I have had the v1 device in my truck for a few years and, with the exception of the GPS module experiencing the common power failure (I swapped the power cable back to the camera and all is well), I have had zero issues with it.
With that said...
- There is a definite loss of visibility around the periphery when driving at night (non-lit roads), but I expect this to at least a certain extent.
- The overall image quality for viewing back later is good, but isn't 'great' (it is not easy to read license plates of other cars, for example, and that could make it difficult use any recorded data if there were an incident.
- I'm looking to move to a system that can also provide rear view.
- I'm looking to move to a system that has a very good parking mode (have never tried this one).
- I'm looking to be able to use this in a convertible where there isn't a place to mount a different camera for the rear view.
With all of that in mind, what would be a good recommendation for a new camera for the new vehicle that won't break the bank?
