Hi All;
I am considering my options for a backup camera on my 2003 F350 (+ Hawk 4Wheel camper and hitch mounted cargo box). I would like something that would work both with or without the camper/hitch box and even with the tailgate installed.
I read a recent thread started by Cpt Daveport here: https://www.wanderth...ing-backup-cam/ but this appears to be mainly aimed at replacing a tailgate camera on an OEM system. In my case my, '03 truck is too old to have an oem backup camera.
I am considering a rechargeable wifi camera and using my existing iPhone and/or iPad. I really like this 100% wireless concept, but unfortunately it seems the only options are non-namebrand made in China cameras of questionalbe quality. I would really appreciate any feedback or advice regarding the use of these wifi cameras. Thanks!
Here is an example of the type of camera I am considering (it has an internal rechargable battery, built in WiFi transmitter and magnetic attachment):
9 Automatic Infra-Red Night Vision Lights = 30ft. of vision in the darkest night, which doesn't need any ambient light.
- No Wiring, Plug & Play system is ready to use in under one minute. Setup includes just two steps; mounting the camera magnetically to any metal surface and connecting it to a mobile device via WiFi.
