Review on ๐Ÿ“ท Conveniently Mounted Rockville RBC1 Rear View Backup Car Camera with No Cutting or Drilling Required by Huntsville Rawson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Infrared light is TERRIBLE, impossible to see at night.

I recently bought a nice touch screen car stereo that came with this camera. I specifically wanted infrared night vision. During the day the camera works fine, but at night when it's really needed, nothing can be seen. The infrared sensor, which switches to infrared when it is dark, makes the entire screen extremely purple and 90% of the time nothing can be seen. This sucks because I only found this out after all the hard work installing it and now it's going to be a huge pain to unplug everything and plug the new one back in. However, this is what I discovered when I brought the phone's flashlight closer. It worked great on the sensor at night because the infrared sensor turns off and there is actually enough light there to just see from the reversing lights with a regular camera. Please save yourself the trouble and don't buy infrared night vision cameras. I so regret buying this. Just a regular HD backup camera and working backup lights is ALL you need, trust me.
