Also have you tried angling the camera down a bit? Will it give you a good view of the hitch? Ie: could you use it to help you align it with a trailer?


Thanks!
I believe the camera is either a VTL300 or 350, I'm not sure but I think it's the 300. I got it online for a little less than $200 shipped to my door. I LOVE it, it's amazing how fast it adjusts to light. It's great at night, a lot better than I expected to be. As soon as it cuts on, in less than a second it will auto-adjust to the low light and with your reverse/brake lights, backing up is a snap. The only condition that it somewhat struggles with is if the sun is directly in the picture, but I'm sure that's with any camera. It's funny you should mention angling it down; I actually did that this weekend. Took about 30 seconds and a 1/16" allen wrench, fixed the direct sun problem too
