Keep in mind the many different camera angles before picking one. A wide angle will show cars very close to you in the other lane. This is the best choice for multi lane highway driving. A wide angle also comes in handy when backing to see low hanging tree limbs. The trade off is anything a ways back will be just a dot you might not see. I have a wide angle, fish-eye camera which means when my wife follows me in her car I can't identify her car unless she's right on me. I know all the haters will say this is because I use the $57 Pyle camera/monitor kit from Walmart but fish eye lens are fish eye lens folks. Price doesn't matter. I've had this setup for 3 years with zero problems. Has a great clear picture with good color. I wired it to be on continuous instead of just in reverse. I started out with an expensive wireless kit but got a lot of static interference from various sources. I live near an AF base and low flying planes would cause a white out. So I took the 3 hours required to run 40' wires to the front protected by wire loom. But I should have run more than the two wires for some future gadget. If you run wire wrap all connections with silicone mastic tape so everything is waterproof.
