Great backup camera in a small package.
We needed a new backup camera since we purchased a new KENWOOD stereo head unit. The camera display on the new 10.1” high resolution screen on our new stereo made the oem camera look even more hideous.
This new cmos 230 makes backing up so much easier. The view is much larger, in color and we couldn’t be happier. I still had to fine tune the camera position but you can see the great display.

Great camera especially when paired with a pioneer head unit. It has been on vehicle for 3 years. No condensation, no water damage and has held up to the Florida day to day elements

Kenwood double din stopped working. The old camera cable broke when removing the stereo. Bought this in hopes it would be an improvement. Found the video quality during the day to be markedly worse compared to the $20 amazon crappy camera it was to replace. While testing it i found it put lines across the screen. Decided against permanently installing and instead replaced the rca connection and used the old camera. The quality was incredibly better on the old camera that was still installed. Ended up returning this one.

Very Good Night View Camera

The Kenwood CMOS-230, is a very good backup camera if you have a Kenwood double-din stereo with a DVD, or NAVI display. You can adjust the parking lines, and I live in a dark area, so backing up into the driveway is no problem with no lights for this camera. The Kenwood CMOS-130 doesn’t have night view, but according to Kenwood’s website the CMOS-230 dose, and I can tell you there absolutely correct. I have standard reverse light bulbs in my 2010 Corolla, no need for led lights because backing up with this camera at night makes you see clearly in color display. The BestBuy Geek Squad did a fast, quick, and excellent installation job when they installed this camera. It took one young man one hour to install this camera tops. I picked up this camera for $50.00 off, so it was well worth the combined price $99.00 with the install $129.99. Yes; I recommend this camera, if you have a compatible Kenwood double-din receiver. It will make for an excellent needed upgrade. I, have driven, and backed up 18 wheelers for many, many years in NYC, that doesn’t mean you don’t need a backup camera for a small car; for example: In a Walmart Shopping Center, now that I live in Virginia.

Good this for a 2003 Toyota we were gifting to our grandson since he had learned to drive in a more modern vehicle. The camera provides an excellent view day or night. The only thing missing are the grid lines but since this is an older vehicle it will have to do.

VERY clear. Sometimes too clear - especially in very bright situations. It's hard to see the picture.

The camera was easy to install on my truck. I had plenty of wire to go from the rear bumper to the cab. I used the sticky tape and a single screw which is solid. It intergrates well with my Kenwood head unit. I purchased a second for my front bumper. Just keep in mind for forward facing applications the image will be reversed.

Camera was easy to install. Integrated fine with my stereo, which was a Kenwood unit. Video is good quality. Has the backup lines. Good value as I got mine on sale.
