I've had video cameras for 18 years, and have worked with both CCD and CMOS, and they both work fine. I would not see any reason to believe this guys claims that his CCD cams are better, I would rather hear it from an unbiased source, but I personally don't believe that his CCD cams are worth more than twice the price of the CMOS cams. CCD is older technology, and most of what you see in video cams, digital cams, phone cams, etc. is CMOS technology. It works just as well and uses less energy.

Interestingly, the videos that he has on his site give you an idea of what you will see with a bumper mounted camera, if it stays clean. You see what is directly behind you and not much else. With a roof mounted cam you could see up and over that vehicle and have a better view farther behind your vehicle.

That monitor looks similar enough for me to guess that it's the same product with different branding.
