Furrion Backup Camera Quality and Performance

For those of you that have the Furrion Backup Camera, is it a clear HD picture in the monitor and is there much lag/delay? I've been reading that some people are reporting up to 3 seconds delay between the time something happens and when it's viewable on the monitor and that there are other systems that the display is clearer and the lag is a lot less. I'm just not sure if it's a big enough deal to buy something else and modify the mounting. Your input is greatly appreciated.

    I have the Furrion back up camera and have zero lag..

    It is a clear picture, and I like that it has sound... my wife can stop yelling at ME , and just yell at the camera now as I back into a site. :B

    Thank you ford truck guy. The reviews I read about lag were from 2016 so maybe they fixed whatever issue there was.

    Same with us. Works great as a backup camera, and also use it while driving to keep an eye on what's happening behind us.

    I had the Furion backup camera on the truck camper I had. Clear picture, worked great. Only problem I had, which I was not used to, it only worked when vehicle was in reverse. I was used to one being on all the time when I had the motorhome to see the toad. Furion was great, tho.

    Thanks for your input. I think they now sell an observation and backup camera system in addition to just the backup camera system

    Thank you JesLookin. I'm happy everyone is saying the picture quality is good and no noticeable lag.

    Many with the Furrion prep mount, are buying the cheaper Haloview system that has a 7" monitor, instead of the Furrion 4" monitor.
    I don't have the Furrion prep mount so I bought a system similar to the Haloview system, for $120 on Amazon.
    Works great and quite happy with it.

    We have one but don't use it for backing up. The wife is the eyes for that. However, I love being able to see what is behind me and making sure the vehicle I am passing is clear before getting back into their lane. I also use it as part of my decision as to pass or not based on what is coming up behind. 4" is fine for my purposes as I don't stare at it at the whole. No lag.
