This review is from: XO Vision HTC35 Universal Weatherproof Vehicle Backup Camera with Easy Installation and NightVision (Electronics)
inspection of the camera showed it was made of a good quality. It is sturdy but not bulky. it is good size so I know that it is not going to break easy and should hold up to normal wear and tear for a long while. Install required I drill a hole in the bumper on my Ram 1500, not a big deal took 20 minutes. Instructions are very clear. Initially I leveled the camera (sits 26 inches off the ground). That was a mistake. even though picture is clear, you have no reference to the ground. An adjustment tilt on the rings of the camera took care of that. I had to dim one of my back up lights that was closest to the camera, otherwise the glare messes up the night vision mode. Cable provided would have been fine for a car but not for a full size pickup. Once installed, camera works great actually better than I thought. mine is flush mount, so I get about 175 degrees. If I had offset it out more I would get 190 degree. good color, clear and crisp. just dont expect it to work in the rain make sure you wipe it off once in a while. I have seen factory mounted cameras on Caddies and BMW. This camera is as good in most cases. The OEM cameras are only black & white this one is better because its color. Price is great. if you have any problem with backing up because of kids in back seat or blocked view you need this camera. I have already ordered one for my wifes Durango. well worth it.

I bought this to mount on the back of my 2 axle semi-turck to make it easier to line up the king pin with the fifth wheel. The camera itself works great, once I made a mounting bracket. I was worried the camera wouldn’t hold up to the abuse of bouncing around on the back of the truck, but it’s been a month now and it’s still working very well. My only complaint is there were no instructions, it was simple enough to figure out the wiring, but the camera arrived in one of those formed plastic packaging with the manufacturer name and that was it. No other information, no mounting suggestion, wiring suggestions nothing, not even a website with support help.
