Default Cheap backup cameras

Has any one had any luck from any of the cheap backup cameras on amazon? The ones that are between $15-30? I just want a cheap backup camera that has a decent picture and lens angle. The reviews are all over the place on them, so I'd like to hear if you guys have had any luck with them. I also want to get a camera for the front end like the raptor has and run it to my aux video input on my head unit. Obviously I'm not looking for amazing quality stuff here, just something that will work and is functional.

They work untill you get water in them then you can't see anything. If you try one then silicone all the "joints" first.

So if I try to seal it and jut be careful washing I should be okay? The front one should be pretty protected in the grille, I'm just worried about the rear one in the bumper getting wet and muddy
