Hi Guys,
I did this today, thought some of you might want to check it out incase your thinking of getting a backup camera.
Pros:
Good safety-- I feel more relaxed about backing out of the driveway.
Good Looking-- Looks as if it is built into the car. I had to do some modifications, such as move the cords in the backup camera so they dont show up anywhere.
Good Resolution-- The camera works good in both the day time and the night time. Clear picture.
Cons:
Hard To Install: Due to the camera being wireless you have to mount the router somewhere "close" to the monitor or you will get a blurry and distorted picture.
The package also said "Installs in minutes" well it took me over an hour to install, and even though I'm only 15, I am very good with cars.
Hidden Information: When the package says "wireless" it isn't being very truthful. The camera, which has a wire, goes all the way to the router, which has 2 wires, which goes to the reverse light and back to the camera. I was expecting for their to only be one wire that connected from the camera to the reverse light.
Small Monitor: The monitor that is included with the camera (shown in pictures) is only 2.3''. This is a very small screen and it is hard to actually see objects that are behind you. Although, its very useful, it should have a bigger screen.
I hope this helped anyone who was looking into buying a backup camera. Overall, I am satisfied with this product but, I feel that Peak has a little bit of improving to do!
