Here are a couple aftermarket solutions

There are two current threads in the parts and mods area on the topic of backup cameras.

When choosing, look for cameras that provide Night Vision because without them this solution is absolutely useless in the dark.

Yes, read my thread about the back-up camera and my preferred option is still the best. Never bought from that company because they don't take credit cards or paypal and as based in China. For just a single camera it works out too expensive to do a bank transfer from the UK.
