It all depends on whether the camera puts out standard video that can be "read" by any brand of monitor. Closed circuit TV often lives by different rules!
My rig has a stone age, "gas-powered" monochrome system, but it does the job. I haven't looked into what standard the video signal is. Who cares, the camera and the display work together just fine. Don't need HD color for that task!
When we first bought the rig, the camera gave a good picture of the rear bumper and about 5 feet behind - as much use as tits on a boar hog. After some investigation, S-i-l and I discovered a molding flash inside the camera cover that was pushing the viewpoint down. A quick job with the Dremel and the view out back is fine. Unfortunately, it didn't stop me backing into a neighbor's rhody across the street and taking about a 50-cent piece size chunk out ot the back bumper's gel-coat.
