Hopkins Rear View Camera with Backup Sensors - 2-1/2" LCD
Works great, especially for hooking up my trailer. Was a easy install, good instructions. The only thing I needed extra was zip ties for attaching the cable to the frame. Installed it on a 2000 Ford, F-150 Harley Davidson edition.
I just recently purchased and installed the hopkins camera HM60195VA and say I love it. It's an easy install for my dodge challenger and helps out beyond words when backing up. The install only took about an hour and if your not really looking you can't tell there is a camera there. The wiring was simple and plenty long enough and the monitor looks like it belongs there. I highly recommend this set up.

Hopkins Trailblazer Electronic Deer Alert
So far all is good with this deer alert. Installed on my SUV vehicle and I cannot hear it while driving and tunes are playing. (I installed LED indicator light so that I know the alert is on). I have used a competitor's deer alert on my motorcycles (2002 on, after hitting deer and the last 6 years on my Mazda MX-5) after hitting a deer on my brand new motorcycle in 2002. I have found that the alert is very effective after meeting up with many deer/elk/moose in my travels over the last two decades.. Things, I like about the Hopkins Trailblazer Deer Alert vs. competitor's alert: Louder- "Chirpy noise" that I think will be even more effective in alerting animals./ Easily installed behind grill ( at least in my SUV) / Appears to be weather proof so no worries about carwashes / Approx. 25% of the cost of competitor's alert. Tip: I purchased a wireless switch else where and wired into circuit to activate the Alert saving me much time on installation as there was no need to run wires into the cabin for switch as per instructions. Highly recommend as this was a $10 addition. Giving this alert a 4 of 5 rating, only because it is new (one week after installation) and I have yet to encounter any deer/moose/elk in my travels. I will update on my experiences as I do put faith in these devices - perhaps no "bullet-proof", but certainly effective.
I rounded a curve in the road to find a deer froze in the left lane looking for where the sound was coming from. As I approved it back of the road like a scolded dog its back to me trying not to be seen. Based on that experience I think it works!

Hopkins Backup Sensor System - Audible Alert - License Bracket Mount
I really like the audible alert license bracket mount. Good price and works great. Easy to install.
Installed on 2015 Kia Sorento. My particular installation was simple . I new it would be , that is why I chose this product. My backup lights are located on the back door hatch. Removed three small opening covers and exposed the opening to the light wiring and gained access to " fish wire and connector through, without removing paneling. Connections were literally a "snap". All was achieved within the back door panel. The unit seems to work fine but is lacking corner activation, which is to be expected with only two sensors. My particular application will not sense a small dog even when sensors are pitched lowest possible.( high licence plate). Had to disconnect and reconnect connector with white alignment dots numerous times before unit worked properly. Overall, I would say it functions very well . It is very adequate for my needs and at a reasonable price. I Couldn't give it 5 stars because of the connector problem. How it does in the future. only time will tell .
