This camera is my personal favourite and I have it installed on my own car.  I have it installed as permanently on and where you can really tell the difference between CMOS and CCD is the night time picture.  CCD is just amazing at night, the picture looks like a black and white day time picture when your driving along.  I would really recommend a 7" monitor to fully appreciate this camera.  Not many people know about the difference between CCD and CMOS so I have done a CCD vs CMOS paragraph below for those that are curious, the main point is that CCD has a higher uniformity than CMOS (which is more important than resolution and TVL figures), in fact sometimes the CMOS have higher res, but there is no point to that figure as if it has low uniformity then the picture won't be very good.  All my CCD cameras use a 1/3" SHARP CCD sensor.  No 1/4" rubbish that no-one has heard of before.  This camera is nice and subtle, in that it is hard to spot, flush against the bodywork with just 2/3mm protrusion, which is tiny.  The night vision is excellent, I used to have a CMOS bumper camera in my last car and to upgrade to the CCD version is unbelievable how much extra you get.  This camera comes with a 5 meter video cable which is suitable for most car owners, video extensions can be bought in my shop if longer length required.  The power lead is long enough for you to get the power from the reversing light but again a plug and play power extension cable can be bought from our shop if you would like the camera on all the time, so you can maybe take the power from the back of your radio or the back of a cigarette lighter etc.  This camera comes with a 28mm hole saw to drill the correct size hole for the camera in your bumper.  We have had people use these to mount the camera inside van doors etc.  There is also O Rings which can adjust the angle of the camera slightly incase you need to mount on a bumper/surface that is angled.  This has a wide angle lens so you can see what is going on around you even close up.

This image shows what you get inside the box.  The box includes the camera, a hole saw the correct size for the camera, the O ring with angled rings for angled bumpers.  5 meter/15ft video cable and a 1 meter power cable to get power from the reversing light.  Power extensions can be bought if you want the power on all the time.  Video extensions can also be purchased to increase the video lead length.

This is the bumper camera mounted to the back of my BMW convertible.

This is a close up of the bumper camera mounted in the bumper of my car. 

This image shows the image created using the CCD bumper camera, the camera copes well with the street lights where CMOS cameras may faulter and flood the image with white glare. 

Below is a picture taken in the day time with my car reversing up to a black Mazda, this picture shows the distance the screen shot was taken at. 

This picture shows me reversing up to a Black Mazda in the daylight.  See the picture above this picture to see the distance this screenshot was taken at.  This shows the nice wide angle of the camera.

This picture shows me reversing up to a Black Peugeot at night time, the street light was on the other side of the car and the reverse and brake light was enough to produce a lovely clear image.
