📷 Enhanced Backup Camera for SunGo2 Review

I tried installing it on the front of my F150 but just couldn't get a signal. Fully charged, working in the cockpit, passed the camera to the front panel - no signal. Place the monitor on the dash facing the grille so I can see it when I go forward with the camera paired - once I'm halfway down the panel there's no signal. Strange, weird, weird - 45 minutes of trying and giving up. Went back pretty easily. I want it to work - I liked the idea and the design - but not the execution. I should…

Cons first: no night vision, and if you have a lot of stuff (I mean LOTS) between the camera and the screen, you may run into notches and lag. There's also no always-on mode, but it would probably waste a lot of time if it were enabled. However, I installed it on the tailgate pillar to look behind my Jeep on a long vacation. I needed my own hardware to get it working, but it wasn't meant for my particular setup. In general it works great! I could easily ride 20+ hours on a single charge. Of…

We tested the camera day and night and the image sharpness and brightness are impressive. You can install the camera and solar panel in different ways; We chose to stack them into a thin, neat looking bar that sits nicely on the license plate. Installation couldn't be easier. USB…

Very easy installation without modification or damage to your vehicle. You can use it on rented vehicles without wiring. I have it installed and use it to test my trailer while towing it. You can click a button and get a preview from time to time. It would be nice if it could run all the time, but would probably use too much power. Considering the simplicity and wireless solar installation, I think that if you use it at home for other purposes, you just need to buy a home adapter to power the…
