Backup camera questions
Hey everyone, I'm looking to install a backup camera on my Limited BRZ. I've done A LOT of forum searching and research so I'm pretty familiar with what to do and what I need. Really, I just need help deciding on WHICH camera to get. These are the choices I'm considering:
BOYO VTB123HD [ame="http://www.amazon.com/BOYO-VTB123HD-Side-View-Camera/dp/B006SF69B0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361189086&sr=8-1&keywords=Boyo+VTB123"]Amazon.com: BOYO VTB123HD Side View and Rear View Dual Use Camera: Car Electronics[/ame] Rydeen Mobile Duo http://www.al-eds.com/Rydeen-Mobile-...0B-p22239.html Accele RVC1150T http://www.crutchfield.com/p_074RVC1...ml#details-tab So, I know some members here have these cameras installed. What I want to know is, is it worth it to spend double or triple the money on some of these cameras. The BOYO is appealing to me because it doesn't stand out very much and seems to have good picture quality, even at night due to our bright reverse lights. I'm just not crazy about the idea of drilling such a large hole into my car and having it not perform to expectations, or break. The Accele seems similar to this, just 3x as much money. I haven't seen any shots of what its capture is like during the day or night but I assume it's decent, is the build quality worth 3x the price over the BOYO though? The Rydeen is different than these 2 because the hole you need to drill is much smaller, but it sticks out much more. Picture quality compared to the BOYO doesn't strike me as much different, not sure about build quality though, it is twice the price and even though it says "night vision" it doesn't look any better than the BOYO in night. If you couldn't tell, I'm leaning towards the BOYO, I just need to know if that'd be a good decision and what opinions you guys may have for or against any of these cameras. Also, how secure are the boyo/accele cameras once installed, I know they have 'claws' of sorts to hold on but do you need any tape or glue as well? Here are pictures I've found from other users on various forums using each camera.

Get the Rydeen Duo...I just installed mine and it looks great night + day but most importantly it's built like a rock - the difference in cost for these cameras usually isn't in picture quality - it's in build quality
