eRapta ERT01 2nd Gen Car Rear View Backup Camera for Easy Reversing

AmazonCustomer: Not great for a truck

Canada on Aug 06, 2023

Amazon Customer: Bought to upgrade my car. It has lasted roughly two Canadian winters. Decent video quality, though its not perfect

Annoying to install, but considering that the hardest part is making a hole to thread the cable from inside to outside. So basically any backup cam is probanly identical in installation complexity.

Only issue I've had with it has been that the power wire on the rca cable does not conduct well enough to trigger my bew radio's backup cam mode when I reverse.
Otherwise I just threaded a second wire from the light to my radio and it works.
*This issue only applies to my new radio as the previous would switch when it received a signal and did not need a "trigger" cable to let it know when to switch

JohnnyJohnny: Please stay with me as we delve into the details. I specialize in tech reviews. In general, these license plate cameras can be a great buy, yet all brands in this price range face reliability challenges. This means great customer service and ease of replacement are essentials.

WHICH eRAPTA? ERT11 VS. ERT01:
First, be sure you have received the latest design with the all metal bracket. If yes, both are rated at IP69 to keep the water out! Both are considered high res at 1280 x 720 pixels. However, the fact they use standard RCA connectors makes this claim one not to rely on. In real world use, the eRapta’s typically yield a very impressive and sharp image, with quite decent color fidelity, too. Both are also related down to .1 LUX. A lower number is better—meaning they resolve low light well.

Of these two, I suggest spending just a little more for the ERT11 without lights. Cameras like these rely on your tail lights plus their LUX rating. Ask yourself, how many built in car camera have mini LED lights surrounding them? Answer: None. No mini LEDs means one less thing to go wrong and a few users have complained about the ERT01 lights getting stuck in the on...

Kenneth Davidson: Installed camera in Sept 2022 and it worked well until a couple weeks ago. Checked wiring and stereo and it was all good. I connected an old camera I had in garage and now everything works again.

Hoping seller will reach out to discuss…..

UPDATE- Seller has reached out and promised to send replacement. Seller quickly delivered a replacement. Impressed with service

Amazon Customer Mike M: I had an issue with the original camera, several months after having it installed. I reached out to the company and was pleasantly surprised by how quickly they responded. They asked me to send them a brief description of the issue along with any pictures that I could provide.
They replied quickly and said they would ship me a replacement immediately.
The item arrived in about a week.
Not all companies stand behind their product or services, I am happy to say that Erapta is a company that wants to earn your business by standing behind their product

Mott: A nice product that works well in older vehicles without reverse cameras. Design is elegant and well thought out. Bracket hides nicely behind license plate looks clean and almost factory.

I purchased this reverse camera for my daughter's 2010 Honda Civic. She already had an aftermarket head end unit in the vehicle (a Dual XDCPA10BT) with a screen so I did not need a screen. The camera itself came nicely boxed with most of what was needed for the install except tools etc. The install took me about 3 hours but I am fastidious and wanted to done correctly. The cable from the camera to the head end unit was plenty long enough for our small sedan. I did need to adjust the camera downwards by bending the bracket a little then reinstalling over the license plate. Picture quality is adequate although not high definition by any means. I soldered all connections and was careful with my wire routing. I did need to drill a hole in the trunk lid to route the cable from the camera through to the inside of the boot but sealed the hole with silicon once the cable was routed properly.

If you install this camera like I did you will need: Pliers, wire stripper, soldering iron flux and...
