Default reverse camera questions

Hey guys,

I'm going to adding a reverse cam in my 3rd brake light but i was wondering if anyone has gone with a b/w cam instead of color cams. I hear that they are better at night. any comments or suggestions concering these?

thanks,

`s

B&W does work better in low light , but watch out when you hit the brake lights you might get the Paris Hilton effect .

Thanks Dee Gee.
My photo cam picksup good detail. The rearview is pretty clear.
Just one more thing Scott, get the one that has the metal housing. The ones with the plastic housings don't hold up to vibrations too well.
