Has anyone tried connecting a different camera than "ND-BC1"? will it work the same?

is there a way to flip the image horizontally on the back-up camera? also, when you go on reverse does the z1 automatically show the back up camera? even if you are in other screens?

Yes,
The Z1 will switch to rear camera when shifting into reverse (Be sure to have your reverse wire of the Z1 installed correctly).
Some cameras are regular image, some are reverse image and some give you the choice of configuring to regular or reverse image. Which is what I recently bought.
Be sure to buy a camera with the better CCD type lense, and not the cheaper CMOS type. A 1/3" CCD lens is better than 1/4" CCD.
Be sure to get 110 degree or better viewing angle. 120 degree is ideal.
Look for 380 lines of resolution or better.
Finally, look for a camera with night vision, these will have LEDs around the lens. 10 LEDs or more will suffice. The more the better.
Also, some cameras have microphones built-in for outside sound, I'm not sure how or if this feature would integrate with the Z1 but I just wanted to mention it so that you know what all is available out there.
I hope this information helps you.

well thanks for the info... however i had already bought the camera... i got it for $60 including shipping:
-8 LEDs for nightvision
-Image Sensor: OV 1/3” Color CMOS
-TV System: NTSC
-Total Pixels: 628 x 582
-Resolution: 420 TV Lines
- Lens: 6mm
-Video Output: 1.0Vpp composite video at 75ohm
-Operating Temp: -20C ~ 50C
-Power Supply: DC 12V
-Power Consumption: <200mA
-Dimensions: 10 inches wide
-Wide Angle: 100 Degrees
i just installed it... i need to mess around with it.. but since i didn't want to drill a hole in my altima i bought the license plate cam and used anti theft screws. i thought it was a good deal for $60.
