Bought one, installed it easily and I love it! I always wanted a back up camera but I did not want to mess with the car wiring. Thanks for making me aware of this option!
how about to leave a review on Amazon?
You shouldn’t need the monitor. You should just use your phone and its camera. There is an app for that of course. There is an app for everything.
@@guysontop7433 Can you explain how to do this please? Thank you
@@guysontop7433 what if your phone Is dead? What if your phone memory is full and can’t download the app?
What if your phone so old, it can’t even support the app to even download your phone.? What if you hate too many apps on your phone and don’t want anymore .?
I’ll take the extra screen anyday
your daughter did a great job. you did alright as well.
I try.... but I know who the star is.
Cool you showed your daughter this
I remember when I backed over my kids a couple months ago. At least one of them survived so they can help me install it
Lol
Lmaooo
I definitely chuckled!
LOL
You should do an update on this camera. I would like to know how it has held up after a year.

The link for this camera doesn't work, and hasn't for some time, did they discontinue it?
Even with the camera 😂🤣 installed he still backed into those boxes!!!
🤣🤣🤣
That was the point because of the vegan books
You should have shown how the camera performs as you are reversing as I'd like to know if there is any lag at all?
Very informative and well done, continue the great work, Thank you for the content
Got sidetracked by the Thousand Oaks plate cover. I miss home. Camera sounds great. Link doesn’t work but I found the camera with an Amazon search. Thank you
Could this be installed as a FRONT VIEW CAMERA? Coz I keep hitting the wall of my garage as well as scraping those cement parking block.
Yes, absolutely.
I'm so getting the one on the front of my vehicle as well. That's very smart of you!
😭😭😭😭😭
I need a how-to on growing that stache
Patience and wax!

Hey Guy, I couldn't find this on amazon...your link confirms that. I need one just like that for under $40
Nice job. Thank you!
The link doesn't work, and I've searched for this camera on Amazon, and it's not there?
Very nice video 📸 likes and subscribed ❤ can't wait to install mine
I would like to purchase this but there aren't any little girls living in my area to do the installation. What should I do?
Wow that's pretty easy. I did not really want to hassle with wires.
Hello,
-So great your teaching your daughter how to do these things, your a good dad and shes a lucky girl.
- If its solar powered, what if it rains or is cloudy for a couple of days, will it still work?
- Tried your link to this product, doesnt work.
- Important for me to know..does the manufacturers of these products pay you to demonstrate their products or do you just get paid from RUclips (or Google) for uploading your videos? I'm sure you can understand why I ask..Thank you for your time.
Thanks! I installed this on my parents van, which gets parked in the garage (dark) for long periods of time. It still does well, but if the battery does due there is a USB charging port on the underside that you can recharge it from.
As far as if the camera's manufacturer is paying me; no they aren't.... but if they're reading this and they want to send me a check I won't complain :-)
Be careful of those yummy vegan cookbooks!! Great video
Marvelous.
Since it’s been 4yrs, do they have updated version?
I saw a commercial on Mobilityware while using their website about the license plate and camera.
good information for camera
Wish they had one that has a miror that connects to your exsisting miror
Nice moustache 😎👌
Thanks!
Oh you have a Honda that makes it 10x easier for me since I have a Honda too.
Amazon does not have them anymore, tried the link. Just ordered from Walmart. My 2017 F-350 PSD, DRW Super Crew Long Bed did not come with a backup camera but my wifes 2015 Teeny Honda Fit came with one!!! Makes no sense LOL
I want to buy one what’s it called and what’s the model number?
I need a backup camera!
How come this isn't available in the US as a solar powered one?
Does it make a noise if you get too close to something or signal you in some way?
No, these do not.
Excellent job on vedio. 1 question, is it possible to connect 2 cameras to the monitor? I want a front viewing for the front to see the curb, and a backup camers. If naybody has tried this, send me a link for the camera manufactuer.
Actually have another version: ruclips.net/video/F9--EkYHkkg/видео.html What allows you to hook up two cameras, I swap them around on my car, truck, and trailer, they were great. They actually have better range in the old ones, And higher resolution.
Do I need the cigarette adapter and if so do you have any videos on how to put the wires under the dashboard??
Any advice on getting the suvtion cup to stick? I couldn't mount it to my car.. wouldn't stick. I tried center console first then tried glass but it wouldn't stick
Clean the window with windex, then get the suction cup damp and apply. That should help.

Hey the amazon link you put doesn’t work anymore, do you have a new link I can use ?
Just updated the link!
DoItYourselfDad I just tried and it doesn’t work again. Can you please update it Thx
I decided to man up and go with the Auto-vox W7 . It’s wireless but I have to get power from my reverse light behind my taillight. They make and easy wire connection for the splice. 👍
Where is link for this product? It seems no longer available on Amazon.

How do you know if its the same width of your car in the grids
WARNING: may not be suitable for colder climates. I have 2 of these cameras; bought one and the company replaced it when it stopped working. Both are non-functional now. I'm assuming there is some correlation between cold weather and the cameras malfunctioning as the wintertime was when they both stopped working.
Battery prolly froze and popped.
Your link to the camera you installed is broken.
I live in Alaska where the daylight is long in summer and night-time is long in winter
Would you recommend it for me?
You might be better off with a wired camera, but you can charge this one via USB port if needed.
Thank you for this video just got mine today and will install it tomorrow.
FORALL2HEAR TV where did you buy it? How do you like it
Please could you tell me where I can purchase the product you're fitting
ummmm most people tend to put the product in the description on these videos.
The link no longer works but you can get it here on walmart www.walmart.com/ip/Auto-Vox-Solar-Wireless-Backup-Camera-Kit-5-Mins-DIY-Installation-and-No-Interference-Rear-View-Camera-for-Cars-and-Medium-Sized-Vehicles/616218007
Your amazon link is dead tho..
Your Amazon link does not work.
In Texas the state troopers love to pull over anyone that has a license plate frame covering any part of the license plate. I noticed this camera covers part of the plate.
and they say it's bad here....
Thanks for sharing. It was so funny that your little girl is doing the installment. Motivated us to be able to do that as well. I think that was the point you were trying to make. What kinda battery does the real camera (on number plastes) use?
The battery is built in, and charged by the solar panel so it’s not replaceable.
@@DoItYourselfDad Thanks Sir. What if there is no Sun, and is always raining, like in Manchester, UK?
@@mrnothing249 It does have a micro-usb port on it so it can be recharged.
Would this be a good ideal for a wrangler that’s license plate is towards the bottom left of that car ?
Ideally you’d want the camera at the center of the back, it it would still work to one side.
Does the monitor charge itself or does it always have to be plugged in?
The monitor always has to be plugged in
we are vegans and we have several boxes of vegan cook books in our garage!!! also i would love to "storm" area 51. you live too far away for "storming" meetings though. i hope you are not kidding about the labeled boxes because i am NOT. thanks for your help anyway. don't like your mustache but your daughter is GREAT.
Hello , when you press the button to activate camera, does the monitor come on as well?
Yes it does.
CAN YOU PRLASE PROVIE THE NAME OF THE CAMERA?
You didn't show us the view we might get from the monitor . I want to view my trailer hitch while hooking up... any suggestions?
The camera angle can be changed, so you can angle it downward to see your hitch.
DoItYourselfDad Great. Thanks for the video and insight. Subbed
Yep, ran over a gas heater I had just bought.
nice
Amazon Affiliate link is dead
You mentioned in the other video ($30 camera) that you used a wireless camera and it had issues connecting , is this it? Trying to decide on wireless or not, just want something reliable.
No this isn’t it, the other video was from several years ago. Wireless tech has certainly gotten better since then.
Good video., However you did not show real-time backing up to see the lagging if any??
This is an analog connection, not digital. There is no noticeable lag.
How far will the wireless work? will it work on the back of a 5th wheel trailer?
Not sure, we didn't try it further than the van. I did put a wireless camera on the back of my toy hauler and it's don't well, but it was purpose-made for trailers with a separate antenna on the camera.
What model# is this camera?
I had one of these for my truck and it stopped working after a couple months. Water got into the solar panel and the image stopped showing one day.
I wish dash cams were also wireless
Does it really solar? I got ripped twice by buying solar wireless camera.
it keep shutting off hkw to troubleshoot it
I don't understand how it's gets wifi if there's no network. Can someone please explain that?
It’s wireless, it doesn’t use Wi-Fi.
The best idea would be to connect to your smartphone
Those cameras are a complete pain, every time you get in your car you have to fire up an app, connect to the cameras wifi network..... no thanks.
Amazon doesn't sell it anymore!
Hadn't noticed it was gone, we put their newer one on one of our other cars and also on my trailer: ruclips.net/video/F9--EkYHkkg/видео.html
Great video! Your link sends me to a Boscam product, not Auto Vox. Is this the right one?
Looks like they changed the link on me! Here's the correct one: amzn.to/2HvTtsU
@@DoItYourselfDad Awesome! Thank you! I'm getting ready to buy it. My husband is so excited. 😁
@@DoItYourselfDad They must have changed the link again.
How many cameras can I use?
I believe with this system it is only one. There is an updated version that can sync multiple. Check out our video on that system here: ruclips.net/video/F9--EkYHkkg/видео.html
The system is fine, BUT...it covers up part of the license plate information. Is this legal? : /
This one covers less of the plate than the stock frame did, there's nothing obstructed, nothing illegal about it.
@@DoItYourselfDad I STAND CORRECTED, THANK YOU! (I was confusing the tape to cover your license plate's number...with the camera holder). Please accept my apology?
No worries at all, I taped the plate because it wasn’t my car. Didn’t want to plaster someone else’s plate number all over my channel l.
@@DoItYourselfDad Quick question, does the screen turn on automatically when you switch it to reverse? Or do you have to click the button everytime you want to use it?
It automatically turns on, you can also manually turn it on if you want the view when not in reverse. Pretty nice setup.
Where do I purchase? Amazon is no longer available
Here's the updated link: amzn.to/35R3dHW
What’s the name how can I buy is this on amazon ?
I couldnt find it on amazon but i found it on walmart www.walmart.com/ip/Auto-Vox-Solar-Wireless-Backup-Camera-Kit-5-Mins-DIY-Installation-and-No-Interference-Rear-View-Camera-for-Cars-and-Medium-Sized-Vehicles/616218007
Can’t get mines to charge up 😢
I can't find this camera...So sad!
I’ve heard that they can be found on Walmart’s site. Unfortunately they keep going out of stock on Amazon .
I usually test and pair stuff like this BEFORE I install it.
I like to like life on the edge….
I never understood why people leave the dealer tag frame on cars. Are they paying you for advertising??
Do you debadge your cars too?
And in winter? We dont have too much sun here
There is a USB port on the side you can charge it with if needed.
How the camera gets power?
It’s solar powered
It’s solar powered
Where can one buy this? Amazkn link?
Here's the updated link: amzn.to/35R3dHW
@@DoItYourselfDad Dead link.
Why not hardwire it in? Who wants a cable going to their 12v auxiliary outlet.
We’ve done that too, check out the link in the pinned comments.
Kayley is damn adorable
I bought camera and did not like so am going to return. However, apparently, although, package was sent from California I have been informed that I have to UPS to Guangdong, China. Also, according to email I will be charged a shipping fee of more than 20 USD and a fee for returning. Unreal, not happy. Taking it to UPS today.
Did you get it through amazon?
This looks exactly like what I want. But they're no longer available on Amazon.
They were out of stock, looks like they’re back again.
@@DoItYourselfDad my only concern with this is that I own a pickup not a car. Most license plates on a car sit flush on the bumper with nothing along the bottom of it to cause an obstruction, on a truck the license plate sits back in the bumper so I'm concerned the solar panel on the bottom might prevent it from properly installing.
DoItYourselfDad link?
You can tell your daughter gets paid by the hour for her mechanic work. 🤣 Based on the labour bill, i think all mechanics work at this speed 😉
At least she's turning wrenches and not keeping the couch warm playing video games all day....
Kind of sad that it doesn't automatically turn on when reversing. Seems like kind of a pain in the ass to wait for...
If you want something that does that you’ll have to wire it in, check the pinned post, we’ve got a video about a $30 one that works great.
I think if the screen was rechargeable (meaning no wire at all) the product would ne excellent...
I think if the monitor contained a battery will be so dangerous to leave it inside the car
I want one but hesitant to see people murdering the product in amazon reviews . 🤔
Your mileage may vary.... but that camera is still on my parents van and still going strong. I actually borrowed the car last weekend and its still working fine. They also have an updated model that I've swapped between one of my cars, my trailer and a bike rack and it's been working fine: ruclips.net/video/F9--EkYHkkg/видео.html
That’s awesome to hear. I’ll definitely pick one up.
Why does it sound like you’re breathing through a scuba tank every time you breathe lol. Sounds just like my regulator
i backed into my bros car ;-;
How much is it?
what i did not like about this camera that its not a 170 or 180 Degree wide view angle
These garbage unit is discontinued, non worked for long.
It’s not discontinued, it was out of stock. It’s back in stock on amazon.
