I was trying to think of a way to mount this on my new pickup. As I didnt want to drill a hole in the back of my new truck, and I really didnt want it hanging down from a bracket, I came up with this idea. I bought a CHEAP trailer hitch plug, the kind to fill in the hitch hole when your not towing anything. I bought the cheapest black square one I could get and trimmed off the part around the outside that was larger than the insert part. That way I could slide it in from the back of the hitch. Then I drilled a hole though the end of it to fit the camera size, mounted it flush with the end of the cap, and used silicone calk to seal it into the hitch plug. The silicone has some give to it, so it can flex a tad in cold or hot weather, and I can lock the camera in the hitch with the standard key locking ball hitch safty pin that I use to tow with.
I put a clip I made from the end of a clip board and mounted it on TOP of the hitch under the truck so when I am towing and the camera would be useless in this situation anyway, I just pull the pin, and clip it up under the truck onto the platform hitch, and put a baggy over the camera with a zip tie to keep it on and sealed.
When I drop the trailer, I pop this back in and my camera is active again. Just a thought if you dont want to drill holes in your truck or have someone walk off with it in a parking lot that has a screwdriver in their pocket.
The camera works fine, not great but good enough to know when to stop before I hit my garage door in the dark when i back into my driveway. It is great during the daytime, and in color too!!

Got this camera to use with a Pioneer 700BT radio. Great picture. Made a mounting bracket and mounted it to the top left side of the license plate on the rear door of a Chevy Express Van. You really need a camera with a Cargo Van as it is really impossible to see to the rear.

I have to tell you, when I saw this camera for sell for $22.00, I really thought I was gonna waste my money. I love being surprised. I’ve got a new head unit for my truck that has a motorized 7″ screen that comes with a rearview camera input, thought what the hell. The pictue is surprisingly clear and at night it’s grainy, but better than antisapated. It’s almost like military night vision. During the day the picture is in color (wasn’t expecting that) and at night, black and white. One draw-back is that there’s no mounting hardware, so be prepared to drill a hole about 1 1/8″ in diameter, but if your going for your bumper, it’s fine. So for anyone looking for a cheap camera that preforms, this is what you need.
