view. Only my car claimed bollards and was at a 60 degree angle. I found that the camera's field of view was NOT 170 degrees. Unfortunately the lie from the camera reminded me of my Chinese bodyguard saying he controlled the entrance but we encountered an IED. I lost a limb and this time I lost two taillights because I trusted the Chinese observers.
