This rear view mirror camera has worked really well so far. It comes with several bungee-type rubber pieces that you can use to secure it right over your existing rearview mirror, so it was really easy to put up. The cord can be tucked into the "seams" (where the cloth areas meet harder plastic-type areas, usually) along the top and sides of the inside of the car, and was fairly easy to do as well. You can feed the wire for the back camera the same way to the back of the car, and then mount the rear camera somewhere in the back. I found that it was best to mount it on the ceiling rather than on the liftgate itself (in our minivan), as the opening and slamming shut of the liftgate can jolt the camera and move it or eventually make it fall down. I did find that the bracket on the rear camera seemed a bit crooked, so I had to pad under the bracket on one side to make the camera straighter. I used some "alien" mounting tape, and that has been holding really well. You do need to tighten some screws on the rear camera once you have it angled how you want it (so that it doesn't shift). You can use this as a continuous rear view camera if you want, which is what we are doing and was the reason we purchased this. It has worked really well so far. I will say that the rear camera does make objects seem further than they actually are (more so than, say, a side mirror). And the quality isn't great at night. But otherwise it's been good. I've found the voice control to be handy, and it works much better than I had anticipated (for example, you can switch between the rear view and the front view just by saying "Show front camera" and "Show rear camera." The one downside I've seen so far is that you can't connect wirelessly to download videos (as far as I can tell). We have been interested in a couple of videos from the car so far, and we just ended up recording a video of the video with our phones (as you can play the videos right on the rearview mirror camera screen). That has worked ok, but if we need better quality then we'd probably take out the SD card and download it manually. Also, the instructions said that you need an SD card and that one is not included. However, one WAS included with our camera, so we didn't end up needing to get a separate one. Overall, we've been really happy with this, especially for the price.
