Both my Sprinter and my ex-Unimog have backup cameras that were bought from Supercircuits. They are not dedicated backup cameras, but are very robust and high quality.
Supercircuits has about twenty web pages of cameras of all shapes and sizes . . . go here: http://www.supercircuits.com/Security-Cameras/.

I ordered a small flush mount camera (a keyhole camera) from Ebay (a Colorado seller). It's a good little weatherproof camera for a little over a hundred bones if I remember correctly.
I drilled a 7/8" hole and placed it in the center of my AEV bumper.
I ran the wire for the included power supply between the bumper and frame cross member. I then drilled and grometed a hole into the jack storage area.
I double sided taped the power supply to the rear wall of the storage area to keep it protected and out of the way.
It gives a great quality of video on the MyGig.
Enjoy!

Good product, maybe not budget; camera has cover to keep it clean which automatically retracts:

I went the super-cheap route...
Went to Frys and got a $25 mini camera and $50 7" LCD. I started by putting next to the license plate...not enough visibility, so moved it to the roof rack. It works great for viewing everything behind you...could I see people picking their noses in the car behind me? Probably not, but I could see any bikes/kids/dogs as I was backing up...perfect for $75!
I should add...this lasted 4+ years outside 100% of the time before the camera finally gave up...not a bad investment...
