I sent an email with pics of the Rydeen camera that this eBay vendor is selling to Rydeen. I also contacted the vendor and asked if this was a genuine Rydeen camera and why it did not have a serial#/model# sticker on it. He told me that he purchased them from Rydeen in bulk.
This vendor also has a website where he sells Rydeen? cameras. http://www.backup-camera.com/
Here's the reply from Rydeen's director of sales and marketing:
"We do not sell to any On Line merchants and if a product is missing a serial number it will not have a warranty no matter what it's origin is. Unlike Costco, we do not sell "bulk" items. Sorry, I can't be of more assistance but when you buy products from ebay you are taking a risk. Good luck with your purchase."

I also received the wire harness and reverse trigger wire from SVXdc this week. I installed the reverse trigger wire and the wire harness today and hooked the camera up to it. Like yours, 808BRZ, NO PICTURE. I am getting 6.11V from the wire harness.
I again hooked the camera up to my TV and used 4 C cell batteries, 6.48V total and got a picture. Then I tried 4 AA batteries, 6.32V total, NO PICTURE.

So is this a fake Rydeen, or did the vendor buy it from another source and Rydeen changed their voltage specs??

Now I have to tap into a 12V line to get this camera to work or file a claim with eBay.

And what about other online vendors who are selling Rydeen cameras? If Rydeen does not sell to online vendors where are they getting theirs?
