Default New rear backup camera with frame

back in 04, i was one of a few people that drill the license frame and put in a backup camera. I thought that was a best way (cost saving) and always against the idea of backup camera that come with the frame. BUT i change my opinion now. After found out a new product that work terrific and don't cost that much (way below the typical $399 price) i change it right away. Put it on both of the Z. Here it is








The image is no longer view as wideangle (bubble effect). This new camera let me view a wider range and the image is flat straight. Just like you sit there with a camcorder. I can even see the traffic from the other direction running. Happy with it.

+1 on the comparison pics

Also, the one you used to have, how many degree was the wide angle?
And the new one has a wider angle?
How is the night vision? Does it need a lot of light to see clearly?

Can you secure it through the otherside or is it just the 2 screws? I'm worried someone may steal this so easily.

I'll pick one up one night on my way to San Jose.

Maybe you can put some bolt on the other side so you would need 2 wrenches; one from inside and the other with a screwdriver? I have the feature on my Eclipse and really would like to use it already.
