Default Back up Camera input!!!!

Hey guys and gals. I am thinking about finally biting the bullet and buying a Lockpick. When I do I am also gonna get a back up camera. I need to know some input on which cameras yall are using and about what the price and the best way to hook them up are. Brand, price, day/night easeability. I am torn right now on what to buy. I have really been wanting a lockpick but there is also a fire helment camera that I have been wanting also. it has a suction cup so I can use it at work or on the trails. Well thanks in advance on your suggestions.
Thanks
Andrew

Im running my backup camera to my NavTV (Not Lockpick). Works amazing and the quality for such a small camera is great Day or night. I actually purchased the camera from the lockpick company... Coastal? Whatever, its great!

Also cut in some video screens to headrests! Search...

I bought mine from the same place I got my lockpick. It worked great until I accidentally got the little black box on the cable pinched by my tire carrier when I was working on it one day. I havn't had any luck trying to find a replacement part so I guess I will just purchase the whole camera again from them. I was happy with it before I broke it.

Just some input. When looking for a camera you will notice two general price ranges about $50 and about $100. The $50 are for CMOS technology camera and $100 are for CCD. The CCD have better res and night viewing. The CMOS though often will come with infrared LEDs to view at night. Often CMOS is good enough for some people.
