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 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

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.
