    Any recommendations on which brand / type of camera to buy during backup / reverse? Have already scratched my car once.

    If I had to rely on my backup camera to avoid scratching my car, I would take the bus. The backup camera can't possibly take the place of the mirrors. It is nice to see if there is a trike or some other toy or pet close to your rear bumper, but the perspective is too strange to navigate with it as your main source of information, at least in my opinion.

    coastaltech makes a nice one with night vision and distance markers.
