GLK License Plate Backup Camera HD Front Rear View Reverse Camera with 7 LED Night Vision 170 Degree Viewing Angle, Waterproof, for Cars

This GLK license plate backup camera works well—the picture is clear and the wide viewing angle makes parking and reversing a lot easier. The LED night vision is surprisingly good in low light, and it’s nice knowing it’s waterproof for all-weather use.

Straight install. Nice metal frame. On my car when the doors are unlocked the LED on the camera turns on to illuminate the tailgate. love that feature.

After having a bad experience with a couple of other rearview cameras I found on Amazon, I bought this one because it has the auto-light sensing feature that other cameras with LEDs won't have. In reality, all they did was took off one of the LEDs at the end and replaced it with a light-sensor in its place. It would cost them less than a penny to make this change so in theory, there shouldn't be any reason it should cost more because it'll cost them exactly the same amount of money to add this feature. I'm really happy with the fact that the camera casing and the license plate that came with the camera are made out of some kind of metal, I want to say it's some kind of tin or aluminum alloy, instead of some cheap plastic. That's a nice surprise. The picture is high quality, nice and clear but pretty typical of other cameras that you can find on Amazon. Everything else from the circuitry, the wires provided, the installation process, it's all exactly the same as many other cameras in the same $20-50 price range. Due to the fact that I had bad experiences with other cameras I've bought before, I wanted to see what's inside this one so I took the camera apart (really easy, just a few screws, it's very similar to the others that cameras I've bought). What I have found is that the entire camera module is first tacked into place with a bit of hot glue, and then they inject this gray epoxy filler through a fill hole through the case to encase the whole thing in epoxy. This is the reason why they make it all water and dust proof and qualify for IP68, but the problem is, something went wrong in the piece that I got. The epoxy wasn't mixed right and quite a bit of it wasn't cured and still liquid. I've uploaded a picture of what I found inside. You can tell that the left side is just a wet goop, the bottom looks like that too, also wet. There are deep voids between the LEDs and the camera module and the voids goes all the way down to the circuit board, exposing contacts and components on the board. This tells me that there is no way this particular unit could remain waterproof and it will fail. To me, this is unacceptable so I will have to cut out the epoxy and refilling it properly to really make sure it won't leak or have condensation build up inside. This is the reason I will not give it a 5*. I feel like a 4* is pretty generous already but I know this is already better than many other cameras on Amazon that are getting 4.5* ratings despite being actually worse quality than this. It's a shame because it's a good product, if only they have better quality control.

Very high quality materials, solid construction, effortless installation and straight forward operation thanks to the very clearly written diagrams with instructions. Excellent HD clarity and video detail. The additional led back up lights is the cherry on top. Very happy with this purchase!

This works very well. I installed a new Kenwood radio in my 03 F250. I added this backup camera to be able to hook up to trailers easier. It takes a bit of time to run the cables to the dash but there is plenty of cable to make the run. The hook up is easy and it has worked flawlessly for 4 months now.

Customer service was responsive. The camera works flawlessly. For the price it works great. I have had it several months now and operates like the first day. Picture is ok, it's clear enough to see what's behind you but it's no 1080p picture either. For $20 it's great though. Love the installation on the license plate frame. It's sleek and almost looks factory. Overall, very happy with the purchase!

I would give this zero stars if I could. The camera isn’t necessarily bad, but you need some sort of electrical experience to wire this up- IT IS NOT PLUG AND PLAY- and by the time you’re done installing it, there’s really no reason to uninstall it because of how much work it would take. The instructions are INCREDIBLY VAGUE (attached image for head units), you most likely will have to take apart your car to wire it, and the camera angle is not good. The lights on mine don’t even work, but as mentioned, it’s not worth uninstalling and my backup lights get the area bright enough.

This was used on a camp trailer and it is still in working condition today. Through rain, snow, mud, and dusty conditions. This product held up and is very durable.

Great picture night vision is great

Tried three different cameras this is best so far at least cost

Did not last two weeks before it stopped working completely
