## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not stealthy, Image quality is very good.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States May 3, 2021*

Easy to install. Rear Bumper on a 2014 Jeep JKU. Instructions were simple. I didn’t realize at the time, though small, it isn’t very stealthy. It’s noticeable. Though I’m not expecting 4K UHD video, the Image quality was more than I expected from Kenwood. I have it hooked up to a Kenwood DMX-706s. Originally I rated this with a 4 star, but have since had time to study it. It’s an awesome little camera. The clarity at night is awesome! While reversing at night it’s super clear and lit up. My only slight concern is the bracket is a little flimsy for off road. But it’s a simple design that if you’re a little crafty you could easily beef it up or fabricate a stronger one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp night time image.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States February 28, 2017*

This camera is excellent. It seems to be about the same size as an OEM mounted camera. I only have a camera on a 14 outback to compare it too. Both work well in daylight but this kenwood seems much better in the dark. The display is sharp and clear. I have ran it through the car wash 3 times already and it has survived driving through 1 snow storm. My installer even commented on the quality of the camera. He was impressed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great camera
*by  on Reviewed in the United States March 11, 2016*

Camera was a little time consuming to install but that was expected. Great picture, only down side is it is not water proof apparently. We will see if it holds up. Other then that worth the purchase. Mine does not have grid lines. However this may lie in the radio you are using if it has them or not.
