I bought my rear camera for the Nextbase 512GW (front) camera for £45.
It is quite small and neat and comes with an adhesive mount and about 6 metres of cable. Power is taken via signal cable from front camera.
You need to connect camera via Nextbase app (on computer) to internet to get latest software update to enable camera to work.
Then I ran the cable from front to back by prising down passengers side headlining slightly and tucking cable in out of sight.
Enough cable was left to allow rear hatch to open and surplus was tucked above headlining between hatch hinges.
Rear camera was placed in top middle of rear window, within the wiped area, looking between heating elements.
The camera was recognised as soon as pluging and power applied.
On-board display (front & rear) is picture in picture, and recordings are made to SD card in two separate HD simultaneous files. Both display on computer, independantly, full screen, with normal time, speed, GPS, acceleration, etc, etc.
Very pleased with the result.
Nextbase support were very prompt and helpful, when I had a bit of finger trouble during installation. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
