It's cheap Chinese shit, but for the price, why not give it a shot?
I have a dash camera, probably made in the same factory. It's functional. Not great, but it does what I need it to do. I paid $35 USD for it, shipped from Hong Kong. The power cord didn't fit in the hole because it was assembled poorly, so I have it powered by a USB cable... good enough, I guess.

would have to be drilled in well and not look like a gopro
If you want something like a dash cam, mount it inside the car and go the GoPro route, although like I said, it is pricey.
If you want something to just let you know how close you are or aren't from a curb or an obstacle behind you, then the cheap eBay piece should work just fine.

You could always get a pair of the cheap cameras I have (they're all over Ebay) and mount one facing in either direction. They record a wide shot, so you'll get most of what's visible. Night vision is very limited, but it does have some night vision capabilities. The cameras are cheap, but you'll need a large SD card to hold the data. That makes them a bit more expensive (I got a 32gb SD card for mine... records about 30 hours before it copies over itself.) Wire them to a constant power source, and they'll be recording steadily. Just be sure they don't drain your car battery in the period the car is off!

I have four of those.. They are okay.. I bought them on amazon for a little cheaper....The picture quality is enough for a dash cam..
The main issue is that they have lines to judge distance, and they are reverse image..
This is the video from one of mine
