Revese sensor or camera

^^^lol, love the input, but want a definite answer before i ruin $60 of camera and half a day of pulling my interior plastics and re-wiring a new camera...

$60 is that all? bet you its a CMOS which flares with light changes...

spend a little more for a CCD ( like around $250 ) and get a better product, ive fitted 100's of camera and i have never had one come back from it failing due to engine starting and supplying the camera with 14.4 volts...

yep thats a good point it is CMOS

i bought it cheap coz i was going to use the structure to install a ccd later as i couldn't find any other camera system that had a similar convenient design for installation.... however due to it's placement on the del sol, it very rarely got direct sunlight unless it was setting behind me, otherwise it's generally great..

but thanks for the tip with the 14.4v.. if it dies it dies...

camera review from ebay

"Electric Voltage Rating - Most vehicle rear view backup cameras work with standard vehicle 12V power, some cameras (or monitor) work with 24V power as well. A real vehicle rear view backup camera would be designed to operate with constantly changing voltage levels (within normal range) produced by vehicle's battery and alternator. So you need to watch out for those security cameras that are marketed as vehicle rear view backup camera, those cameras won't work on your vehicle. However, be caution, some vehicles have a very high momentary voltage at the vehicle starting time and the overload might cause damage to the camera. If that is the case for your vehicle, you will need to install an extra fuse, voltage regulator, etc. to protect your camera. Please consult professional vehicle audio/video equipment installers if needed."
