Additionally, there are no reverse image issues and the Sharx camera has proven to be durable, both water and snow proof. Only loss of signal interference are brief, under a half second long and occur on occasion when stopped or driving through some intersections with traffic/security cameras.

So glad this thread came up again. Still pricey, but glad to know it works. I will have to remember this come spring. I would love it for backing into site.
How is the infrared at. Night?

________________________________________
I'm not sure how functional the range is in the dark....Mainly because of the wildlife, we've never driven for any significant duration nor navigated into a site beyond dusk (believe me when I say my trailer backing up skills are no better than a C+. Grade inflation-likely co-pilot Wife would remark no better than C-).
When backing up it is nice to see and
just miss brush, rocks, tree roots and limbs in the path.
Zooming-resuming with the semi fish eye lens is easy with the "two finger pinch-spread touch screen manuever".
One may see headlights for over a mile back though the resolution-infrared range is not huge due to technical limitations (physicists/engineers chime in).
In spring I'll try to remember to try it out (drive &/or navigate) when "Mercury" emerges out of hibernation.
BUT I find it most reassuring while traveling on a highway and simultaneously
at a glance, be able to see vehicles (oncoming who haven't changed lanes to pass or ones that I just have passed) behind while at the same time in the foreground, the amount of bike handlebar and saddle movement on the rear rack when driving over a bump or dip in the road.
Lastly, the Motorola Droid Mini in the dash mount (with a small home-made out of recycled rubberized packaging sunshade) isn't a space occupying giant on the dash and during the day I gain up the cell phone brightness and at night I reduce it.
