Which back up camera to get?

Any recommendations on back up cameras?

I have one of the iBall cameras and it works pretty well. It's designed for hooking up to your trailer, but can also be used for a roof camera while you're sleeping or if you have a trailer with no front view. It gives a clear if slightly fisheyed view of whatever it's pointed at. They say that it doesn't have enough range to send its signal from the back of a long trailer to the cab of your tow vehicle, but it works great for anything in and around your van or car. I've never exceeded its range myself, but they say that's an issue. Also it needs light, like daylight or parking lot lights, to operate.

I bought a camera from rearview safety. Way more than just a simple backup camera because it comes with a multiplexor so I can add two more cameras later. They have lots to choose from. I was happy with the company and they give a 10% discount for veterans.

This the camera I bought. I am quite happy with it.

Just ordered from rearviewsafety... I like that they have systems specific to each type of van.

So the backup camera system came and I think it looks fine but now my husband says he wants an audio system with Bluetooth as well all in one unit. :dodgy: Wish he'd done the research first before I ordered this. Now I have to send it back and I hate  taking stuff back.

Does anybody have one of these types of systems that they can recommend?

I put the jenson vx7020 in Trevor. It has blue tooth, steering wheel control wiring, built in GPS and can even play DVD's. It's a bottom end unit, there are others with more features but this one had the features I wants and a decent price. Someday I'll do an in depth review of the crap I installed in the van and my reasons (which are the only reasons that matter to me). I normally only have the radio on for background noise and on a long trip I have music on a memory stick I could use.
