Wonder what that camera is and its quality. Would it work with the lockpick so you dont need to use that external screen?

Looks a lot like this camera:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001P3...3979911&sr=8-1

Which I installed in my bumper last week. Seems to be fine for what I need - I'm not reading newspapers through it after all. Should work with anything that takes a composite input. Has wiring to reverse the image if your display doesn't do it (or maybe it's for if it does reverse it? No idea, but the option is there), but I didn't need to try that.

For $20 I'm happy, and consider it almost disposable if it gets damaged.

Bookmarked! Good find. Thanks for that!

Sorry its been sitting in my garage. I think I'm going to mount it above the rear view mirror. For those of you wondering if it can plug into a lockpick, it uses standard rca cables for video so I'm guessing yes.
