I needed to bring my dad’s 2006 Toyota 4Runner into the 2019 so I opted to add a Sony XAVAX1000 CarPlay enabled head unit, steering wheel control adapter, and this NATIKA IP69K. This set up works amazingly well. Let me explain my experience with back up cameras and tell you about this one.
My family’s first back up camera came with our 2012 Odyssey. I was impressed with the clarity and the overall performance of it. Our other back up camera is in a Lexus LS460, and that one was just nuts with how clear it can be. It was like a real camera was used. From there I have had several rentals and loaner cars and even though they were newer cars the quality was so bad. The video quality looked like watching something recorded from the 80’s. I am not sure if it was a camera issue, screen issue or something else but they were quite bad overall. Fast forward to now and I wanted to get my dad a quality camera so it would actually help him.
I picked this based on the reviews particularly about the build quality. I liked that it had multiple colors of housing, I also liked how they included different padding to adjust the angle. One thing I debated was buying this model or doing one of the cameras built into the light models. After looking for a while I decided this model was so small and so pleasing to see (meaning you don’t even notice it) that I skipped the two in one unit.
I took the items to BestBuy to be installed. The first thing I did was ask the installer to look at the camera and test it out. He told me it worked great, and he was really impressed with the build quality. He said the grade of cables used, how they fed in and out of the camera, and the all the packing, extra parts and instructions were very top notch. He said sometimes he gets cameras where it is just the camera and instructions in Chinese, and this was not how NATIKA did theirs. I am not sure what setting he used for it. I think online it says it has multiple ones. I asked him for the most basic/normal view for my dad with grid lines. That is exactly what I got
Overall, the camera is awesome. It is so clear in combination with the Sony head unit I bought. I recommend this to anyone who needs a backup camera for their car. You don’t have to get one of those ugly huge ones that bolt on to the license plate. This one is quite incognito and looks OEM.
Are there cheaper camera out there? Maybe. However this one is pretty affordable and has delivered for me and countless other people.

Simple and Clean Install
I installed this unit on my 2006 Chevrolet Corvette. The sixth generation Corvette did not offer a rear view camera so when I upgraded my stereo unit I took advantage of the opportunity to install a camera.The install is rather straightforward with the most time determining where I wanted to mount the camera and which was the reverse power wire that creates the video feed. I drilled out an existing OEM rivet that was near the center of the rear as the optimum place to mount the camera. The supplied flange nut, when tightened, serves the same purpose of the previous rivet. That spot gave it a straight from factory look.The image produced is simple, clean and serves the purpose. I cut the purple wire that creates the guidelines as my current stereo provides those lines for me. If you want a clean, OEM type look, this camera will do that.

Solid performance so far, though mine was a challenging install. I installed as a lip mount on the chrome molding on my trunk. What I thought was a solid placement ended up being a problem as the nut (and possibly the threaded mounting post) from the kit was bumping up against the trunk due to the portion of the trunk underneath the chrome molding being angled (think of it being a triangular shape underneath the molding rather than a square-like shape). The molding wouldn't sit flush with where the camera was placed. I basically ended up lengthening the hole using the drill bit as a workaround dremel (didn't want to have to go dig it out). I ended up with an oblong hole that ultimately was functional but created some headaches trying to get things fitted. Thankfully, despite my vehicle being a 2007 Toyota Yaris, the chrome trunk molding had a little outline for where a factory camera might be placed, offering a sense of the angle that the camera should ideally be at when installed to the side of the license plate. I double checked our Subaru's camera and it also has a slight angle pointing the camera toward the center of the vehicle. That said, having to move the camera away from the trunk resulted in a camera that is basically flush and perhaps just slightly protruding beyond the edge of the chrome molding instead of being more recessed under the lip, which would be ideal.
The challenges I had were more an issue with the vehicle, but potential improvements to the product that would've helped would be:
1) Having the threaded mounting post be more centered from front to back on the base of the camera. Trunk moldings/trim vary and I assume there is some reason for the design, but if the post were centered on the base of the camera, it's likely that the efforts to move the hole would have been less of an issue. The chrome molding has a horizontal lip underneath, which then angles slight up as a subtle beveled edge (see pics). Having to move the camera away from the vehicle meant that instead of having the front of the camera be mostly in line with the beginning of that beveled edge, the front of the camera ended up significantly overhanging that edge. I ended up using one of the wedges to basically fill that space at the front rather than using it to angle the camera. It's not a perfect solution, but it should be workable overall.
2) Shorter threaded post. This would help with more shallow install locations like mine.
3) Flatter nut. Possibly narrower as well. Basically whatever might help minimize the space taken up by the hardware on the back/underside of the camera.
Things I like?
As advertised, the smaller non-RCA neck on the camera cable means I was able to use one of the original holes in the trunk as the pass thru. It was a hole used for a retaining clip on the molding. Based on the number of bolts and two other retaining clips in the molding, I decided the clip in question was optional (it was also removable from the molding, making things easier). In sum, I didn't have to drill through the metal of the trunk to get the camera cable wired and attached throughout the trunk lid.
The image is very good in low light (see pics), especially compared to the stock 2017 Subaru Forester backup camera. The low light performance is great to have as the primary reason for the camera is due to the tint we have on the vehicle. When in reverse I've found the tint is problematic when looking over the shoulder or in the mirror out the back of the vehicle. The reverse lights just don't provide enough illumination to help when looking through the tint in reverse when it's dark out. The trade off with this camera is the pronounced fish-eye effect. The Subaru camera looks basically representational of what you see with the naked eye while this one has the extra curvature to the image around the edges.
All in all, a very useful and workable product. I'm not sure I'll install one again on my own given the amount of time it took to troubleshoot everything and get things lined up. I might just pay the local big box chain to do it if I get another CarPlay receiver installed in our other vehicle that doesn't have a backup camera. That said, given the learning experience with this install, it might make things more feasible with the next one.
