John AllenJohn Allen: The media could not be loaded.  I purchased they DoHonest back up camera and monitor on June 29, 2022 through Amazon. I installed it on my pick up truck and it worked perfectly until about a month ago. The monitor just had a bunch of crazy lines and faded background. I tried disconnecting it and reconnecting it but that didn’t do anything. I checked the camera and all appear to be well there. I wrote to the company and sent them a photo of the screen and what it was doing. They wrote back and said the screen was obviously broken and that it had been physically damaged. As you can see from the photos attached it is not broken or damaged. In any way. At this point, I have sent them more photos but they have not
responded. It appears that they are not willing to honor their warranty. If they do respond and honor their warranty, I will update the review of this product but until then I would not recommend purchasing it.

Update!
The company responded to me after I sent additional photos and a video. They replaced the entire kit. Monitor, camera, cables and mounting bracket. It arrived today. I haven’t hooked it up yet but I assume it will work because original...

How did you contact the seller on the phone?: We had problems with the first camera showing only a black screen. We contacted customer service and a second unit was sent to us. The second one is working great. Thanks again for great support. A followup call was made by Alfred to us checking on the delivery and the instalation. I would highly recommend this camera. I hope we have no more issues but I know we will be looked after.

Francois BessetteFrancois Bessette: Beware, if you plug this camera on the license plate light, and you vehicle is equipped with LEDs, it may not work. In my case, it did not work. So I connected an oscilloscope and saw that the license plate light, instead of a steady 12 volts, was receiving 12 volts pulsed briefly to 0 volts 100 times per second. No wonder the camera could not work.

The solution is to buy a small rectifier such as this https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07KFJVC5J. Not very expensive. Someone has opened that box and it is simply a diode and a 1000uF capacitor (see drawing). The diode lets the 12v pass forward, but prevents current from going back. The capacitor keeps feeding the camera with 12volts during the short period where the card supplies no current. After installing this circuit, the camera now works well. Good clear picture, plenty of signal strength. Giving an overall rating of 4 stars because in my opinion, this electrical problem is so common that the camera should probably include such a rectifier circuit. For nerds out there, the camera draws 144 mA at 12 volts, and still works all the way down to a supply of 5 volts!

Chrissy: The install of the camera was a little more work than was initially thought. We wanted to install the camera as a back up camera, and so needed to connect the camera to the reverse light wiring. The install video made it seem very simple and straight forward, but once I took everything out to the car things went a little side ways. Definitely make sure to test that the camera and receiver are communicating. Nothing in the install video mentioned having to drill a hole for the camera wiring to run to the reverse light wiring, so that was the first snag. Then there was trouble getting the camera power once the adapter was used to connect to the reverse light wiring. Customer service was very helpful, and sent me a new camera when it became apparent that the camera was not working properly. We also had to make sure to properly ground the wiring once everything was installed. After all the bumps in the road, the camera is now working properly. The picture is clear and the guide lines are a nice feature.

Amazon Customer: This was a very easy installation and very satisfied that I purchased. The monitor mounted perfectly and is a nice large 7' screen. I have already recommended to my friends. Only difficulty is at night and possibly because of the glare coming from my backup lights which are located very close to the camera.

Amazon Customer: As the headline says this purchase met my expectations. My particular application for the backup cam and what I wanted and needed it for might be considered unique. It primarily involved trying to back my boat trailer down the boat ramp with a pickup that has had the standard box replaced with a flatbed. This does present some visibility issues that I have tolerated much too long. This installation solved the problem nicely. The positives of this installation is the camera is wireless so I was able to tap into my running lights since I wanted to be able to use it at times I wasn't in reverse. On the other end simply plug the monitor into the power port and it's done. Doing wiring hookups was really quick. The resolution of the monitor is very good and you get a nice sharp picture. The features of camera and monitor are very useful. The ability to add a second camera and then the ability to pick which camera or both on a split screen is great. I think the value recieved from this camera is very much in line with the purchase price.
About the company selling this item, they showed commit to their customer when I had to contact them with an issue of a blown fuse on the monitor...

G. MCEWAN: I wanted to use the camera as both backup guide an rear view while driving. Accordingly I decided to connect to one licence plate light for power. The area there is tiny and there isn't much wire length to work with. After making connections I found get a signal when ignition was in accessory mode but the signal would disappear when the engine was started. I could get a signal for brief periods after pushing buttons on the back multiple times, but the signal would die most of the time when I applied brakes or it would die completely. It was intermittent at best. Other than that the picture quality was very good and the night vision is excellent. After contacting Duhonest tech help, it was decided that I needed a voltage rectifier as have other users.Duhonest gave me a link to the correct unit for my Hyundai Elantra GT and are paying go my purchase. I have just completed the installation and a test drive and the problem is resolved. Hopefully it will stay that way. I must commend Duhonest for their quick response to a customer's problem with installation of their product. Ease of installation depends on the vehicle and where you have to make the connections.

Brian J.: Let me start by telling you what attracted me to this product in particular. As you would be aware there are many reversing cameras from a number of manufacturers available online. What set this model apart, from my preferred options, was:
1. It had a larger than average (7") screen.
2. It was 1080p resolution, better than the average reversing cameras on the market.
3. Nice wide FOV of 150 degrees (more on this later).
4. Wireless installation
5. Potential for two camera support on the screen simultaneously, if required.

My package arrived in good condition (my first order did not arrive, so Amazon organised another shipment which did arrive - thank you!) Everything required for an installation, except for a few basic DIY tools were included in the box. I first tested the system according to the video suggested in the instructions. This was easy to put together and the system worked very well. After having used it for a day or two, these are some of my observations of the good, the bad and the ugly. There were really no bad issues and certainly no ugly issues to report. Mostly good, but some comments follow.

THE GOOD: The image on the screen was good...
