Many motorists do not think about what can make the driving process much more comfortable without spending a round sum of money. When parking or driving, difficult situations may arise in which a standard rear-view mirror may not be enough. The question is particularly acute when it comes to wagons or pickups - in their case, the review of the rear hemisphere is very limited.
In some cases, parktronic helps to solve the problem, but it can not be called sufficiently informative, and it is also not enough. Effective solution to such problems - rear view camera. Thanks to the equipment on the market, the image transmitted from them can display both the monitor in the kit and the car TV mounted on the bracket and the smart mirror.
Focusing on many different parameters, as well as user reviews, we have compiled a rating that can help each motorist to find the perfect option.
Best rear view camera on the bracket
The cameras on the brackets differ from other types primarily in their versatility (they are installed on any car models), as well as in the presence of a swivel base (thanks to which the gadget is easily adjusted to the desired angle of view). There are also disadvantages: devices of this type are clearly visible to others (in Russia, this means a considerable probability of theft), and installing them will have to damage the surface of the car (although there is a mounting option on the license plate, which is not entirely reliable).
3 ISUDAR 8 LED Night

Price for Aliexpress: from 413 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8
The most popular rear-view camera from all presented on AliExpress, which is not surprising. The price of the device does not bite, while it boasts a solid viewing angle (170 degrees), it works in the dark (special illumination with a power of 0.5 lux is built in to increase clarity) and is compatible with NTSC and PAL screens. The average picture quality, of course, leaves much to be desired, but this is a normal situation for almost any camera in this segment - the main thing is that ISUDAR shoots well enough to see what is happening behind it, that is, everything you need is perfectly visible.
In general, a great option for those who buy such a device for the first time, and, in principle, not sure if he needs a camera of this type. Subsequently, depending on the experience of use, it will be easier to choose a more expensive and reliable device (if it is suddenly needed).
2 Podofo LED IP68

Price for Aliexpress: from 396 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9
In the description of the gadget, the seller, not hesitating to praise his product, constantly mentions the letters HD, which, of course, is far from reality. Nevertheless, the image is quite clear, without any kind of interference and distortion. In addition, the simple and modest design of Podofo, coupled with the small size, allows the device to merge with almost any machine and not attract attention.
But the main advantage of the camera is the excellent protection to all external factors: good sealing helps the device to work properly even in heavy rain, and a sufficiently strong body made of impact-resistant plastic will not allow it to fall apart after the first scrape (although, given the low cost, the potential damage become a big problem).
1 Dasaita fisheye

Price for Aliexpress: from 1381 rub.
Rating (2019): 5.0
Among its competitors, Dasaita is distinguished, above all, by its high resolution (here it reaches a value of 1280x720) and the quality of the transmitted image. For a nice picture (for example, the license plate of a car driving behind the car can be clearly seen already 20 meters away) the Sony MCCD module installed inside, which also adequately works at night. There is an additional functionality in the form of the possibility of setting up parking lines (special labels superimposed on the image and helping the driver to maneuver in cramped conditions) and the Fisheye mode (“fisheye”).
The best rear-view rear-view cameras
The main and undoubted advantage of devices of this format - almost complete stealth for others, because the camera is actually mounted in the rear bumper. However, this is also the main drawback - a round hole for the device will have to be cut somewhere, and thus modify the initial state of the car. We note the fact that such gadgets are most sensitive to poor-quality installation, as the wrong mounting location is able to negate all the advantages of the camera.
3 TUA RV-01

Price for Aliexpress: from 378 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8
TUA RV-01 is distinguished by a specific form factor (although such a design is not uncommon for rear-view cameras), creating an almost 90-degree angle between the landing site and the optical axis of the device. The idea is that almost none of the car owners decide to drill the trunk lid, mainly limited to the bumper, which for many cars is quite low for the camera, which causes certain inconveniences and reduces the field of view of the device. At the same time, it is possible to install such a device normally only between the license plate lights and not always. Otherwise, everything is more than ordinary: the usual CCD-matrix with the image of an average quality and IP67 protection standard.
2 GSPSCN K185

Price for Aliexpress: from 557 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9
Mighty representative of the rear view camera, with no obvious advantages and disadvantages (we note only a well-protected case, the reliability of which was repeatedly emphasized in the reviews). If for some reason you are looking for a model of the mortise type, but you do not want to overpay significantly (for example, for non-obvious improvements in image quality), then GSPSCN K185 is the ideal choice.
On sale there are two versions: with and without LEDs. The first in theory provides the best clarity of the picture at night, but given that by default we already have regular headlights working and brightly illuminate the area, there is little point in spending money on the backlight (although the price difference is small).
1 Ownice CA319

Price for Aliexpress: from 779 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9
Ownice CA319 attracts primarily the ability to rotate the optical axis relative to the body of the device. This allows it to easily solve the complex installation problem described above (the device is easy to install in almost any place, compensating for the height with the necessary inclination). In addition, CA319 is able to transmit an image in a mirrored form (that is, if desired, it can be used from the front).
Unfortunately, inside of such a successful case there is the most ordinary camera with a cheap CMOS-matrix that not everyone will like it. Among other interesting features, there is moisture protection and support for parking lines, but now they will surprise no one.
Top Camera Caps
Overhead rear view cameras are fastened with a bolt through a hole in the plastic part next to the rear room lights.The undoubted advantage of this type of model is the minimum amount of “destruction” (all you have to do is to drill a small hole in an inconspicuous place) required for installation.
2 KEELEAD Rear View Camera

Price for Aliexpress: from 687 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9
A sturdy and reliable design with a metal stainless steel case (available in 4 colors) will look stylish on almost any car. As already noted above, the camera-lining is easy to install, easy to use and has everything necessary for the rear-view camera functionality (dust and moisture protection, wide viewing angle, the presence of parking lines). The optical module installed inside gives a resolution of 728x512 pixels and has a high sensitivity for its class.
1 SINOSMART CCD

Price for Aliexpress: from 1581 rub.
Rating (2019): 5.0
The company's products Sinosmart has long established itself among motorists as a budget equivalent of the original electronics of a very decent quality. Unfortunately, it’s on the rear-view cameras that prices still bite (judging by the standards of AliExpress), but judging by the number of reviews and orders, it doesn’t bother anyone. The main advantage of this model is the glass and the Aptina MT9V136 sensor, which gives a very decent picture both day and night (in comparison with other devices with Ali, Sinosmart simply has no competitors).
Also declared the maximum viewing angle (185 degrees, which, of course, hard to believe) and the minimum noise level (40 dB). We also note the presence of nine different color schemes at once, a good bundle (you can choose the cable / wireless transmitter / adapter you need) and packaging.
Top camera frames
As you might guess from the name, these cameras are mounted in the license plate frame, which on the one hand completely eliminates any problems with finding a place for installation (but you still have to tinker with the wires), and on the other makes the device easy prey for thieves.
2 Car Plate Camera

Price for Aliexpress: from 815 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8
The brainchild of the nameless manufacturer is the best selling representative of the gadgets of its class on AliExpress. In general, the model in question can be called a typical sample of the camera-frame format, to which all the pros and cons described above are applicable. Additionally, we should note perhaps the four LEDs of the night illumination (undoubted help in the twilight), as well as the unpleasant fact in the form of the absence of adjustment bolts for tilting the device (although the design itself seems to assume their presence). The quality of the image is the most standard - you should not expect much detail or sensitivity to it, but the device honestly works out its price.
1 Vinidname 10264

Price for Aliexpress: from 2226 rub.
Rating (2019): 5.0
If you put an improved matrix on the previous model (it provides a high-quality image with distance marks to an obstacle), and also provide the design with two parking sensors (parking sensors), then we will get something similar to Vinidname at the output. In addition to the camera module itself, the package includes an abundance of wiring required for full integration of the device into a car and a separate receiver unit designed to process the received information. At the exit, all this seriously teases the price of the gadget, but the final result can satisfy even the most demanding car enthusiast.
