NatikaBackup/Front View Camera: No Distorted Affect Starlight Night Vision HD Waterproof 720P AHD and TVI Hitch Backup/Reverse/Rear View Camera License Plate for Cars Pickup Trucks SUV RV Van

Added to kenwood excelon head in my truck for front facing camera. Works well. Clear picture

I am building two airplanes, both tail draggers, thus forward visibility is compromised while taxiing. I read where another builder had used it and was extremely satisfied. I bought two of these cameras. One had apparently been returned as the plug had been cut off. This is where the five stars come in. I contacted the company and they sent me another camera immediately. Then followed up to ensure I was satisfied. The camera is very good for my purpose and the customer service is extraordinary. I would think it would be exceptional used as a backup camera on a car/truck. Lots of cable and easy to install. The camera is well worth the money and the customer service makes it a HUGE bargain.

Have bought Natika cameras in the past before so went back for another for my new (to me) truck. The ones I’ve bought in the past required you to drill into the car so the camera could mount and look like OEM which was fine by me. This time around with my truck though mounting it on the tailgate was going to be cumbersome so I ordered this one instead since it came with a license plate bracket. As always the camera and bracket were very good quality and as a bonus the bracket tucks behind the license plate rather than sit in front so it’s very discreet. Quality as always looks very sharp and amazing for the price and night time looks good too!

Overall, these are good cameras for either front or rear installation. I'm not giving it five stars because the product description fails to mention the AHD video signal issue. What I found out after I purchased them is that MOST aftermarket head units DO NOT support the AHD video signal, only the analog signal the camera provides. The documentation is really unclear about this as well. On install, I found that the camera image is just fine for the application, albeit not High Definition. Based on my research, that would be the same problem with any camera with an AHD output and an aftermarket head unit.

My first impression of this camera was surprise at the actual size. It is quite small. I paired this camera with an Alpine iLX-507 head unit in a new install. I chose this camera because I wanted the option of a behind-the-license-plate-frame installation. Even with a license plate frame there was plenty of room for the camera to be installed.I also was intrigued by the AHD capability of this camera and the potential for 720p video. I could not find any technical information on my head unit whether or not it supports AHD. After trying AHD, the iLX-507 does not support AHD. However, I'm happy with the video quality at the default 480 video.The install was super easy, and made easier by the option to supply power to the camera either at the camera end- or at the head unit end. I chose to power the camera at the head unit end thereby avoiding the hassle of cutting into and splicing the backup light wires to power the camera. The ground must be done at the camera end, but that is easily done without cutting wires.The Alpine head unit I'm using is able to add its own guidelines on the video image, however I found the guidelines projected by the camera itself were a much better representation of where to direct the vehicle. The camera guidelines are at the lower portion of the video while the head unit lines were in the middle. I ended up turning off the head unit guidelines.Finally, I was pleased to find the camera comes with a number of installation aids such as a plastic interior panel removal tool, electrical tape, screwdriver, etc.

I loved the camera at night and in day time and it was so helpful and nice since I have an older car, but the camera randomly broke when it hasn’t been touched and no rain. All I did was wash my car and a few days later it does this. It said waterproof so this sucks

This HD backup camera works really well with the ATOTO S8 Gen2 stereo and gives a great HD picture. The camera is tiny and it comes with a solid stainless steel bracket that goes behind the license plate. It also works if you have a license plate frame. The extension wire is really long, so when you've got it in and working, you may need to cable tie things up for the excess.Picture comes on really quickly. I have it hooked up to turn on when the car is in reverse. Fortunately the stereo harness I used already had a cable for power and reverse on signal, so I didn't need to wire it to the rear light in anyway for that. You can also (using this stereo at least) go to a menu item and just turn it on.Also i mounted the other one same model NATIKA HD front view camera on my front grill (on top of the Toyota logo) and is perfect!can see all my stuff that I put on my front hitch. Is awesome and it was easy to install, I didn't have to use the red power wire at the extension wire side, just connect the black wire to a nut as GND source , and at the radio unit i just use the red trigger wire as power pole + to stereo and yellow male RCA connector to the female of harness from stereo , awesome, love this camera as front camera , and the other one WD-779 backup camera I set it on the rear and loving it so far.

Very nice camera. Solid construction. Good quality video day and night. Installation was straightforward and worked seamlessly with Dynavin 9 head unit in a 2011 Mustang. Customer support was super helpful with selection and installation of the camera.
