Back-up camera

This is slick, does anyone have it?
It is the same camera, it looks like, as I have.
I saw one with 2 cameras also.

My only concern would be wireless range. I have purchased 2 PTZ cameras from them at 2 different times and while they look the same the software that came with them was different. The second PTZ doesn't have the wireless range the first one has. I will say, I've had zero problems with the Company and for under $100 it's hard to go wrong for a mobile back up camera. As for made in China, a lot of American branded merchandise is made in China now days. If it would reach this would be the ideal inexpensive setup for using the monitor inside the Monty when stationary like we do for 3 months at a time and hook up to our Garmin 760 Dezl when traveling down the road.

Range has been my issue for not putting something like this on. I have to use a booster just to get my TST system up to the dashboard.

Yea, the wireless WAS bad, maybe the new ones are OK, I remember reading some posts that the wireless are doing fine. My camera is wired, so If I was to buy one, it would probably be wired. I like the mirror screen, the screen I have is down on the floor and sometimes hard to see... but it is old and the picture is faded.. or maybe the camera is dim??

Ozz try this http://www.tadibrothers.com
These people have 100s of different systems. I bought one the camera looked like the one you found. It didn't have enough range to work reliably. I called the company told them the problem. The lady I talked to said she would send me a new long range transmitter and receiver. I said let me get my credit card and she said you wont need that it's free. The new one works better but still needs some improvement. If I were to buy another I would get the high res camera. My system, I think was about $225.

This is my system. $325.00. Hard wired but easy install. Bought it online and it's a great system! http://s1226.photobucket.com/user/Artemus7575/library/Back-up%20Camera%20Installation?sort=3&page=1

Just added photos of monitor mounted in cup holder area of new F450. Took time to get these posted! Just removed cups and attached monitor to stand supplied. Stuck it in cup holder area. It works great. I do have a felt cover I place on monitor to protect from sunlight!

. Oz. I had it moved to new Ford F450. I simply removed two of four cup holders and camera sits on the stand it comes with, perfectly in that space! I can hitch without help and back up like a pro! Thanks

Wow, just another reason I like you folks. I've been wondering how to hard wire a camera back there and never gave it a thought to mount the camera to the ladder and run the wires down it. You people sure are smarter than me.

Our cam from Rv cams has been on both of our Montana's the 06 and now the 13. It is a hard wired unit mounted on the ladder. The wire runs down the ladder under the camper and gorilla taped to the underbelly up through the pin box and we keep the extra line coiled in the pin box when not in use.Has worke fine on both Montana's for the last 7 years.
