Mine was delivered today. I hooked it up on my bench and powered it up to confirm that it works, which it does. It has two image inputs, one marked camera and one marked video. When you supply a camera signal to both inputs, the lead marked video gets precedence and is displayed. When you unplug the video lead, the camera image displays.

It ain't no Nikon, but I'm happy at $25.

I finally installed this camera and got a chance to use it. I decided that if mounted externally, the lens would perpetually be dirty and I was unsure if it is actually waterproof. So, I installed it inside looking out the back window. I bought a 15 foot extension and a double ended female connector (called video RCA cable) on eBay, so I can make a hook up at the same general area as the trailer plug connection.

The lens has such a wide angle that I found it hard to get used to using it to back up, but it works great to see who is behind you - much better than any rear view mirror.

For the money it works fine. We shall see how long it lasts.
