I want to mount ouside at the rear of 35' RV. How is the night image when headlights from following vehicles are shining at the camera? Thanks in adva

Its pretty awesome at night. It will go into a night vision phase like the video game call of duty. I have a license plate tag reverse camera on my F150. This Pioneer ND-BC6 blows that away by far. This item is great. I hope I could help. Enjoy life and Chive on!

It should not be a problem this is one of the best cameras that I ever have

There is no problems. The camera is very clear so you see exactly what the image is. I do a lot of night driving and it's the same clarity like at day

I cannot answer how it performs vs a license plate camera, but it does have a great field of view, and worked excellent at night. I had taken rubber trailer hitch cover and drilled a hole it it and mounted the camera in there so I did not have to drill holes in the bumper or body. This was a great solution for my Chevy Avalanche.

I mounted mine on a 23 foot recreational vehicle. I had a good spot to mount is where it looks down and behind the vehicle for backing purposes. Unless the F350 has a cap over the bed of the truck allowing the camera to better "see" directly behind the vehicle and in the hitch area, you'd have to mount it on the cab which might not be the optimum place depending on what you husband needs to see behind the F350. I hope this helps.

I mounted two them on top of my headache rack along with two Daylighters. Both sets are separately switched.The wide beams don't throw the light as far as the Daylighters, but they seem to light up further than my truck's headlights. Plus I an very please with the "wide" beams. The offer excellent coverage in the areas missed by the Daylighters (the Daylighters are more of a spot light). For reference my truck is a 03 ram 2500 quad cab 4x4, not lifted.

I don't know if it will remotely work off the backup lights on a trailer or not. The clarity of the camera may not give you the depth preseption you are looking for. I don't know if the clarity can be adjusted. I am still pleased with mine. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I mounted a second camera to the rear of my camper trailer. I should have done it a long time ago! The ability to see what is behind you and when you have clearance to move over a lane is invaluable. I had to find a RCA cable long enough to reach from the trailer to the truck (36'). Radio Shack had them.

I am considering purchasing this camera. All the reviews have been helpful. I have noticed no-one has commented on the outside temperature. The below 0 and the -25 below I think would be a problem even if mounted under an eve or overhang. If any one has any experience with this fact I would appreciate their input. Also any comments on a window mount. Thank you in advance for your input.

That's exactly what i got it for and it's fantastic. It has to be after dusk. Project it on this screen (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007KA7BAA/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) with a PVC pipe frame I built. Some of my neighbors are a little snooty about image quality and they were extremely impressed. I hook it up to an amp and a subwoofer and we rock the neighborhood. All the neighbors come over and it's a party.

I am no expert on night vision tech. That said when you activate the infared feature you get a really bright image. It seem to be a little fuzzy. but that could be me. Zero in at what ever rough distance you will be using it and blast away. What ever you get beats shooting in the dark.

face the pickup towards the south, you have to mount it higher, we have a 20 foot. don't know if this helps...my husband told me what to say. but I will say this ...it may not be much light at 45 foot as there is just enough light to see "most" of the flag

Just to clarify: if the image was an exact ratio, your angle of view would probably not be greater than 90°. If this were the case you would be missing out on seeing much of the area directly behind the vehicle

I'm not sure why mine is better than 45 feet but I am looking at my front gate and driveway at 4AM in total darkness and I can clearly see my truck front end at 100 feet from the camera??? Yes, I get up early ;)

I mounted them to the camper not the awning. Ran 1.5inches below where the awning was attached to the camper. The lights have an adhesive strip and silicon mounts (buy aluminum 1/4' screws not what comes with it the light as they will rust). Then I to for good measure put a bead of clear silicon around the edges. 2 years and we get other campers stopping by.

I mounted mine directly to existing mount for light below eves of home to illuminate backyard. No real mounting height recomendations came with. I'd sy no higher than 20'feet. If go that high you will be amazed of how large an area you will illuminate.

I apologize for the late response but the ideal spot would be middle. The lights a very bright so even if you put them on top it is still doing its job. I have a 55 in pioneer so the only place I could but it was on the top and it looks great. I can possibly send you a pic of what it looks like. Thanks and sorry about the late response good luck.

It is bright, but I wouldn't say "very". The light is also focussed on the spot it is aimed at, so of course it won't directly light the area outside of the focus. I don't know about the mount being on the side.

I have a set of three for each vehicle. At NIGHT, they are really bright--they will really get one's attention a good distance away. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for warning at night. In the DAY, I would not use them at all. In the flash mode, The LED that is directly inline with the eye is sort of visible but at 60 feet away, it won't reach out and grab you. The two LEDs on either side of the one inline with the eye are reduced even more in visibility.Bottom line: At night--awesome. In daytime--not!
