Rear view camera install

[bredstein]

The next step after having a double-din dvd unit installed was to add a rear view camera. I bought a cheap Taotronics camera, and since it didn't have any night vision, I also added two 55W fog lights. It took me a while to figure out how to mount the camera - I didn't like the plate number frame design and I didn't want to drill a hole in the barn door. Eventually I made a bracket and put it between the hitch and the bumper. The pictures show everything. At night the camera is almost useless without additional light, but with the extra lights it works OK (compare the last two pictures). Oh, and the blue piece of tape is just to keep the camera from turning. I will take the bracket off soon and fix it with a glue gun...

I like the way you did this. What brand is your camera? I have a 7" flip out that I have the option to add a backup up camera to and have been thinking about doing it.
