Default back up cam installed on front bumper?

i know its for the rear, but im thinking about getting one installed in the front. the car is sitting low, so i tend to hit the curb or scratch underneath the bumper. anyways, im thinking about installing an infared cam up front, so i know exactly when to stop.

Will there be any issues? such as heat from the engine bay that will cause the cam to malfunction?

Depends where you put it, but I don't see an issue with it. I just installed a real cam on my Titan for back-up and for watching when I tow the Z. I got it at Costco for like 80 bucks. It's worked relatively well.

Don't get a back-up camera as a true one scans backwards to give you a video like you were looking thru a mirror. They also are atypical and cost a bit more than a normal scanning camera.

www.supercircuits.com is my favorite place to buy cameras.
