Brancky I don't mean to impose on you but if you have a moment could you take a picture of what the camera image looks like from your display during the daytime?

I saw on the Amazon reviews for the unit that someone else has this issue, and the response from the company is that the red tinge is due to the IR LED's being on all the time and is perfectly normal. I don't want them to send me another one of these things if the end result is going to be the same.

I would love to, but I'm about to board a flight to Mexico until Thursday. I'll get one then for you... The image isn't as clear as a regular camera and certainly not as good as the one in our Nismo Juke, but I wouldn't call mine red by any means.

Do it. Very easy to install and it does a good job.

I agree it's worth it. Honestly, even with the fact that anything green looks like it's from the land of Oz it has fairly reasonable picture quality for a $40 camera. The night vision is a little grainy but it gets the job done and then some. Also, the license plate frame itself is built like a tank which is a nice touch.

Despite the color problem with the sensor on my unit SunValleyTek (the Amazon vendor who sells this) has been accommodating. They had me send a picture of the display image, concurred that the sensor is faulty, and gave me a prepaid shipping label in order to send it back for exchange. The only thing TBD is whether or not they are going to make me rip out all the wiring in order to send it back as a complete unit or if they will allow me to send just the frame itself.

I'm pretty sure everything needs to go, that's the usual with Amazon

Actually I got a reply from the vendor earlier this evening. After taking my concerns about the wiring installation into account they have decided to just ship me out a new package. I can swap out the units, put the defective one in that package and ship it back with the return label they already gave me.

They are handling the situation beautifully and to my complete satisfaction. I could not ask for a more satisfactory resolution or better customer service.

That is reassuring, I guess that explains why this camera has 300+ Amazon reviews and ~4.7 stars. Glad I spent the extra money compared to another camera.
