Would be interested to know how well it works.

I wanted a reversing camera for a motorhome. Specialist wanted £300 to fit, another would sell the same camera system for £100. I got the identical system for £36 on ebay.

If you read the full description you will find it comes in a "brown box"! What a bargain, worth buying for that alone.
Seriously, I have bought loads of Chinese stuff from eBay, and it's all been reliable, just about everything we buy these days comes from there.

I wanted an action cam for track days (bikes) so I went down the road of trying to get one on the cheap, I bought 3 cheap ones from ebay, none of them were the same as this one, but very likely similar chinese quality.

the upshot for me was....I ended up buying a GoPro...you really do get what you pay for.

maybe I was unlucky, there are plenty of reviews on youtube for these cheap cameras and some people do say they are ok, I just thought they were a waste of money.

I've been using this one for about two months now, no problems. There are variations of them around from various sellers, so shop before you buy:

I bought a decent Transcend for the front but I am tempted by one of these cheapies for the rear.
