To be honest I never got around to explore rear camera yet with all the things I have going on, but front recording is very clear day or night
Audio, side view cameras, 2nd Battery, Big 3

@Chrismnj , Question: Where is your front camera mounted? (not the dash cam but the one going to the head unit) Also, you mentioned a switch. Where did you mount yours? For the IBeam, do you have to manually splice into the blinker wires, or does it interface through a system connection?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you sir.

Maybe make a little bracket to mount it right above the license plate?
shouldn't be too much weight so you might even be able to fasten it to the billet insert@Chrismnj , One thing I would like is for the camera to be automatic, like if the radar sensor picks up something, then cut the camera on. how sensitive are the radar sensors? I see you seem to have it pointed "up", seemingly to avoid the ground causing sensor to go off. Is that how you aimed it? Is there access to the sensor wires to potentially make them the power trigger for the camera? That would be awesome. I just don't see myself hitting that button, even when I need to see, like parking. I guess after doing the work to install it, I might remember it. I would likely need it up a little further. Ideal would actually be on the steering wheel...
LOL! @07Burb , I am not nearly that creative... I have a small, circular camera that I was going to use, but I like his camera better. However, I would definitely need a mount of some kind, and it would need to be plastic. I don't work well with plastic as far as creating, etc. I would need to get one that is already made. I will look at the dimensions though and measure just to make sure.

Here is the camera that I got, it came with a mount, how about if cut a piece of your grill above your license plate to fit in the camera? At one point when researching cameras came across one that was mounted in chevy emblem maybe there is one for GMC, but you would have to get the sensor separately.

I am not sure how would you go about the front camera going on automatically, unless you get sensors separately and somehow connect the camera to them, so when your sensors go off it will feed power to camera or the switch in which case you would need a 3 way switch. As far as aiming camera up just wanted to get longer distance picture, ground didn't trigger the sensors to go off, with all honesty I don't use this camera that much only when I park super close to something only reason why is there is because Ibeam came with front cam input so I figured if its there why not lol.
