Peak backup camera My X-mas Present :)

... I kind of found it to be useless and removed it ...

If you'd stuck with it for a while it may have surprised you. The human mind is impressive for matrixing images. I have 3 cameras on the RV. The rear camera is wide angle and points almost directly down (can barely see the rear bumper at the bottom of the screen). When a car is passing you, it appears almost vertical before it disappears from the screen. My mind doesn't even see that anymore. If I'm in the process of changing lanes, the turn signal automatically switches to the appropriate side camera & after getting used to using it, I don't have any issues with the image orientation switch anymore.

With the proper orientation of mirrors & camera, it could have been a useful tool once you got used to it.

I'm not trying to convince you to keep the camera, just wanted to add my observations so that you can make an informed decision.

Just remember that there is no magic cure for bad visibility, but there are things that can help.

(It just didn't look right) and the screen was hard to see. I kind of found it to be useless

The screen was hard too see because it is so small sorry! But I was though I made a informed decision You are comparing 3 cameras to one camera that had many issues. Coming on all by its self (interference from something) a very bright blue LED that flashed to let you know there was power to the unit (Really distracting at night) And last the very small screen with poor resolution. It is a cheap setup and it works like a cheap setup. There are better one's out there. I am with you on the no magic cure for bad visibility but there is a better one then this camera.
