I need a good Back-up Camera

osbornsm · 10-21-2011, 04:13 PM

Afternoon all,

I have a Kenwood DDX-512 in the dash... and a Audiovox Rearview camera and i can't stand the back up view quality. The screen plays HD video so that isnt' the issue. Just so much glare and crap on the camera.

What would you recommend for a good quality back up camera?

Thank you so much!

no prob. i had it on my car. its very good in low light and i think it has like 170* viewing angle and also doesn't get too much glare if its dark and there is a bright source of light.

Agreed.. I've had the CMOS 200 on my Z for over a year now and its been fantastic. The image is always very clear even when I turn the rearview on while driving forward. Great camera and while it does cost a bit its well worth the money.

+1^^

I have this on my G35 and it's pretty good. Clear picture, awesome at low light..

The only thing is, it doest have the lines to guide you. But imho, the line isnt really that important.

Is the CMOS-300 worth it? I'm debating between these two, and after having seen the stock rear view on a Murano with the lines, I like them. But is it really worth the excess cost?

Jeffblue · 10-24-2011, 02:19 AM

the lines are software, not hardware AFAIK. i had the lines on my 370z with the cmos200.

Whatever you do, dont be cheap, you have a nice ride, so get you something nice.
