ATOTOAC-HD03LR 720P Rearview Backup Camera (180° Wide-Angle), for ATOTO S8 SD/PM/UL/UP/PR only, Not for S8 MS/UN/PN, VSV (Virtual Surround-View) Parking, LRV (Live Rear-View), Night Vision&Waterproof

I went with the ATOTO S8 Ultra, the ATOOT CA-AEC02 amp, the ATOTO AC-FCR04W front cam, and ATOTO AC-HD03LR rear cam. Those were all things I wanted, so I figured why not get all the same brand for compatibility. I'm going to post the same review in all of them.First, I'm blown away by how premium the head unit is. I've got a 2015 Fiat 500L with beats audio. Adding the head unit first easily upgrade the audio. A TON of settings to dial in (I used ChatGPT) and honestly, I could have stopped there and not added the amp. I may not bother changing out the speakers. It's easily a HUGE upgrade by itself.I added a sim and a sd card, downloaded a google maps offline map, all of my spotify playlists at highest quality and youtube music playlists. This way it uses very little data AND I no longer have to use android auto if I don't want to. I can finally leave my phone in my pocket while getting maps and music.The amp. It's tight, but it fits behind the head unit. I had to clear out as much plastic behind the head unit as possible. Also, some people mentioned the head unit overheats. I bought a 2x 50mm usb fan on Amazon and hooked it up to the head unit (it has more usb that I'd use anyway). So, it comes on and off with the head unit and the amp will never overheat. Also went with the optical cable. This does improve the sound (not the same jump as stock radio to the S8 ultra, but noticeably cleaner). I love that I don't have to mount it under a seat or in the trunk. Again, I'm conflicted about getting speakers (I'm looking at some focals) but I'm also curious if this setup can take a good set of speakers to yet another level. Especially with the level of customization available (16 levels front and 16 back, cross over, loudness, time delay) you can really geek out.Camera's are both good, no issues. The 360 view is trippy at first.I didn't try the tire pressure monitoring, wifi hotspot, or gesture controls (not my thing). The sim card tray was just a little loose (a small piece of electrical tape on the back got it snug enough to fit and work).Support was fast and helpful.Going forward I'll be looking at ATOTO units in the future. I'm always going to be looking at an android setup and their stuff is top shelf so I genuinely have no reason to look elsewhere.

Cool top view feature. calibration works, but it's a little tricky to tap the screen just right to get into the settings sometimes. Tape a string with a weight on the bottom to the bumper to get the distance just right on the checkerboard. I've had it for over a year now, and it's getting a little foggy. For some cars, if you have a license plate light above the camera, it will interfere with visibility because of the glare. The license plate mount is NOT the way to go, it is too flexible and if you bump it on accident, it throws your calibration off. Use the static mounts and tighten them up nice and tight (without stripping the hole) once you get the calibration right. Also, it would be nice to have an option to have a non fisheye in reverse. Overall a good purchase.

Very clear cam easy to use

I calibrated it the first time and it worked for that evening and then after that just kept going blurry and I have calibrated to ever since then and never got it to look right and I'm just done with it I've spent way too much time trying to get this thing to work with no luck

Worth the price

I absolutely love my S8 and this camera has great functionality and a good picture but waterproofing is extremely poor. I've gone through 2 cameras now with both lasting only 6 months. The 2nd one just went out last night after a bad rain. Reading through other reviews I'm not the only one having this problem. I'll be going with a different brand camera going forward. Hopefully they fix this issue with an updated model. For now this isn't worth the price for how long it lasts.

Overall the camera is pretty good. It works well with the Atoto head unit, has good picture quality, is easy enough to install, and it's nice that it provides a full 180 degree view; however, it only lasted me about 6 months before it stopped working entirely.I installed this on my vehicle in May, but by December the camera stopped functioning altogether. The description states that this camera is IP67 rated for outdoor use, but I don't think this is true. After 6 months mounted in the elements, the screws on the back of the camera were rusty and the camera failed entirely. I was concerned there might be an issue with the wiring or the head unit, but I replaced it with the same model camera and it worked perfectly. I made sure to seal the housing of the new camera with silicone sealant, as well as put dabs of silicone over the screws after it was mounted. Additionally, I installed it inside of a camera visor (ASIN: B09LQL5W4P) to further protect it from the elements now that I know it's susceptible to failure.Overall, it's a good camera for the intended purpose but there are some obvious moisture intrusion issues that will result in total failure of the camera if you don't take extra precautions to keep moisture out of the camera.

Camera is very clear. Works good. Kind of hard to calibrate.
