NATIKA Backup/Front View Camera,IP69K Waterproof Great Night Vision HD and Super Wide Angle Metal OEM Style Reverse Rear View Backup Camera for Cars Pickup Trucks SUVs RVs Vans (Black)

I needed to bring my dad’s 2006 Toyota 4Runner into the 2019 so I opted to add a Sony XAVAX1000 CarPlay enabled head unit, steering wheel control adapter, and this NATIKA IP69K. This set up works amazingly well. Let me explain my experience with back up cameras and tell you about this one. My family’s first back up camera came with our 2012 Odyssey. I was impressed with the clarity and the overall performance of it. Our other back up camera is in a Lexus LS460, and that one was just nuts with how clear it can be. It was like a real camera was used. From there I have had several rentals and loaner cars and even though they were newer cars the quality was so bad. The video quality looked like watching something recorded from the 80’s. I am not sure if it was a camera issue, screen issue or something else but they were quite bad overall. Fast forward to now and I wanted to get my dad a quality camera so it would actually help him. I picked this based on the reviews particularly about the build quality. I liked that it had multiple colors of housing, I also liked how they included different padding to adjust the angle. One thing I debated was buying this model or doing one of the cameras built into the light models. After looking for a while I decided this model was so small and so pleasing to see (meaning you don’t even notice it) that I skipped the two in one unit. I took the items to BestBuy to be installed. The first thing I did was ask the installer to look at the camera and test it out. He told me it worked great, and he was really impressed with the build quality. He said the grade of cables used, how they fed in and out of the camera, and the all the packing, extra parts and instructions were very top notch. He said sometimes he gets cameras where it is just the camera and instructions in Chinese, and this was not how NATIKA did theirs. I am not sure what setting he used for it. I think online it says it has multiple ones. I asked him for the most basic/normal view for my dad with grid lines. That is exactly what I got Overall, the camera is awesome. It is so clear in combination with the Sony head unit I bought. I recommend this to anyone who needs a backup camera for their car. You don’t have to get one of those ugly huge ones that bolt on to the license plate. This one is quite incognito and looks OEM. Are there cheaper camera out there? Maybe. However this one is pretty affordable and has delivered for me and countless other people.

This was to replace a no longer available front camera that I installed on my Toyota Tundra probably 10 years ago that had gotten very cloudly due to abrasions on the lens. This item used the same 4 pin connector so all I had to do was install the new camera and plug into the existing wire harness. It worked perfectly, image is bright and clear and is a more wider view than the old camera. This one is nice because it includes 3 angled shims so you can customize the verticle view angle, I had to make my own with the old one. If you're doing a new install, everything is included, even pry tool to help you conceal the wiring. Seems to be of good quality so I don't forsee any problems in the future.

Excellent camera with excellent customer service. A company that stands behind their product 100%. The camera gives a crystal clear video of HD. I use this as a front camera and the video quality is better than the rear factory back up camera. Camera is solid built. Well worth the money. Thank you!

I’m giving the NATIKA Backup/Front View Camera 4 stars because overall the image quality and functionality are very good, but the waterproofing wasn’t quite as advertised in my experience. Installation was straightforward, and the camera provides a clear picture with good viewing angles both during the day and at night. The compact size made it easy to mount, and once connected, it worked reliably as both a backup and front-view camera. The video quality is sharp enough for parking and maneuvering, and it has been a useful upgrade for my vehicle. My main complaint is the waterproofing. After exposure to wet conditions, I noticed signs that moisture could eventually become an issue, so I ended up sealing the camera housing more thoroughly myself using silicone around the edges and wire entry points. After doing that, it has held up much better without problems. Aside from needing extra sealing, the camera performs well and offers good value for the price. If you’re installing it in an area exposed to heavy rain or car washes, I’d recommend adding some extra silicone during installation for better long-term durability.

So I looked around and ended up buying this one. It was worth the price. Bought this was a 2014 Hyundai Sonata My pictures show my lathing of the yellow vid aux to the trunk. I went via the bottom of the car as it was easier and I didn't want to take off airbag panels. But removing the lower panels is incredibly easy, though you will need to remove the back seat (YouTube on how to do so for your car if you actually need to), and just followed the wiring, zip tying as I went along. I cut a hole into that wire socket after taking off the back seat and pushed it through. Then removed the panels on the trunk, back up lights, the trim, etc (YouTube is your friend), drilled a hole into the plate light panel and snaked the camera power lead to the one from the front of the car. Picture quality could be better, I don't have an issue with 720p and actually think it's fine for most eyes (you don't need to see the pores of people in the car behind you). BUT it could be clearer, think though that the night vision might actually be messing with the lighting during the day and that's why. So the wires that come with the camera, you know the ones, the white purple and green ones. People looking and reviews and answers people aren't really clear, thinking that little info will go a long way. It doesnt and people need to learn to actually say what they do, so I'll clear that up below. Green: the back up guide lines you see telling you how close to something you are(blue, yellow, red) cut this if you don't want those. Purple: horizontal or vertical viewing. Leave kf you want horizontal, cut if you want vertical. If you have a sedan or your trunk lifts up, leave it be. Anything else, like a truck that has a latch or the trunk flips open like a door, cut it. White: flips the image. So basically this is a preference. If you leave it alone, looking at the screen in your car when in reverse. It will be like if you were looking straight ahead. Right will be right left will be left. If you cut it, right will be left, left will be right on the screen. I left it as it cause it's easier. The angle(170°) is actually really nice and let's you see pretty much everything, which I like. The video I placed was at sunset, and you can see the quality is pretty good. Nothing earth shattering but it'll do it's job. I'd like to see how this hold up as people say it dies in a could of months. Though I'll see how it goes and probably just buy one for a bit more money if that happens. But so far I really like it. Will update in like 5 months

Added this camera to a 2017 Toyota Tundra when I upgraded the HU. For the price I think it is a great value and I have been very happy with it. Originally installed November 2023. Few months later we had a terrible ice storm and the camera froze. I reached out to Natika via email and they quickly replaced the camera no questions asked and it has been smooth sailing ever since, no issues and working great. I like that you can choose forward/rear facing (adjusting the image) and can remove the parking lines if you want. I did but wish now that I had kept them I think. It was pretty easy to install. The camera design offers some versatility on placement. I mounted it below my grille with the provided hardware and took some time routing the wiring safely. The image is clear enough for its purpose and at the price I am very happy with my purchase. Gives me a little more confidence when parking and greater visibility when pulling out of parking lots.

Not *super* wide camera angle but works well enough, even in night. I always reverse park and just wanted this to see how far back to reverse. I may or may not have given walls some kisses with my rear bumper without this. I have given my car countless car washes and has seen a lot of rain and still works perfectly. I like this camera specifically because it screws/tightens into the bumper and you do not have to rely on tape, like other cameras.

Overall, this is a fine composite video backup camera. It looks stock on my van and so far, so good as far as being waterproof and working as it should. The provided cable was long enough to easily reach the head unit at the front of a Grand Caravan with only one real flaw (see below). Installation will likely take you a few hours depending on your experience and vehicle. I opted to drill a hole and use the provided nut to tighten it down after getting the angle right. Definitely test your camera by having someone power the camera with 12v (using the battery is easy enough) and plugging the component part into your head unit before install! Very important to note is that this camera does not have an AHD mode like some other backup cameras. My Sony head unit sadly does not support HD backup cameras, so I'm stuck using 480p composite. This camera is more than adequate in that regard. It is clear during the day and bright enough at night especially with a nice set of backup lights. Adjusting the image or removing the lines requires you to snip one of the 3 wire loops near the rear of the camera. There is not any other adjustments to be made outside of angling the camera when installing. I provided two pictures at different distances because the image looks way better the further away I am from it. This could be due to the size of my head unit's touchscreen and the limited resolution of the camera. It just is what it is and not the fault of the camera. I would definitely recommend checking your head unit beforehand or perhaps before purchase to see if you can get one that supports AHD if you want a higher quality backup image. If so, then also look at another backup camera. The reason I deducted a star is because after installation, the camera became intermittent. I ended up tracing this to the cheap, tubular video extension connector - two black cylinders, one male and one female, that push together close to the camera at the rear of the vehicle. They should have used the kind that snaps or screws together. I had to go back in, put a dab of hot glue to keep the connector from disconnecting and tape it in place to the tailgate to minimize vibration. Pay attention to this weak point when installing this camera to avoid this issue.

Very good camera. Picture is clear and looks like oem

Works great. Good vision day and night

I got this camera to retrofit my 2007 Corolla. It worked like a charm and looks great, it has all the looks of a stock camera. Very solidly built, easy to install (you make only one hole in your car, maybe 2 in my case). Image is crispy clear. More than happy with this purchase.

My OEM camera won't work with my new headunit, this camera has a nice finish and is hardly noticeable on my car. I have it mated to a Sony XAV-AX6000 and simple cutting the wires to change orientation and remove guiding lines is a great future, one thing I want to mention is cut wires in the middle incase you cut the wrong one and need to join them back together, the paper instructions aren't that clear I went back to the instructions on this listing to understand their terminology.

The camera was great, clear image, solid build and looks close to a factory finish. A couple of months short of 2 years, it stopped sending a signal to the screen. I bought another one, because we were happy with the performance of the first one. Then messaged the company about what had happened (not really expecting a reply, let alone a refund) and they sent me a full refund for the original camera. Would definitely buy again if the need arises.
