Dadu,
You can check out any of the shops on JC Road in Bangalore, presuming that you are in Bangalore.
Two years back I enquired for an after-market fitment of a rear view camera and a 5" LCD screen mounted on the dash for my bolero, the camera cost quoted was 300 bucks for a b/w one and 850 for color, couple them with about 4k for the LCD and you have a reasonable rear view. Do not know the performance in low light though.
I am buying a Safari too, sometime next week would be the delivery hopefully. So, would be needing the thing myself, let me look around and if found anything suitable, will update this space. Any input about an infra-red camera for night would be helpful.
Regarding the two way mirror fitted onto the rear windscreen, that is pretty helpful too, at least to the driver behind, he can see the road ahead through that mirror somewhat and may prove useful in case of sudden braking, especially for high vehicles which generally obstruct the view ahead for someone driving a vehicle sitting lower and hence avoiding collisions from rear; again, night scenario is not tested.
Regards.
