Easy to install Aokur Backup Camera with 4.3 inch TFT LCD review

This is my review and unboxing of the aokur Backup Camera with 4.3 inch TFT LCD Rearview Monitor, Waterproof Night Vision License Plate Starlight Cam, Auto Reverse Parking Assistance System for Car Vehicle Bus Truck Van Camper RVs ATV found at amzn.to/2HmXy5k
My older OEM rearview camera system in my car is stating to go bad, so it was time to get a replacement one. To get the one I had fixed was going to cost way too much money, so I decided to try out this one by aokur. The said that it would be easy to install, and they were correct. The whole thing too me less than 30 minutes to do. The camera attaches by the same screw that holds your license plate. I then ran the extension cable from the trunk area around the side of the car, hiding the cable under the plastic pieces that are on the inside edge between the doors and carpet floors. I then attached the the large 4.3 inch monitor to my dash, right above where my older one was, and ran the cable from the monitor down to the extension cable I ran from the camera. I then connected the cigarette adapter cable to the run, and that was it. As soon as I pressed the power button on the cigarette adapter, I had a clear image! The image is nice and sharp in the daytime, and the built in IR lights let me use the camera to see behind me in the darkness of the night.
Some of the things that I really liked about the camera and monitor are:
- Quick and easy to install
- Camera attaches via license plate screw
- Can be powered by cigarette lighter or rear lights
- Easy to find and use power button on cigarette lighter
- Really large 4.3 inch LCD monitor
- Clear night vision, brighter than other models I've used
- Wide image to better see things behind you
- Good length of cable to run down the side of the car
Things I did not like are:
- There is a thick part on the cable rear the camera. It took a little force to get that extra thickness through my entry point into the car
- No AUX input on monitor. Would be nice to use it for something else when you are not using the camera.
- Would have liked other options to mount the monitor so it's not always out and visible. But that's just my personal preference.
After using this camera for some time now, I highly recommend it. It has good quality from both the camera, as well as the monitor in both daytime and nighttime. For more information, or to purchase one for yourself, please visit amzn.to/2HmXy5k

[@paulgtal]

Hi I bout a camera rear but the monitor doesn’t come show anything and the wire connection it’s. On the blue color is on and the red it’s on too what do you think it’s the problem

[@steverayeatcirrusfilmprodu2694]

Thank you for the review! Is the cable from the camera to the monitor long enough to reach if installed in a 23 ft Class C RV?

[@MonkeyingAroundReviews]

The cable length is around 19.7ft / 6m

[@steverayeatcirrusfilmprodu2694]

@@MonkeyingAroundReviews Can you purchase an extension cable for an RV?

[@MonkeyingAroundReviews]

@@steverayeatcirrusfilmprodu2694 I'm not sure. I'm just a reviewer, not the manufacturer. I personally never looked into it. Sorry

[@steverayeatcirrusfilmprodu2694]

@@MonkeyingAroundReviews Thanks for the reply..... I went back to the description on Amazon and it had the option of an extension cable for the aokur in the Frequently bought together items just under the original Amazon listing.

[@MonkeyingAroundReviews]

@@steverayeatcirrusfilmprodu2694 Perfect. Glad you were able to find it so easily.

[@GoldenWatchPDKMN]

I just have ordered this product in Amazon. I wonder how to arrange the lines from the camera to the monitor. Do I have to drill a hole for the line from the camera? Can the camera be installed in the center of your license plate?

[@MonkeyingAroundReviews]

Golden Watch yes. You can either attach it with the existing screw that holds the plate in place, or remove the plate, and use double stick tape or a self tapping screw to mount it to the car, and then put the plate back over it, if you want it in the center. Like I said in the video, I was able to push the wow into the car where the light for the license plate was. You just need to find an opening. If not, you could just drill a small hole for it to go inside

[@daletaylor7025]

Why does my monitor flash on and off?

[@MonkeyingAroundReviews]

I don't know. Make sure your video cable has a nice fit, and that your power plug isn't loose in your 12v adapter

I want to buy this but I am in the philippines ..how?

Sorry, only know of Amazon in the US to sell it.

Is there a camera that I’d be able to replace it with? My camera is no longer working.

[@MonkeyingAroundReviews]

I have no idea. I would ask the manufacture.

[@TanM]

@@MonkeyingAroundReviews Hi, in your case, Any CCD camera will work, but you probably will have to make sure it's water resistant before buying. I do have some old ones lying in some box, might be fine to part with them.

[@mariafuentes5045]

The discount code doesn't no work

[@MonkeyingAroundReviews]

The code is 3 months old, so I'm guessing it has expired. I just emailed the manufacturer about it, to see if it should still work or not

[@MonkeyingAroundReviews]

They said the reset it, and to try the code again. Let me know if it works for you.
