Review: Excellent for the price, not difficult to install - I bought this device for my 2009 Ford Ranger extended cab. When I received the camera, it had the following in the box: 1. Camera 2. 17'-ish long composite cable 3. Power cable 4. Utterly useless instructions. I did not have a wire alongside the composite cable. I wound up running a single 18 gauge wire to send the signal to the head unit to turn on. The composite cord is just long enough without having to extend it on my truck - for other Ranger owners, drop the wire from the radio down the driver's (left) side of the tranny tunnel, then go through the grommet that is under the driver's seat. I put the wires in loom and snaked them along the frame alongside the other wiring for the truck and it's *just* long enough to get back to the bumper. I soldered a wire onto the positive side of the backup light, and I grounded the camera above the spare tire (using an existing 10mm bolt that bolts the spare tire cable assembly to the truck), which you'll want to remove to have some room hooking things up. I don't recommend the camera be on all the time, it'll probably wear out too fast. If you have a trailer and want to be able to turn the camera on, use a diode at the backup light and hook up an auxiliary switch on the dash somewhere to put +12V on the power line you run from the back of the truck - this will turn the camera and the radio input on and the diode will prevent the backup lights from coming on if you want to use the camera independently. Make sure you solder all the connections! The quality of the camera is a lot better than I thought it would be. Haven't tried it at night yet. Edit: I've now had this unit for 2.5 months. Camera still works perfectly. Night vision is actually pretty decent - the backup lights on my truck are pretty bright and I could even see a car parked across the street from my house. It's nothing like infrared and the image can be a bit grainy at night but you can easily identify people walking or parked vehicles. I also discovered that if a raindrop sits on the camera it looks like your LCD screen is broken in the truck. That gave me a heart attack the first time I saw that. Now as a part of my morning routine I wipe off my side mirrors and the camera at the same time and problem solved! ;-) Edit (2014-11-28): For those wondering about durability and longevity, I've now had this for about one year and four months. I've dropped things on the camera while loading my truck (if it wasn't metal I'm sure it would have broken), I've caught it with my toe climbing in and out of the truck bed, it's been through the carwash several times, it's been buried in snow a few times, covered in snowy mud from highways, and it's seen temperatures of about -20 celcius. The dang thing is still working! Edit (2018-03-10): Well, it seems the camera got moisture behind the lens making it useless (the camera still works but it is so blurry you can't tell what it's showing. Lasted about 5 years for me. Review: May cover your registration sticker - This is likely the same camera as many others that look like it. I bought it to replace one that got real blurry and was able to just plug it into the existing power and video cable. The camera is wired to be powered at all times so I can turn it on while driving forward with the "rear camera" button on my A/V receiver. Very handy when the rear window is blocked or I'm paranoid about what's behind me. The only beef I have is that there doesn't appear to be any way to disable the parking lines, I should have verified that before I bought it. The mounting bracket is also pretty long, it extends over the registration sticker and that will get you in trouble where I live. I had to fab up little extenders and mount it above my plate. ## Features - Discreet and Compact Design:The slim bar-style camera is designed to be discreet and mounts easily above your license plate, offering a sleek, low-profile look that blends seamlessly with your vehicle's exterior, so you'll hardly notice it's there. - Built to Withstand the Elements:With an IP-68 waterproof rating, this camera is fully equipped to handle extreme weather conditions, keeping your view clear and fog-free even in the heaviest rain or storms, ensuring consistent performance year-round. - Accurate Parking Assistance:Built-in distance scale lines and a tilt-adjustable camera lens help you park and reverse with greater accuracy, reducing reliance on side mirrors and giving you a clearer, safer view of your surroundings. - Exceptional Night Vision:With a 0.2 LUX low light performance, this camera provides clear, crisp images even in low-light conditions, ensuring you can drive safely at night or in dimly lit areas with ease. - Wide Compatibility for Easy Integration: Featuring RCA video output, this camera effortlessly connects to any RCA-compatible device, including rearview monitors, in-dash screens, or DVR systems, ensuring a seamless and intuitive setup. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0079R2MH6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #46,177 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #470 in Vehicle Backup Cameras | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (2,315) | | Date First Available | February 1, 2012 | | Height (inches) | 0 inches | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 9.9 ounces | | Item model number | PLCM18BC | | Product Dimensions | 3.25 x 10.25 x 1.75 inches | | Warranty | One year limited | | Weight | 3.7 Kilograms | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Pyle - **Compatible Devices:** Monitor - **Connector Type:** RCA - **Installation Type:** Bracket Mount,Flush Mount,Surface Mount - **Lens Type:** Wide Angle - **Optical Sensor Technology:** CMOS - **Product Dimensions:** 3.25"L x 10.25"W x 1.75"H - **Real Angle of View:** 170 Degrees - **Screen Size:** 10 Inches - **Voltage:** 12 Volts ## Images ![Pyle RV Backup Camera for Car, Waterproof Marine-Grade with License Plate Cam - Built-in Distance Scale Lines Slim Bar Cam w/ 420 TVL Resolution Adjustable Lens, RCA Video Cable, 10'' x 1.3'' x 1.3’’ - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DixJaeACL.jpg) ![Pyle RV Backup Camera for Car, Waterproof Marine-Grade with License Plate Cam - Built-in Distance Scale Lines Slim Bar Cam w/ 420 TVL Resolution Adjustable Lens, RCA Video Cable, 10'' x 1.3'' x 1.3’’ - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81O8QfOyu4L.jpg) ![Pyle RV Backup Camera for Car, Waterproof Marine-Grade with License Plate Cam - Built-in Distance Scale Lines Slim Bar Cam w/ 420 TVL Resolution Adjustable Lens, RCA Video Cable, 10'' x 1.3'' x 1.3’’ - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QL6aL0xhL.jpg) ![Pyle RV Backup Camera for Car, Waterproof Marine-Grade with License Plate Cam - Built-in Distance Scale Lines Slim Bar Cam w/ 420 TVL Resolution Adjustable Lens, RCA Video Cable, 10'' x 1.3'' x 1.3’’ - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81WMN86oCZL.jpg) ![Pyle RV Backup Camera for Car, Waterproof Marine-Grade with License Plate Cam - Built-in Distance Scale Lines Slim Bar Cam w/ 420 TVL Resolution Adjustable Lens, RCA Video Cable, 10'' x 1.3'' x 1.3’’ - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yoJifamEL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How long is the power and negative cable from the camera?** A: Negative is short, maybe 3'. Positive is maybe 10'. Needed an extension to install in my 2008 Silverado. **Q: Also one more question for you all that have bought this back up camera. Is this hard to install because I haven't never had one it's for a lumina** A: These are a pain to install. Its a pain running the cable from the radio head unit to the back of the car, to the trunk. I did it on a VW and needed the big manual to figure how to take the seat apart to get behind it. Also had to run through the trunk hinge area. Oh and the wiring in the breaklight that you need to tap into is crazy thin. Never did get mine to stay with the good connection and not enough slack to risk cutting this wire for lights that you need to be legal on the road. Spend the $100 to get this $20 part installed by a pro. **Q: My screen/receiver wants a camera that "outputs mirror-reversed images". Does this camera output in such a way?** A: I don't think it does. If your receiver is asking for mirror reversed images, if would have to reverse the image to show correct on screen. **Q: I have European size license plate, how can I mount this camera? Thank you.** A: I am not familiar with the European size of the licence plate. The mounting slots on the Pyle PLCM18BC are 7 inches apart at the narrowest, and 8.75 inches at the widest. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for the price, not difficult to install *by D***F on September 2, 2013* I bought this device for my 2009 Ford Ranger extended cab.

This product is just as advertised and once installed properly, is on point. Now, my unit did not come with directions for installation but I figured I would pretend Google didnt exist and went at it. First there are two cables with this unit, one is a video male to male connector (for hooking up to display unit, stereo, tv, or projector if you are really odd) and another one that plugs into the power jack on camera and then has a naked end with positive and negative wires (exposed). I found the reverse light wires running to reverse lights and spliced the red and black to the positive and negative leads to reverse light, which gives the camera power only when the reverse lights are on (when in reverse obviously) I then ran the video cable to head unit and hooked up and every thing was great. The one thing i did not figure out, was a small thin red wire that was exposed at both ends of the video cable. I am not sure if that is something to hook up to the monitor or head unit that makes it automatically switch to the camera feed once vehicle is put into reverse. But the camera works fine as is, and I did not want to resort to google as I mentioned earlier. Oh and the hardest part if you have a tailgate or hatchback is running the wires from the camera THRU some orifice (I used the place where my license plate lights are) to get it into the cabin of car to run video cable thru car to head unit or monitor. Okay all of that being said. It was not that hard to install once I worked out the obvious and the quality of the image is very very very clear and the adjustable camera angle is easy to work out and my wife likes the three color (red yellow green) back up scale lines imposed on the image. Good stuff. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pyle License Plate Rear View Camera - Built-in Distance Scale Lines Backup Parking/Reverse Assist Waterproof Adjustable Slim Bar Cam w/ 420 TVL Resolution & RCA Output Zinc Black Chrome PLCM18BC - PYLE Vehicle Backup Camera for Car, 7 inch Monitor Reverse Camera, Stable Back Up Camera Systems for Car, rv License Plate Camera, Water Proof Night Vision, Rear View Camera Truck Camera - DALLUX Backup Camera RCA Video Cable,CAR Reverse Rear View Parking Camera Video Cable with DC Power Cable & RCA Connector, DC Power Adapter, Cable Clip (33FT/10 Meters) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1148162-pyle-rv-backup-camera-for-car-waterproof-marine-grade-license](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1148162-pyle-rv-backup-camera-for-car-waterproof-marine-grade-license) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
