AUTO-VOX Solar Wireless Backup Camera with 5" 1080P Monitor: 5000mAh Battery 2 Mins DIY Installation & 2 Split Screen Back Up Camera, IP69K Waterproof Reverse Camera for Car, Van, SUV, Truck, Trailer

A few years ago, I bought an Autovox Solar 1 backup system for my Camry. I went with solar because I wanted easy installation. I was not disappointed. At that time, I lived in an area where it rarely rained. The backup system worked perfectly. Since that time, I moved to an area where it rains a lot, and the car was parked outside. A few months later, the battery was not holding charge. I contacted Autovox. Even though the warranty had expired quite a while ago, customer service representative (Gigi) sent me a new camera panel at a deeply discounted price. After some months, the battery on this camera seems not to hold charge. I say seems because, the charging seems inconsistent, sometimes holding charge and sometimes not.When I contacted Autovox, Gigi, (one of the two best customer service people that I ever encountered), recommended that I consider this system with a 5000mAh battery. I purchased the system. Once the system arrived, I charged the battery and as expected, installation was a snap.This is definitely an upgrade from my original system. The battery charger and the activation button are on the sides instead of at the bottom of the solar panel, which is more convenient. The monitor at 1080P gives a very crisp picture. The quality of the picture even in low light is good. The antenna is inside the monitor. It was a short stub on the previous system. This system also came with a monitor holder. The monitor cable is long enough that it could be routed to any convenient location. The monitor connector that plugs into the lighter has a USB charging port, very useful feature for charging the phone. (Solar 1 did not have that feature). The 5000mAh battery is nice. The camera comes alive when the car starts. The camera can also be activated by pushing the button on the plugin connector. a feature that I like. (Solar 1 also had this feature). The menu makes setup easy. I have not tested the dual camera feature yet.I am parking the car in the garage and will know in a year how the battery on this system holds up. I am happy that I bought this system. Big part of the reason to stick with Autovox is that they stand behind their product.

This backup camera is the top of the line. My two sisters have new cars and my backup camera system is better than theirs. I love the time set you can adjust. Battery life is incredible with solar system. Still at 100%. So easy to install it's ridiculous. Grandma could install this. Only took about 5 minutes! Why buy cheaper one that you have to wire. It is worth every dollar. Monitor and camera mounting is top notch. Video is great. I love settings you can adjust easily. Waste your money on a cheap camera and you will be sorry. My son installed my two cameras on my vehicles. Good quality, Video, good mounting and good signals connecting. It is built to last even riding on rough bumpy roads. It was everything advertised and more.

We tried this camera for two purposes. First....as a general backup camera with the addition of using it to make hitching a trailer easier when you don't have a "spotter" and second....as a replacement for a rear view mirror on our truck with a slide in camper. We used it extensively on a just-finished 3500 mile southwestern US national parks road tripIn both instances this camera does the job. As a traditional back up camera I really should have given it a 5 rating. Video quality is very good/excellent even at night and it has little to no lag given that it's a wireless camera.As a rearview mirror replacement.....it's really quite good......but being too wide a lens at distance it presents a wider view than the mirrors on the truck. Hence my overall 4 rating.I know this camera is not intended as a mirror replacement....but it does work in the capacity. It just could do that job a bit better.Controls are simple and pretty intuitive.If I were to change it at all.... I would ask for a shorter power cord....or better yet I'd love to see one of these companies engineer a user-defined diy cord length option for those who would like and capable of doing that. Second....I'd like to see them include a longer "on" time for the camera than the options they have now. Perhaps as long as 5 minutes.All in all a solid success. Contributes significantly to safety. A good value. Dirt simple install. And it appears to have good battery life with the built in solar charger.

One of the standout features of this camera is its wireless design. Installation was a breeze and required no complicated wiring through the car. The solar-powered mounting system is incredibly convenient and eco-friendly, making it a hassle-free experience from start to finish.Good QualityThe monitor delivers crisp and clear visuals, whether during the day or at night. The night vision feature is particularly impressive, allowing me to see obstacles clearly even in low-light conditions. It gives me confidence while reversing in any environment.Good Tight SpacesThe wide-angle lens and dynamic guidelines make parking effortless. Maneuvering in tight spots, such as crowded parking lots or narrow streets, has never been easier.Durable and ReliableThis camera is built to withstand all weather conditions. It performs perfectly in rain, snow, and extreme temperatures, showcasing its durability and high-quality craftsmanship.Final VerdictThe Auto-VOX Solar Backup Camera is a fantastic investment for anyone looking to improve their driving safety and convenience. Whether you're a new driver or an experienced one, this product adds peace of mind and practicality to every journey.
