We use a kit which is something like this:

Instead of hard-wiring ours into the ignition, we have a cig lighter type plug on it and just put in into one of the 12v sockets on the dash, it means it can be used as a rear view camera and/or reversing system as it is on all the time if we want it to be (as our 12v sockets go off when the ignition is turned off there's no danger of leaving it powered). The monitor just goes over the existing rear-view mirror so is at the place you 'naturally' look and the camera has night vision too. :thumb:
To fix the wiring to the chassis use some chassis clips as it makes the job much easier than trying to cable tie it!

These cameras are only let down by the poor quality paint or plastikote. Often coated over rusty metal, my dual camera fitted only a bit over a year ago is a disgrace
Still a good picture but I took it off today.
This is how it was, I since fitted a bike rack so better to have a low and high level pair instead

My twin camera is a very similar unit but has a stainless steel bracket so is unlikely to corrode, it gives a excellent picture even in strong direct sunlight,
All in all very satisfied with my purchase ,

The nearest I could find with SS bracket & shade is £299 which is 4 times the price of a regular dual.

Well it quite clearly says stainless steel,
The complete cost for camera+ 15M of lead+7 inch 4 way monitor and additional leads for side view cameras with P/ P was
£272.54
Camera details
This is a twin lens camera using high quality Sony CCD sensors. It has two cameras, one with a wide angled lens of 150 degrees which is used to look down across the rear of the vehicle when reversing. The other is a narrower angled lens of 90 degrees for use as an always on rear view. The angle of tilt between the cameras is adjustable in 15 degree steps approximately. The cameras can be replaced individually if a problem develops in one. The connectors to the camera are our 4 pin waterproof ones. To use these with a normal monitor then two CAB002 or two CAB004 needs to be purchased. We have created a number of systems based on this camera. As all of our monitors will take two AV inputs then the camera will happily work with them. The white bodied version has now been upgraded with a stalinless steel bracket. Although it is not marine grade stainless steel, it does seem fairly salt water resistant. We have tested a bare bracket in a salt water solution over a number of weeks. The only area to suffer any minor corrosion has been the areas weakened in the pressing out process of making the bracket. To our knowledge we are the only people who have this combination of camera angle and stainless steel bracket.
Time will tell but it meets all my requirements so far:thumb:

Right I decided.
Bought the £56 one above.
It is made for thin walls or panels so this is my solution.
I will drill the rear wall above the valance in the centre the same diameter as the camera body itself but stop the holesaw pilot bit when it goes through the inner plywood. I'll then drill the plywood the diameter of the threaded section. This will allow the camera to recess almost flush to the outside whilst still being retained by the lockring.
