Good product for the price

The product seems to work well. The biggest problem with installation is finding the right power source for the monitor. The camera and monitor cables can be slightly longer to allow more flexibility in placing the power and video cable connectors. The instructions are minimal and quite difficult to read. Overall I am very satisfied with the quality of the product for the price.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Not sure

How to make the camera look horizontal.

I wish the assembly instructions recommend mounting on a vertical surface. I drilled a hole, installed a camera and she looked up. I had to make a wedge shaped cylinder to make it look horizontal (see first photo). Then the camera would not freeze when left in the sun. I had to buy glue. It took me all weekend to install, mainly because I was thinking of different ideas how to properly mount the camera at the right angle.

Pros
  • Makes you happy
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Refurbished plcm32 unit

I bought a refurbished unit, works great, only thing is the camera mount used to be bent but didn't damage my rig. I installed this in the dash of a 2002 Suburban, I had to order a Revain RCA video extension cable because the local radio store doesn't carry one. I have to wonder why they keep the doors open at all. The RS staff were clueless, didn't even know what I was talking about. I took some photos but I can't seem to upload them anywhere.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Works well but complicated installation.

I used a PLCM32 with a camera mounted on the back of a 24ft boat trailer. It also worked flawlessly with a 50 foot video cable. It was powered by the trailer lighting circuit because I used the camera in addition to the rear view mirrors on a 1500 mile trip. This arrangement worked well for seeing cars directly behind the boat and was a great help when reversing. No blind spots! The only problem with this pack is the lack of instructions. NO instruction how to install the camera or monitor…

  • good stuff

  • lots of stuff

What assembly work!

Me and my buddy who is an experienced electrician and does almost all his auto jobs, it takes half a day to complete the installation. The sale requires a long wire running from the back to the front of the car. I hung it on the roof but it's not pretty. I can try to get a wireless connection for it. The power cords seem flimsy and very small gauge, it was difficult to find connectors for them. I connected it to the reversing lights. But after installation everything works great! I especially…

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Frequency

Display too dark, not adjustable

Easy installation. There are no problems. I soldered all connections and even used my own coax cable between the camera and monitor to ensure low signal loss and no interference. The picture quality is pretty good. The problem is that the display washes out with every sunlight and becomes unusable. I have previously bought a much cheaper LCD which died in just a few days but at least it had brightness control as well as image inversion. This monitor had no settings at all. The front of the…

  • Easy installation

Backup camera on a 2012 Frontier

Installed on my 2012 Nissan Frontier. I set it up so that the monitor was always on while I was working, and wired the camera to the reversing lights through the trailer's wiring harness. I installed the camera to the license plate screw using the large washer to hold it in place. I had to bend the camera mount to align it properly, but the image turned out to be upside down. Through trial and error I managed to rotate the camera in the housing so that it was right side up. Pros: Works as…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Fantastic rear view camera with monitor

I installed this camera in my truck and cannot recommend this camera enough! --- At $58 it's a steal! --- Here are some tips to make your installation go smoothly: --- 1. Test the camera upon receipt. A 9V battery is all you need. Connect the positive and negative leads of the camera/monitor with the same polarity on the 9V battery and you should see the camera image come to life! Image clarity is great! That's why I chose these over the wireless versions.--2. Purchase silicone sealant to seal…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Good but not great

Works well! for car electronics

I bought this reversing camera about 6 months ago and have been using it ever since. I didn't need a wireless camera because I was concerned that sometimes I wouldn't be able to see the rear camera image due to interference. Also, the extra work of installing a wired camera didn't bother me as I had previously disassembled most of my machine. Installation was relatively easy. The camera can be installed in two ways. The first is the hole you drill in the bumper or trunk lid (the hole is exactly
