I installed my back up camera this weekend. I started to go with the through the license plate mount like others have used but since I went with a camera with night-vision I was afraid the license plate lights would blind it. So I mounted it under the bumper. I bought a eletrical box from Lowes and painted it black. I cut a hole in the front and then mounted it to my reciever hitch. I got power to it from the back-up lights...that way its only on when the truck is in reverse. I used the same source to go to the radio to trigger the camera image when you put the truck in reverse.
The night-vision is pretty nice and works well. It has a photo sensor on it so when its light the camera is in full color but when its dark it goes into night-vision (the little LEDs you see around the camera light up) and the camera is in the green and white night vision mode. It really works well...I was very supprised.

I think the install turned out pretty clean.

 

Ram-
Lets see some pictures of the daytime and the nighttime coming through your reciever!!!! I'm interested in that same camera, and want to see how it looks in the night vision.

Thanks bud

 

Ok..I will try to get some tonight. The pics of the monitor always turn out way worse than it actually looks though (even with a DVD playing). The night-vision images look as good as those you see on CNN or whatever when they are showing war images at night. For a camera costing less than $90 I was really impressed with it.

BTW...I bought the camera from Ebay seller "millennium-lab". Here is a link to the auction:

OK...here are the pics. Like I said they look a lot better on the screen but it gives you an idea of how the camera works.

Taken during the day sitting in traffic:


Taken at night:


This was taken out my back window at the same time as the pic of above to show how dark it was:

 

WOW thats awsome!
i did not think it was gonna be that clear at all for a night time shot. crazy! i'll have to order one someday

 

Nice set-up
