I got a cheap one off amazon for about $15. It sucks in the dark but if some punk jacks it up when at the mall I'm only down $15.

That's pretty good set up having the plate on the spare but I have a bike rack plus I am looking for a bullet style. So far I think I might go with a safelight 0305 but I'm not sure if its NTSC.

Any one else have Any other recommendations?

What do you Mean Bullet Camera? The Center hub on your Spare, will the bike be mounted in front of that area? I took that Jeep Center Hub out. It's metal wrapped around plastic and It snaps into the Center...I removed the Metal, Drilled a hole in Center of that Plastic Hub, the Size of the Key hole camera i have, Camera snaps into the hole, Similair to Camera posted above...Snap the Hub with the camera back into the Spare Tire, Run wires beside and in the Loom that the High Mount Stop Light is already there and water tight. fast Work, Not Holes in the Bumpers....Dread Center of the jeep, higher up then Bumper, better Vision and camera has the best view because the Spare sticks further out and Bumper area has more Blockage of views.....The Best Part....Pretty much wouldn't know that you have a Camera until you point it out to someone....

I have read up on it also. There are two kinds of cameras to get. A Cmos and a CCD camera. The CCD camera is better all around with picture quality due to a digital signal. They are a little more expensive. I am about to install a lockpick and have both kinds of cameras to try out. Will report more then.
Google "how to choose an reverse camera" ebay offers a good explaination.
