Default Don't buy that POS infrared back up camera from ebay

Wow what a piece of garbage. The images are so blurred I can't even tell my Mexican neighbors spray painted gold honda civic. Looks like I lost on this one. Anyone recommend something better? I'm using an Eclipse unit and should have stuck with that. Ah well lesson learn; don't buy crap on Ebay most of the time.

At least you'll pick up another positive feedback point as a buyer. Just trying to look at the bright side. --Spike

It's not a total loss. You can use the bracket with a better quality camera.

There was a piece of sheet on it to protect from scratch but it came off.

The bracket looks like the lowest grade of plastic from China.

I think that's why I hardly buy stuff from Ebay.

unfortunatly I cleaned it and rubbed the sticker off that had all the info. It isn't ebay. It was a major manuafature of back up cams. I cannot for the life of me remember the name though...
