So, I've been doing some preliminary research on aftermarket reverse camera systems, so far this is what I've learned:
1. Wired systems are more challenging for installation, but are less likely to have interference issues the wireless systems often have.
2. CCD is better than CMOS for the actual camera unit.
3. Camera must have night vision from either LED lights in visible spectrum or IR spectrum.
4. License plate mount seems the easiest, if slightly clunky in appearance.
5. Some systems will allow an additional camera input....so a front view could be nice at times to see how far from that P/U hitch ball is your grille?
6. Spend less than $80 and you're highly likely to waste your time and money, no need to spend more than $250
Tell me if I am getting this right? I'd appreciate knowing your own experience with aftermarket systems regardless of price paid.
Thanks,
Ken
