Rear facing camera

I bought a cheapo camera last year from Amazon as I did not want an expensive model (saved that for the main dashcam). It was an E-Prance and was fine on the picture quality but it died the other month and I binned it with a view to replacing it at some point.

I want to avoid the real cheapo stuff this time (the instructions for it were mostly Russian and appeared to refer to a microwave from the 80's Laughing ) so perhaps there is some middle ground cost wise. Up to £100 perhaps.

Any recommendations? LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

United Kingdom 2015 Freelander 2 TD4_e SE Manual Orkney Grey

Well theres good and bad with everything i suppose, some folk will get a Friday afternoon one and some get one that goes on forever, ive had my FL2 for just over a year and had no issues but i know some have had them pack up already, price isnt always a factor either,
Is there a way to make the reversing camera function as a video to record in the same way as the forwards ones when youre not actually using it for reversing i wondered?

Mine failed gradually. It went through a phase of the screen going all manky and the whole unit had locked up. Unplugging it until it switched off solved this but it became more frequent until one day just a blue screen!

Oh well! I best hold fire until the new motor arrives in any case. Need 2 12v sockets after all. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Just checked it out and its the same one I had but with a different name obviously. I have seen that same camera a lot but with different names on it so it is obviously mass produced for various manufacturers/traders. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby
