What brand and model did you get at WM. I've read reviews on these things and some aren't rated very high. Since you're happy with yours

I WANT ONE!

There was a story about a local man who had a wireless backup cam, and he was accidently catching signals from home security systems. He actually called the police to make sure he wasn't doing anything illegal.

My Pioneer Portable Nav with Backup Capability (This is my cheap 20$ camera and night vision on it)


mine was actually a 20$ camera from ebay since i have a portable navigation that has backup camera capability..and ya ive hooked the power for the camera to the reverse lights so its only powered then, and then sends signals to my monitor

here is a link for it at amazon. I checked and the WM site and it isn't there anymore

I really do like it. I can also pick up neighborhood security cameras, some that are in stores, and from RV's sometimes driving down the road. I got mine for what Billy mentioned. one man trailer hookups. When I have the ball hitch in, I can see the ball in the bottom of my screen. Just back it up and put it under the trailer first attempt. I have another one I want to put in my van but i am going to have to take the back panel off to hook it up the way I want. Just haven't taken the time to do it YET.
