Audiovox ACA250 Wireless Vehicle Rear Observation System Review

Audiovox ACA250 Wireless Vehicle Rear Observation System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
To start off with this product did what I expected.
I did call tech support and they explained that this is designed to transmit on an average of 15 feet; basically it is designed for cars and SUV's. Something about the FCC and the legal range. I have an F250 and I was worried about the last two reviews. It made sense that it would not work in a bus or trailer, it's not made for that.
Install was easy, the included Scotchloks worked fine. Yes the wire was a bit thin but they included the red ones for small wire, I just doubled up the camera power wires.
My kit included a long lead to power the monitor in case of interference and the Tech explained that in some areas there is more then other. I had a VR3 product before and they wanted $19.95 for the same lead. The camera is also metal, my VR3 camera cracked in a few months. They also included special anti theft screws so no-one can just take the camera.
The monitor has a swivel base so I mounted it next to my rear view mirror. Ran the power wires to the fuse box and I was done. I do not get the flickering, but every now and then I can see someone else's camera from a house or security camera. I had this with the VR3 piece too. I am guessing if it was 5.8Mghz it would see other 5.8 stuff too ???
The camera had a much better viewing angle then the other and the night vision helps a lot too because the back up lights on my truck are useless. I can also see my hitch with no problem at all. There is a little static but not bad. We put one in a 4Runner and that one works great.
For the price I am happy with it.

XO Vision HTC35 Universal Weatherproof Backup Camera with NightVision Review

I bought this to mount on the back of my 2 axle semi-turck to make it easier to line up the king pin with the fifth wheel. The camera itself works great, once I made a mounting bracket. I was worried the camera wouldn't hold up to the abuse of bouncing around on the back of the truck, but it's been a month now and it's still working very well. My only complaint is there were no instructions, it was simple enough to figure out the wiring, but the camera arrived in one of those formed plastic packaging with the manufacturer name and that was it. No other information, no mounting suggestion, wiring suggestions nothing, not even a website with support help.

Headlamp LED Flex Strips (2 pack) Review

Was a little apprehensive at first due to the cost. Since installation, I have changed my mind. This product is awesome! LEDs are very bright and function as Day Time Runners. Very easy to install. Placed on a 2001 C320 Mercedes Benz. Gave a whole new custom look to the front end of the car. Would, (and probably will), purchase again.

PYLE PLCM22IR Flush Mount Rear View Camera with 0.5 Lux Night Vision Review

Average Reviews:

Item arrived with all specified parts and in working order (including the drill bit)
Installation is a little time consuming, so don't take this on if it's your first try at car audio / video. Unfortunately there were no instructions, and wires on the harness from the camera were unlabeled but luckily they were easy to figure out.
The video out line is easy to spot as its the industry standard yellow RCA cable (17' extension included)
The positive voltage that powers the camera is the wire that has the fuse in it (this line connects to the white back-up light in your tail lights and powers the camera)
The remaining line is the ground and can be attached to almost any bare metal on vehicle, I usually choose a screw somewhere close.
The cables included are long, but you may need to an extension for the power wire (to tell the receiver when to turn on the rear view monitor). I chose to extend the wire from the tail light so the video camera and the receiver got the same signal.
The top of the camera is not noted, so you'll have to adjust it after installation.
The camera automatically adjusts between regular and IR mode and the LED's around the lens will not light up. You'll know when it's in IR mode as the picture will change from color to B&W.
The field of view is a little constricted compared to many cameras, but its enough for me (I can't see the corners of the vehicle, but can see behind me).
