When I got this product it looked so good. It worked straight out of the box as promised. But when it came to everyday life, it was disappointing.
The first problem was that I have a pick up with a crew cab and a long box; the distance from the back of the truck to the cab seemed to be right on the limits of what this camera would do. So when I placed it within the tow-hitch receiver - effectively a heavy metal tube - the signal from the camera was too weak and when I got a picture on the monitor it was very a jumpy and grainy, and not really of any use.
I got an extension lead for the power cable and moved the camera to the tailgate with the aerial poking over the top of the box. This worked great, even if it ended up leaving scratches on my paintwork - a price worth paying to avoid a dent in the bumper! But then I was frightened the camera would be very visible so could easily be stolen. Eventually I found a spot for it under the bumper where it worked acceptably well and was not too obvious.
Then one day I left my phone at home and discovered that as my truck's Bluetooth hands free system searched for the missing phone, so the camera stopped working. Reversing meant waiting for the ten seconds the camera was blank, and then quickly reversing into a space for the ten seconds it worked! Not practical in the average Wal-Mart.
All this would have left it at three stars, but this week the camera has given up the ghost. The wires coming out of the power cord connector had started to perish and caused a short circuit blowing a fuse in the truck. This was quickly repaired, but as I was trying to mend the broken wires I discovered the wires were broken in two more places. Again, I tried to repair it, but discovered that all this power going to the wrong place had blown the circuit board, and the unit no longer works. I got it in March and it died in June - not good value. It has not been exposed to extreme conditions of heat or cold, so all I can conclude is that the quality of the materials is sub-standard. But of course, because I have taken it to pieces and tried to re-build it, I can't now send it back.
Such a shame because otherwise I loved it! Why can't they make if of better wires and plastic, then it would get five stars (or perhaps four).

Purchased master lock back up camera, worked great first time even with vehicle equipped with voice command and blue tooth which I was told would be a problem. The tip to turn on the lights when using was just all that needed to be done. Backed up and hitched my trailer first try. Would highly recommend.
