 Hi hako, there is quiet a bit of difference in the two cameras as the spec's read,

The most important thing with cameras is the width of road they cover, I know as I bought one of these cameras of Flea Bay, what a waste of money !!

The camera you quoted ( which is the one I bought ) has only a 90 deg angle,while the Kogan Camera has a 120 deg angle, this makes a big difference to what is seen in line of vision.

The 90 degree camera is for the Rear of the caravan for long distance and the 120 degree is for the rear of your vehicle to give you a wide angle but short depth of field.

I purchased the 90 degree one as the previous wide angle did not help to pick up a vehicle coming up fast from a long way back. I have GPS TPMS and Tug's rearview coming out of my in-dash unit so clip on for rear-vision mirror is great as its always available. The unit I purchased came with a WIFI receiver but it is now hard wired due to issues with ghosting and snow, I also picked up the security camera feed of parked cars from the Lightening Ridge bowling club as I drove past minus the van. So it would be a bit scary if you were watching someone else's rear vision.

I don't care what or where one buys anything these days, there are bound to be faults in anything,

I knew of a Bloke who bought a Rolls Royce, then complained that he didn't like it because the Cigar holder was full, !!!
