AUTO VOX T9 Quick Review
Auto Vox makes this backup camera and mirror monitor system for use 100% of the time. The mirror replaces your factory mirror, and once installed, displays the camera image on the entire mirror all the time. The mirror measures 9.35-inches and has touchscreen options for controlling your camera image.
The mirror mounts using the factory windshield clip and the camera uses a bar-type license plate frame mount. You’ll need to wire the camera to the monitor and both components to power in order to use it, so it’s a little more complex than some installations. A removable SD card even provides rear image recording full-time that automatically loop records when out of space.
Reasons to Buy
- Great looking monitor that replaces the mirror for a high-tech solution
- Excellent image day or night
Reasons Not to Buy
- Difficult wiring that requires lots of interior trim removal and wiring connections
- Full-time function means you’ll lose rear view if the camera fails

LeeKooLuu LK3 Quick Review
This is a complete package to add 1080P HD-quality rear view to your dash. It uses a 4.3” monitor to provide the image. The rear camera mounts to your license plate using a bar-type support. You can wire this system to operate in reverse only or use the included power cable that features an on/off switch. Wiring is simplified from many systems because you only need to make one power connection.
The camera mounts to the license plate. It’s IP-69 rated, the highest possible rating and is considered waterproof. It uses an upgraded chipset and six glass lenses for crystal clear HD images even in fog, rain, and bright light. Built-in IR LED diodes enhance night vision. This is a reliable monitor and camera combo at a great price.
Reasons to Buy
- High resolution camera (1080p)
- Cigarette lighter power adapter for easy wiring (if needed)
- Adjustable parking lines
Reasons Not to Buy
- Non-IR camera (lower quality at night)
- Decent viewing angle (149 degrees). Could be more
- Camera isn't adjustable

Rohent R9 Quick Review
This system is perfect for large vehicles where running cable from the camera to the monitor isn’t practical. Once connected, the camera wirelessly sends video signal to the included 7-inch LCD multi-function monitor. Resolution is an impressive 1080P for clear images even in low light conditions. The camera bolts in place for a sturdy and secure installation. The multi-function monitor allows two video inputs, so you can add a front camera.
A downside of many wireless systems is poor performance when driving. This system is capable of providing an image from the rear of the vehicle at freeway speeds up to 56 feet from the monitor to the camera. Built-in transmitters and receivers simplify wiring and making this a convenient camera setup with an excellent monitor.
Reasons to Buy
- Great quality screen
- Easy to set up and operate
- Perfect for large vehicles
Reasons Not to Buy
- Bulky camera and monitor setup doesn’t blend with the interior of most vehicles
- Installation instructions and video are not clear
