Reversing camera recommendations

Has anyone had any experience with the cheapo reversing cameras from eBay?

e.g. this one, or this kind of thing??

I have a stereo which will accept a camera so I wonder if anyone has one or has had one and can tell me whether it was any good or not?

I had one of these and it worked well.

I had it connected to my touch screen and head unit.

When i had installed the Camera i couldn't centre it because of the plate light.....so mocked up a bracket and secured it using the existing license plate screw holes, and used leds for lights and mounted the camera in the centre

If anyone wants any info on the wiring let me know and I'll write it up.

I think I saw somewhere that you can get combined reversing cameras and lights designed to replace the number plate light. I think I saw one fitted on a 7th gen accord but it was a unit intended for a civic of a similar age. Wonder if there's anything like that for our Preludes.
