When I wanted a camera system I went rogue and purchased a "baby monitor" system use from "Summer Infant" and couldn't be more pleased. My basic reasoning is that I felt baby monitoring systems better works since if they suffered from signal loss or quality issues when used in a home environment for keeping track of an infant they would soon received a lot of negative feedback since parents would not accept substanded performance for such an important system. For RVing I have a camera mounted inside the trailer on the back window with the monitor setting on top my dog house in the Van. In the 4 years so far I have almost never lost a signal and the biggest drawback is it doesn't support a "reverse view", but that IMO is not a show stopper. The system handles multiple cameras, can be romotely aimed and zoomed and can be either powered by a wire or batteries and supports two way communications. I have a second camera that I have installed inside the trailer to keep track on things inside while traveling.
At home I move the camera in the rear of the trailer to our front window so I can see the goings on out front at our house along with a view of the front door. I still leave the camera inside the trailer so I can see that when at home too. I also use a camera mounted on a pole to check on my gutters at home periodically for debris and to ensure they are clean when I clean them from the ground.
For under $200 for the monitor and one camera and about another $75 per camera it is IMO a great dependable system.
Just something else to consider for those wanting to go "A DIFFERENT ROUTE"
