Disappointing Upgrade for My Vehicle Cam System

 This post is part of my activities with AliExpress, and I may receive a commission for purchases made through links in this content.


I recently picked up the Imagebon 6m/10m AHD 1080P Backup Rear Camera 4 Pin 2.5mm Automatic Reversing Rearview Mirror Cam Car DVR, hoping to replace my aging backup camera unit. The allure was the AHD 1080P capability, promising a much clearer view than what I currently had, especially since I wanted a reliable automatic reversing feature for my daily commute. I was really looking forward to this upgrade for better safety and ease when parking.

Unfortunately, my experience has been pretty frustrating right out of the box. The primary issue I noticed immediately is the image quality—it’s noticeably grainy and quite dark. I specifically tested it at night with headlights shining on it, and I genuinely couldn't see clearly; it looked washed out, almost like I needed to put my old unit back in, even though my old one wasn't waterproof.


It seems like others have run into similar visibility hurdles, as I saw comments about poor nighttime performance.


Beyond the performance letdown, I’ve heard some alarming reports regarding the seller’s customer service, which is concerning. One buyer mentioned receiving a broken unit and then being given the runaround after agreeing to a resolution—a serious red flag concerning support if you run into any issues with this reversing rearview mirror cam. While I luckily didn't have to deal with replacements, the general sentiment about quality control and installation issues (as one person noted it 'didn't fit') makes me hesitant about this particular product.


I really can't recommend the Imagebon 6m/10m AHD 1080P Backup Rear Camera to anyone needing a reliable, clear nighttime visual aid. If you prioritize crisp visuals over connectivity specifications, you might want to keep searching. For now, I am rethinking whether this replacement camera is worth keeping installed given the poor clarity.


If you are purely looking for a simple AHD 1080P system for daytime use only and are willing to gamble on customer service, maybe give this a look. However, based on my real-world testing and what other users have reported, I would strongly advise caution before committing to this backup system.
