Backup camera systems

[Gerry R]

I did a thread search but couldn't find anything. I am thinking about a two camera setup for my hitch and the rear of our bumper pull toy hauler with a switchable screen so I can switch camera inputs. A year or so back when I looked the wireless systems seem to have had reception limits the wired ones didn't have. Any of you that have one type or other I'm interested in hearing what you have, how its working for you and what did it cost installed.

I've had both wired and wireless.

Wireless was good, was a stand-alone like a GPS, but did receive interference every so often.

The wired unit is pretty good, but the camera is cheap. It takes a few seconds to "warm up" and be functional, vision-wise.

Also, the wired one is a rear-view mirror "overlay", but has dual inputs, so running dual cameras in no issue. You'd just need to run an RCA cable the length of the towed vehicle, with enough slack to function in the hinge-point.

It's downfall was (again) a cheap camera, with a long "warm up" time. Also, the screen is a large 5" screen, but it resides behind a slightly tinted glass (mirror function) which makes it really hard to see the camera view during the day (lots-o-glare)..
