Wireless license plate backup camera

For tight parking it is sometimes helpful to get the POV of what your bumper is seeing, so I installed this as a front camera. Pretty straight forward if you have a plan for wiring it and others have said keeping it always powered (connected to battery in constant on) is better performance. I have it in a shaded part of my grill so I'm not worried it will get hot from engine while moving but I am worried if it would overheat on a hot sunny day when parked for a while. Hoping it lasts this summer, but super easy to use a android tablet in my cab to see the feed and use other navigation apps. You can also record the feed to your device with the JoyTrip app or take screen caps. Very heavy fisheye lense and there is some lag on the image, but for seeing down front it works and I am sure the same is good for the back if your vehicle needs a backup camera. Likely not the best performing option, but it does work and a cheap and easy option compared to other solutions.

I bought this camera last year and just installed in my on vw beetle. We connected it to the reverse light know that there may the a delay but that’s ok. We tested before putting everything back by putting the ignition on but not started, put it in reverse, I was able to connect to the WiFi on the camera and it worked beautifully. We put everything back together and when to use it will the car fully started and in reverse, but it would find the WiFi to connect to the camera. But again with just the ignition on but not started it connects just fine. What am I missing or what do I need to check or change. My phone seems to only want to connect to my internet WiFi and see the one for the camera as not internet. My car is a 2013 and my phone is an iPhone 14 Pro IOS 18.3.1, if you have any pointers that would be great because a camera that only works with the engine off is useless.

The 7 inch screen is simple to install, set up and use. It works exactly as described, which brings wireless Apple Play and a backup camera into my old Jeep Liberty. Since my Jeep doesn’t have factory Bluetooth or an aux input l had to use the radio station method to link the screen to my factory stereo. It was a simple process and works flawlessly, even maintaining the great sound of my Infinity radio. The photos l attached are of my Apple Play screen, and one shot of the backup camera showing the view as l back out of my garage. This unit was very reasonably priced, simple to install, and exceeded my expectations by bringing an old vehicle into 2024. The only negative aspect is you need an absolutely flat surface to install the unit to the top of your dash with the adhesive mount. My Jeep does not have that, so l drilled 4 small holes, and screwed it in securely to the top of my dash. I prefer it this way, as it won’t fall off.

Love it! Works very well

The camera and image quality was as good or better than expected. It was easy to install. The biggest issue is you must open and connect to the app each time you wish to use the camera. Not only that, you have to start the vehicle to turn the camera power on and then connect it the camera once you open the app. It is a three step process before you can use the camera to assist in backing up. It was very tedious and not something you want to do in order to use.

Easy easy install. Just ran it to my tail light. Really impressed with the clarity. No night vision. My other wireless camera I had to turn off Bluetooth on my phone or it would stutter and stop. No need on this one. Super wide. It really is almost 180 degrees! I can stand at the corner of my truck and it shows. Very satisfied. Two wires and that’s it. 20 minutes max.

Works decently but the camera’s wifi setup messes up the CarPlay connection to my car, which means Google Maps, Podcast, etc. If I had to choose between the camera and CarPlay, then the camera goes in the trash.

In order to use this camera you have to first go into settings on your phone and connect to it's wifi, then open the app, and you have to do this every time you want to use it. If you use a wireless CarPlay adapter like I do, then I also have to disconnect from CarPlay before I can connect to the camera. It's useless...
