I purchased this to see how it would do and I was shocked at the quality of the image, the actual product itself, and the low light capabilities. I used to work at two different dealerships so I've seen my fair share of backup cameras and the quality of the image during the day and at night, but honestly this camera does better. The only thing this does not do is curve the lines when you turn the wheel but honestly I never used the lines to guide myself, they weren't fully accurate, just set universally for all vehicles from the manufacturer.
When I installed this product, I did it at night. Before I tested it, I looked up at the sky and barely could see clouds but when I saw the image from this camera on my head unit, I could see the clouds clearly.
The image on this is very clear in day and night, and I've used other aftermarket cameras, none of which had the night vision this does.
The housing for the camera is metal which just feels very solid and the mounting is easy to do, while the screw that keeps the camera from moving does a good job at holding it in place. You can mount this in a lot of different ways and the cables that come with the camera are exceptionally long, longer than what you'll need for most vehicles. You could probably install this on a bus without needing to extend the cables.
The instructions on what to cut to get rid of the lines is straight-forward and there is no mismatch on information such as the wires being a different color.
Natika responds very quickly to emails too so you don't have to wait days or weeks to hear back from them which is rare. They got back to me within an hour after my email was sent.
This product has been on my car across the US, been exposed to a pressure washer dozens of times, been in freezing temps and left out in the sun during 110 degree days for hours, and been on some really rough terrain yet the camera has survived it all. Just wipe off the lens and it's back to showing a clear image.
I highly recommend Natika cameras for setting up a backup camera system and front-facing camera system.

What is IP69K?
The IP69K rating is designed to address high pressure, high temperature wash down applications. The“6”applies to external protection from dust. The“9”signifies protection from close-range high-pressure spray downs, and the“K”applies to the high temperature of the water used. The IP69K rating was established in 1993 as an extension to the IEC 60529 standard. It was originally intended to be a standard for road vehicles that would provide protection against foreign objects such as dust, dirt, high-pressure water, heat, and inadvertent touch. The IP69K standard requires the water pressure to be between 1160-1450 psi, at a rate of about 4 gallons/minute, and at a temperature of 176ºF.

Small Camera With Big Feature Set
The Natika WD-007S backup camera is smaller than I expected--- a nicely shaped cube with rounded corners. Its metal housing and base, along with stainless steel mounting screws should last for many years. I chose to mount the camera to a custom-made steel bracket I made to fit under the rear bumper of my truck. Note that some states do not allow license tag frames (with or without a camera) that obscures part of the tag. I also prefer camera mounting under the bumper rather than in the tailgate handle (as some new trucks have), which doesn't help if the tailgate is down. The camera's base tilts more than 90 deg. and also has a few deg. of pan adjustment within mounting screw slots.The included video cable had enough length for my long-wheelbase vehicle. To ensure reliable performance in wet weather, I sealed the video and power cable connections near the camera with heat shrink tubing. I soldered all wire connections, too. The camera initially had the "flashing screen" anomaly (not weather-related), but the excellent Natika Support Staff shipped to me a new camera immediately that has worked perfectly. In further testing, I have sprayed the camera with a water hose for several minutes and also have driven in a few rain storms...all without a glitch.The included wiring diagram shows the camera power cable connecting to the vehicle's reverse lamp wiring (a common practice with backup camera instructions due to convenience). However, I connected the camera's Red (+) power lead with a dedicated 18 gauge wire that ran alongside the video cable to the head unit's wiring harness, to the ACC Accessory power lead. In this way, the camera always powers up with the head unit, the video switching is clean when I change gears, and any (unlikely) short circuit fault in the future will blow the appropriate fuse. Besides, reverse lamp circuits in a few brands of cars are pulse-type and unsuitable for use in powering a camera.The video cable (included) and dedicated camera power wire (not included) run inside a 1/4" ID wire loom (plastic conduit with lengthwise slit). I recommend to begin wiring at the camera, so that any excess cable can be tucked in behind the dash. I used zip ties and ran the wire loom alongside existing factory cables inside the frame rails, etc. all the way to the dash.The camera's video image looks sharp and colorful on the Pumpkin Android 8.0 head unit. The camera's image was (appropriately) mirrored by default, but you may cut a wire loop at the camera to change that configuration. My head unit already has guide lines for the backup image that can be enabled/disabled, and I prefer that instead of in-camera permanent guide lines. The Natika camera transmits clear images whether day or night (see the photos and video accompanying this review). This camera has very low power consumption because it does not have (or need) infrared LEDs for illumination. The vehicle's reverse lamps provide enough light, even in pitch dark conditions. This camera is highly recommended---FIVE STARS.

This is my second NATIKA Backup Camera. You can find my earlier review on the previous camera's page. [[ASIN:B075ZPNL7J NATIKA Backup Camera with Waterproof HD Night Vision Rear View Camera and 170 Degree Super Wide Angle Reverse Camera for Cars Jeep SUV RV Van MPV Trucks Micro Bus etc]]
This new camera is excellent and provides even greater low light sensitivity.
The camera looks identical to the previous version. Out of the box, it would be very difficult to distinguish one version from another.
The box comes with everything you need, except the display screen. In my case I am using a Master Tailgater's rear view mirror display.
I like the display, but it doesn't have the resolution to display all the detail that the camera provides. The image is actually better than the pictures show. From the driver's eye position, the display is less grainy. The pictures have to be taken much closer to the screen and it looks worse than in regular use.
If you compare the night pictures from this review and those from my previous review you will see how much lighter the image is at night. The night shot is shown with illumination from one LED street light. The car parked straight behind is approximately 90 ft away. The picture is very very good for such a small camera at this price. One night shot has a red hue due to the brake lights (ignore the reflection of the interior lights). The camera image is definitely light enough to see a bike, person or just about any object you would need to avoid when backing up.
I like that this version of the camera has the ability to remove the built-in guide lines (the reason I bought the second camera). The display I am using comes with it's own guidelines. The picture with the blue guide lines are from the camera. You cut the green wire loop to turn off the guide lines. I included pictures with the guide lines off.
I also included a picture taken from the trunk lid (iPhone 8) so that you have a reference image.
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and the assistance I have received from the NATIKA customer service representatives.
One question for the manufacturer - the product write up indicates "IP69K waterproof IP rate", but the box indicates IP68. It may be that the packaging hasn't been updated yet, but I can't confirm the waterproofing claims.
