Default Backup Camera orientation

To those of you who have backup cameras and used LOCKPICK to hook them up to you get a mirrored image or I should say opposite of what the actual backup mirror shows and if so how do you change it on a RER Nav radio?

When you look in your rearview mirror, do you see the exact same thing in the radio or are things on opposite sides, etc.

It's the exact thing you see in the rearview except the rear view is mirrored. The same thing as looking straight out the back of the truck. Man that's confusing.

Plain and simple. You look in your rear view mirror and you see a tree on the right side of the mirror. You look on the screen and you see the same tree on the right side. It is the same view as it you looked in your rear view mirror.

Okay yes my rear view is the same but the front camera is opposite.What confused me is I didn't take the pictures and I was led to believe it was different. Unforunately I thought that the cameras just see what you see like a regular camera lense. Some have a jumper to switch for use in the front gonna have to get one. Well for now the back is good. I lost the pics, deleted by mistake but have a video but no room to post it here. Its off my phone but it is okay, but in real life the picture is good even at night not worth the 80 bucks more for a ccd, they show some comparisons. It is a pickup and I can see everything fine so I can deal with the cheapo cmos unless of course I find a good deal on a few ccd's anyone know of a place to buy them.

Screw it those cost me 50 total for the two including a drill bit and the wiring. I just bought two CCD camera's 94 bucks each. They are reversible so they can go on the front or the rear.We shall see, I wanted it mainly for the front but the back will be good too. Better be clearer.
Sounds stupid but when parking in Handicapped spots instead of putting pole into the ground seems they cement them up top well I have a hard time judging the front distance for some reason and just want to nail one of those things.
