Wireless back up camera?

Hi, Does anyone have an affordable wireless rearview camera set up that they like?

I installed a Haloview MC7109R on the back of my AFrame. Works like a charm.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I went with a Hopkins 50050.

As with everything, there's pros and cons to the setup. For me, the pros are it generates its own wifi signal. And the 'monitor' is my cell phone, so no sprouting yet 'another' screen in the cab of the truck. I've also got a newer phone so it figures out the wireless network doesn't have Internet and flips back to LTE for connectivity there.

Cons are that the monitor is my cell phone (small-ish display) and I had to do some home-brew to adapt it to run off the Furrion camera 'bubble' on the back of my rig.

Still, it's useful enough that it helps when backing in to a site. It's also proven to be kind of handy while on the road - I can see if someone's tight in behind me.

I bought this from Amazon AUTO-VOX Solar Wireless Backup Camera, 5 Mins DIY Installation, 5 Inch HD Monitor with Digital Wireless Signal and HD Image

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is great. The camera is the license plate holder on the back of the trailer but it is solar and only needs a few minutes to charge. It "connects" to the screen on the dash and has several settings for changing. It plugs into the cigarette lighter and is easy to operate. I actually saw this camera on YouTube first. I replaced the other camera I had which was magnetic and would go on the bumper when we arrived somewhere. It had to be charged for each trip. Drove me a little nuts, especially if it wasn't charged enough and/or the camera and monitor wouldn't connect.

Good travels.
