Back up Camera

Whats up guys, i have a 7" in dash screen in my truck, and I want to add a back up camera but I don't know where to get a good one. I looked on ebay and there are a million different kinds, so just looking for a little input. Thanks!

i bought a cheap one from ebay & it worked great until it rained. then it had this haze to it. ended up getting a Boyo. huge price difference. (ebay was about $25 while the boyo was $120) but it is by far way better.

Cool, I looked around and bought a flush mount one. I'm pretty excited to get it up and going. I wonder how to make it come on the screen when the truck is put into reverse. Did you have yours like that, or did you just turn it on with the screen when you needed it?

my indash has the option for the backup camera.. you tap into the reverse wire under the cab.. when i shift into reverse it automatically pops up on the screen and goes back to home screen when shifted back into drive..

the reverse wire is connected to the tranny right?? I would definately like to do this, and make a switch so that I can turn on the camera when ever I want without it being in reverse as well.
