Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have purchased a lot of products through Amazon and this is the first review I have written. I find the reviews very helpful and thought it was time I gave something back.
I was looking for a backup camera to help me in hooking up trailers to my 2005 Silverado extended cab. I settled on the 3.5" LCD Wireless Backup Camera System from 4UCAM because it was priced right and looked like it would be easy to install.
I was NOT disappointed!
Wireless means that there is no wire to run between the camera and the video screen. You still have to supply power to the camera and the screen. The wire between the camera and the screen would make the installation much more difficult.
The installation was fairly easy for my particular case.
The camera mounts to the license plate bolts and then you just need to hook up the two wires, black to ground and red to the wire that goes to the reverse lights. Since my truck has a trailer plug and the plug is labeled as to which one is the reverse lights finding the correct wire was easy. I also used the supplied wedges to aim the camera down as much as possible so that I would be able to see the hitch.
The video screen just happened to be the perfect size to fit in the overhead console where I used to keep my sunglasses. (I will have to find another place for those). I just put 4 little rubber stick-on dots on the bottom and top of the screen to help hold it in place after I jam it in the console opening.
This wireless backup system works very well and seems to be constructed well. I have just installed it, so I am not sure how it will stand up over time and how the camera will survive out in the weather. I also don't know how well the night vision portion will work. This will be important since I am often moving trailers around after dark.
I was worried about this purchase and actually wanted to purchase it locally so that I could return it if it did not work. I could not find it locally so I had to take the chance ordering it on-line.
Check out the video that I included with this review. A picture is worth a thousand words.
