where are people putting their back up cameras?

right above the license plate? in the reverse light? anywhere else?

i want something with the best angle and clarity. Im going to have it hooked up to a switch so that it's on when im driving as well.

I'd like to know too. I don't wanna drill a hole in my trunk though.

What brand of backup cameras do you guys have? I'm wondering if I should get the real Pioneer one $175 or get one of the Ebay Specials ($80).

I really want the Alpine, but it costs twice as much!

I've installed a few here in Ny right in the middle of the plate. We have the NY state o. utline in the middle. It fits perfectly

I got the ebay special, C-7 camera from "mp3playerstore.com." He's in canada so shiping is $20, but i got mine for $21 so $41 total. ive tracked the sales of these cameras and they go from $20 to $30. It seems pretty good. This camera was recommended to me by Bootlegged. He made a post and review of that camera (8/10) and at $40, you cant beat that

The front of the camera is a bit larger than the body, so when you drill a hole, just slide the camera in from the front and the back end is threaded and has the thing you screw in to lock it in place. I just got mine mounted today
