NatikaBackup/Front View Camera,IP69K Waterproof Great Night Vision HD and Super Wide Angle Metal OEM Style Reverse Rear View Backup Camera for Cars Pickup Trucks SUVs RVs Vans (Black)

My initial thoughts were favorable right out of the box, the camera was shipped with all required parts and good instructions. The small roll of electrical tape was a nice touch as well - although I soldered & shrink wrapped all connections.I installed this on a 95 Honda Accord in the center of the trunk lid with signal sent to Kenwood DMX8709S HU. Was able to use an existing hole, made it a bit wider and used the smallest angle shim pad to include the bumper edge as a parking reference. First picture shows the install, it's almost invisible with black on black. I sealed the edge between the camera and the deck lid to help ensure no water gets in.Running the wires took the greatest amount of time, but the payoff is worth it. Be careful as you fish the wires through, as they are rather slender. I connected the rear red wire to the backup lights. This was enough to power the camera and trigger the reverse display (camera is grounded in the harness) but I went ahead and connected the ground wire in the taillight area as well for redundancy.I've included both day and night images, the night is a little grainy but it is enough to see what is behind you. Please note the guide lines are from my HU and not the camera. I clipped the green loop to disable the camera guide lines and wrapped both the green wires and the other loops to prevent damage to the wiring harness and/or inadvertent grounding.While the install took several hours, that's due to the installer and not the camera. I'm happy with the capability, it's not HD resolution, but it provides a good rear view for parking. We'll see how long it lasts, I'm hoping the security of the wiring will help ensure good service. Happy with the camera at this price point.

I installed this as a front camera. The camera came with clear instructions so you get the correct view depending on where you mount it. Camera housing is solid metal with metal threads for mounting. Camera view is as good as the the factory installed rear camera, and provides a wide view.I had one technical issue with the camera. I contacted their customer service and Jason took care of everything the same day. It’s been installed for a few weeks now and zero problems. Few companies stand by their products or are as responsive as Natika.

Solid performance so far, though mine was a challenging install. I installed as a lip mount on the chrome molding on my trunk. What I thought was a solid placement ended up being a problem as the nut (and possibly the threaded mounting post) from the kit was bumping up against the trunk due to the portion of the trunk underneath the chrome molding being angled (think of it being a triangular shape underneath the molding rather than a square-like shape). The molding wouldn't sit flush with where the camera was placed. I basically ended up lengthening the hole using the drill bit as a workaround dremel (didn't want to have to go dig it out). I ended up with an oblong hole that ultimately was functional but created some headaches trying to get things fitted. Thankfully, despite my vehicle being a 2007 Toyota Yaris, the chrome trunk molding had a little outline for where a factory camera might be placed, offering a sense of the angle that the camera should ideally be at when installed to the side of the license plate. I double checked our Subaru's camera and it also has a slight angle pointing the camera toward the center of the vehicle. That said, having to move the camera away from the trunk resulted in a camera that is basically flush and perhaps just slightly protruding beyond the edge of the chrome molding instead of being more recessed under the lip, which would be ideal.The challenges I had were more an issue with the vehicle, but potential improvements to the product that would've helped would be:1) Having the threaded mounting post be more centered from front to back on the base of the camera. Trunk moldings/trim vary and I assume there is some reason for the design, but if the post were centered on the base of the camera, it's likely that the efforts to move the hole would have been less of an issue. The chrome molding has a horizontal lip underneath, which then angles slight up as a subtle beveled edge (see pics). Having to move the camera away from the vehicle meant that instead of having the front of the camera be mostly in line with the beginning of that beveled edge, the front of the camera ended up significantly overhanging that edge. I ended up using one of the wedges to basically fill that space at the front rather than using it to angle the camera. It's not a perfect solution, but it should be workable overall.2) Shorter threaded post. This would help with more shallow install locations like mine.3) Flatter nut. Possibly narrower as well. Basically whatever might help minimize the space taken up by the hardware on the back/underside of the camera.Things I like?As advertised, the smaller non-RCA neck on the camera cable means I was able to use one of the original holes in the trunk as the pass thru. It was a hole used for a retaining clip on the molding. Based on the number of bolts and two other retaining clips in the molding, I decided the clip in question was optional (it was also removable from the molding, making things easier). In sum, I didn't have to drill through the metal of the trunk to get the camera cable wired and attached throughout the trunk lid.The image is very good in low light (see pics), especially compared to the stock 2017 Subaru Forester backup camera. The low light performance is great to have as the primary reason for the camera is due to the tint we have on the vehicle. When in reverse I've found the tint is problematic when looking over the shoulder or in the mirror out the back of the vehicle. The reverse lights just don't provide enough illumination to help when looking through the tint in reverse when it's dark out. The trade off with this camera is the pronounced fish-eye effect. The Subaru camera looks basically representational of what you see with the naked eye while this one has the extra curvature to the image around the edges.All in all, a very useful and workable product. I'm not sure I'll install one again on my own given the amount of time it took to troubleshoot everything and get things lined up. I might just pay the local big box chain to do it if I get another CarPlay receiver installed in our other vehicle that doesn't have a backup camera. That said, given the learning experience with this install, it might make things more feasible with the next one.

OEM look and high quality. Image appears crisp and clear when used with a great monitor. I love how the manufacturer simplified the wiring process compared to some of the competitors as it was not too bad if the planning is just right. I love that my older vehicle now has a backup camera!
