Default Backup Camera

I was wondering if anyone is running a reverse camera with their indash lcd. I just got dark tints and its pretty hard to see out the back after dark. I was looking at some on amazon with night vision but don't know if its bs or not. Not really too many options as far as mounting too, above the license plate i was thinking. Any help would be great.

I've had one for years. I removed the trunk keyhole and mounted it in there. You hardly notice it. I have it hooked up to my screen. I also removed my review mirror and put the screen in its place.

I honestly dont remember since I installed it about 8 or 9 years ago. They are fairly inexpensive. The screen is the most expensive part of the setup.

I just had a Kenwood CMOS-200 installed above the license plate next to the license plate light. It doesn't have night vision, but the light sensitivity is excellent. The reverse lights emit more than enough illumination.

do u have a pic of the camera mounted? Is the whole camera mounted from the inside of the trunk or is the lens on the outside of the keyhole?

I just installed a Kenwood BT-901 and connected a "Lock Pick Bar-Cam 221" to it. It's mounted to the license plate frame. Works great!
