I was looking at the Quadratec rear camera backup system. Has anyone used this system before and if so, what is your opinion of it. Or does anyone know of a good quality rear backup camera to tye into my existing stereo system?
I have had the Volway 10" 2.5K dash cam mirror with backup camera (https://amzn.to/3uG3vkd) since December. It works great.I was looking at the Quadratec rear camera backup system.

I looked at the Quadratec camera and ended up with this instead:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/3740160946...d=link&campid=5337789113&toolid=20001&mkevt=1
It fits perfectly, has a solid mounting bracket, a good wiring harness that allows power for the camera to be tied in at either end, and it works perfectly, all for under $60.
Quadratec wants $60 for the mount alone, or $150+ for a camera that comes with one.
It's my opinion that you can get an equal or better product for way less $$ elsewhere.
BTW, I tied that eBay camera into my factory head unit and updated the configuration to make it work with Jscan & the iCar Pro OBDII scanner.
That gave me a backup camera for less than $80 (including the iCar license of $20); which is about half the price for just a camera at Quadratec.
Thx. I'll take a look at some other places within the software. Under Adaptation, Radio & Camera it had a pick to make the rear camera "Active" but I didn't look any farther than that...IIRC, JSCAN has a couple of settings that need to be altered to enable the video feed.
JScan is great, but there are certainly some things that are buried in weird places.Thx. I'll take a look at some other places within the software. Under Adaptation, Radio & Camera it had a pick to make the rear camera "Active" but I didn't look any farther than that...
I found this on the Jscan site that documents what I've already done. I'll still look for other areas though to rule that out. The radio is acting like I would expect - triggered by reverse, camera options show up in settings now, check your surroundings, etc.JScan is great, but there are certainly some things that are buried in weird places.
I also went with a camera that has IR. I am interested to try it out in different lighting. The picture I attached above is a bit washed out and I think that is due to the vehicle being in a darker garage. We'll see how it all works out...it has IR vision when its dark
I will try n take a pic during night but for now heres the dayI also went with a camera that has IR. I am interested to try it out in different lighting.
