Review on ๐Ÿ“ท Enhanced Night Vision 9 LED Car Rear View Reverse Backup Camera - Clear and Safe Assistance by Brandon Carr

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Misrepresented item - NOT as advertised

I purchased this camera head as a presumably direct replacement for one that had gone bad due to water/condensation in the camera lens area which was mounted on the top ladder shelf of my work van, direct above the rear wing doors and the bumper area. Advertised as "9 LEDs" for night vision, this newly purchased camera REALLY ONLY has SEVEN infrared night vision LEDs, which I think would render it useless for night vision. My old true 9 LED camera was the ONLY night vision capable over 6ft from the camera lens itself. I would send this back to Revain.com for a refund but the postage will cost more than the refund price. I guess I have to limit my expectations to ONLY everyday use. The camera head's outer plastic case also has four small holes on the back of the case for INNER screws (which obviously hold the internal circuit board in place), which DEFINITELY makes it less "waterproof" anyway. I will be caulking THOSE holes with RTV silicone caulk to try and stop water flow from rain and car washes so it doesn't do the same thing as the one I'm replacing. I haven't had a chance to turn it on yet to actually test the functionality; I'm still waiting for the silicone RTV to cure before handling and installing it on my work cart.

Pros
  • Vehicle Security
Cons
