Mods: This may not be the right section for this, if so move it please. Alright guys, I recently got an Edge Insight CTS and noticed that it has inputs for a backup camera. So, I started looking online and got overwhelmed pretty quickly. There are so many models out there I didn't know where to begin. Has anyone else added a camera to make their Edge display a backup camera? If so, what kind of camera did you use and how well does it work? I don't want to spend too much money on something I don't really need what so ever, but I also don't want to cheap out and not have it be worth the install. Thanks for any info guys

I want to flow this thread also! Although I am a Class A CDl driver I can't gauge the depth of my truck to save my life!

I had a few sites that I was looking at for RV reverse cams. I have an Edge Juice w/ Arttitude so I'm looking to add a separate screen... Somewhere.

New Waterproof E629 Car Back Up Rear View Day Night Camera NTSC 628x582 Pixel | eBay
I bought 2 of these cameras.
Mounted one one the high on the left side of my truck (can see evrything behind me) and one at cab height, front of bed on the right side of the truck (NO blind spot now).
hooked both inputs into a "Y" then into my GPS (Magellan 1700) attach the power leads to SPDT switch. switch left/left camera, switch center/GPS, switch right/right camera.
Works great. With ANY camera do NOT rely on factory sealant. apply clear silicone at ALL seams to keep out moisture.
see pic. didn't have camera mounted on the left when picture was taken. camera on the right is mounted under the top bar.

I went to front and rear kenwood CMOS 300s with my DNX9990HD and they have unbelievable quality and 5 different views. I have the Edge backup camera sitting on the shelf if your interested. It's a very nice camera, I just can't run it with my rear winch so I'm using my deck now. It comes with a switch to change viewing angle. PM me if you're interested.

I went with the Amazon.com: Boyo VTL300CIR Zinc Metal Full Frame License Plate Camera (Black): Car Electronics because I wanted it night vision and I wanted it by my license plate to look at my hitch when backing up. Have had it for a year now and no problems. I also went with it for the company Boyo is really reaputable.
I bought this one too, Decent camera once you get used to it. I also added Retro Solutions LED backup lights, SUPER BRIGHT.
Camera complaints: No lines for distance, and side reference, Camera blips when brakes are applied...Probably power draw from lights, might not be the cameras fault.
Likes: Was $40 shipped, Looks decent at night for a 40buc camera, And is one of the best investments when hooking up a trailer. Im plenty good at aligning a ball to a trailer, but this makes it so easy, Canopy, Camper, angle, unlevel, no problem.
