NATIKA ASOH-252 Vehicle Backup Camera

The backup camera arrived on time and with everything you need. I purchased this camera somewhere back in October of 2019. At the time when I installed it, it did not show up on my head unit. I did not return it since it was my first time installing one and I figured I might have messed up somewhere. A week later I double-checked over my work and found that I installed everything correctly, it's just the T-Tap they provided did not connect the camera wire to my reverse light wire completely because the camera wire was really thin and the metal plate in the T-Tap did not tap into it. That was an easy fix which was to use traditional crimp connectors and bam, the reverse camera showed up on my Kenwood unit as soon as I put the car into reverse. I installed the camera on my 2005 Honda CR-V and the 1997-2006 CR-V's have the spare tire mounted on the door. Because of this, I mounted the camera as close to the center as possible without being too low as the main reason I wanted the camera was to see my bumper and make hooking up the trailer a lot easier. It sits on my bumper instead of hanging from the top of the license plate. If you do install it like this (Most people install like this on trucks) MAKE SURE TO CUT THE PURPLE WIRE!! Doing this will prevent the upside-down image as this camera is default a hanging from the top of license plate design. Overall it's worth the price, sure it may be a little more pricey than those $10 screw onto license plate ones but the picture quality on those are so grainy and look like sh*t at night. This camera gives you the option of putting it wherever and looks OEM. The picture quality itself looks like it would be from an OEM 2020 vehicle with a standard reverse cam and night quality is outstanding! Give this camera a shot, you won't regret it, I'm still using this camera as of June 2020 and the picture still looks as new as when I got it first installed and thats after all the rain I've also driven through with it.

Very good camera. Picture is clear and looks like oem

Works great. Good vision day and night

The camera was great, clear image, solid build and looks close to a factory finish. A couple of months short of 2 years, it stopped sending a signal to the screen. I bought another one, because we were happy with the performance of the first one. Then messaged the company about what had happened (not really expecting a reply, let alone a refund) and they sent me a full refund for the original camera. Would definitely buy again if the need arises.

I needed to bring my dad’s 2006 Toyota 4Runner into the 2019 so I opted to add a Sony XAVAX1000 CarPlay enabled head unit, steering wheel control adapter, and this NATIKA IP69K. This set up works amazingly well. Let me explain my experience with back up cameras and tell you about this one. My family’s first back up camera came with our 2012 Odyssey. I was impressed with the clarity and the overall performance of it. Our other back up camera is in a Lexus LS460, and that one was just nuts with how clear it can be. It was like a real camera was used. From there I have had several rentals and loaner cars and even though they were newer cars the quality was so bad. The video quality looked like watching something recorded from the 80’s. I am not sure if it was a camera issue, screen issue or something else but they were quite bad overall. Fast forward to now and I wanted to get my dad a quality camera so it would actually help him. I picked this based on the reviews particularly about the build quality. I liked that it had multiple colors of housing, I also liked how they included different padding to adjust the angle. One thing I debated was buying this model or doing one of the cameras built into the light models. After looking for a while I decided this model was so small and so pleasing to see (meaning you don’t even notice it) that I skipped the two in one unit. I took the items to BestBuy to be installed. The first thing I did was ask the installer to look at the camera and test it out. He told me it worked great, and he was really impressed with the build quality. He said the grade of cables used, how they fed in and out of the camera, and the all the packing, extra parts and instructions were very top notch. He said sometimes he gets cameras where it is just the camera and instructions in Chinese, and this was not how NATIKA did theirs. I am not sure what setting he used for it. I think online it says it has multiple ones. I asked him for the most basic/normal view for my dad with grid lines. That is exactly what I got Overall, the camera is awesome. It is so clear in combination with the Sony head unit I bought. I recommend this to anyone who needs a backup camera for their car. You don’t have to get one of those ugly huge ones that bolt on to the license plate. This one is quite incognito and looks OEM. Are there cheaper camera out there? Maybe. However this one is pretty affordable and has delivered for me and countless other people.
