Backup/Observation Cameras

Rear view safety.

I have a Tadi Brothers color wireless system that is advertised as good to 70' on my 40' 5th-wheel and when in high RF interference areas (like large cities and thus high traffic areas) the screen will scramble and is of no use. I had a wired system on my last 5er (39') and it was clear as day all the time. I installed both systems and if I had to do it over again I would go wired over wireless.

I was actually thinking the exact same thing.. I'm a bit of a techie and although there are certain times for 'wireless' there are better times for old-school. Seems more and more I hear that the wired camera is best for the back of the RV. There may be some people posting that their wireless system works "most of the time" but without knowing what that means.. Well..

I'm shopping for WIRED and will put up with the terrible issue of having to plug in one extra wire when hooking up. ;)

Rear View Safety X2

What I have been using for the last 3 years without fail.

Rear View Safety wired system.

My ideal would be to have two cameras on the back; one for the highway and a wide angle for backing. The wide angle I have, coupled with a smallish 4" screen is that anything beyond 20 feet or so is so tiny it's almost invisible, then BOOM, they're right behind you.

Heartland models like our Bighorn come with mount and power installed for this one. It is reported as working very well. Chris

The backup one is 100 bucks less.

I use a Uniden wireless home security. Two cameras with night vision and sound. One at the rear underneath, and the other up front underneath looking at my tires. The small monitor has an internal battery also. I can switch back between views but mostly keep it on my tires. I have a third camera(can use four) but haven't found a use for it yet. Otherwise its a spare. I do get some interference here and there. Mostly no issues.

Our Montana came with the Furrion backup camera standard and I did not like it because it would lose signal every few seconds an then reconnect. They also had it wired to a constant power source so it burned out after about 6 months. I talked with Furrion and they recommended the observation camera shown in this link. I paid the $100 difference, sent back the backup camera and this camera has been flawless for 6 months now. I changed the power source to the marker lights so it does not run all the time. If I need the camera I run my lights and that is most of the time anyway. Works very well night or day and has never lost signal or even flickered since I installed it.

I also recommend rear view safety. Reliable systems and good tech support.
