Yeah, good question. The shop I'm using wants to use one of those for the rear view on my truck. I'm also going to have a bullet cam mounted on my Lance Truck Camper for when I'm towing the boat/motorcycle trailer.

 

Price was about the same $225 as the Pioneer.

I got one off ebay for $150 and it works excellent.

I use them and have them. $119 is my price and they work decently. Better in my opinion so you dont have to give up a lock cylinder and mounts rather easily.

you can find that same camera on ebay much cheaper.

that 'looks' like the camera I have and that many have stated they have used here.

the cylinder looks the same but it has a full frame around it.

What about theft protection ob these? Easy to steal or not?

Posted Feb 09, 2007 · 06:31 UTC#10

sure, but what about the wiring? that would take a bit more.

is there anyone using this camera? http://www.avelectronic.com/License-Camera.htm

 

That looks like the one I got off ebay. But mine was under $150.

Not the best price around, but it seems like it works well. And once I ran the wires into the truck, I tiewrapped them up. I suppose someone could steal the camera, but as tillithz said you would have to cut the wires. You could always get some "security" screws for the license plate.

I'm using that camera. The picture is excellent, day and night. One thing to consider is you will have to drill thru the back door. The irony is the threads on the bolts are the same as on the standard license plate. If you look close at the plate frame you will see the hex head is recessed. That means there is no way to screw the bolt all the way into the frame. This was done as a security feature, so you will have to drill out the threads. Then I did something I may regret someday. I drilled the two holes on the bottom of the frame thru the door. My cameras not going to be stolen, but I will always four bolts thru some frame should I take out the camera.

drill out what threads? just get a bolt that has a head slightly smaller then the hex opening. works fine for me, or you can use the supplied screws that come with the one i have.

Question, can the camera be removed from the frame?

 

It is nice and small, would like to it mount in my bumper.

Where have you been with that info? :P

 

I just ordered one, thanks a million.

 

Now I will have two, maybe I can put one in the front? :roll:

Except that your picture would be reversed.

Posted Feb 12, 2007 · 23:19 UTC#18

Not reversed, but mirrored.

Posted Feb 12, 2007 · 23:25 UTC#19

what do you think he meant by reversed ? same thing

Posted Feb 12, 2007 · 23:30 UTC#20

Not really the image could be reverse where white becomes black and vice versa. :wink: Just trying to continue in the smart-ass-i-ness that runs rampant here. :D By the way welcome to the 1000+ post club.

he likely didnt mean reverse as in colors, but as in image. hence why he said picture, not color
