I tried attaching links but am to dumb to get them to work.
I got the idea and what parts to use from a thread buried somewhere in these forums. All are available on Amazon. Here's what you needed.
1. WishRing Wifi Car Backup Camera Realtime Video Transmitter for iPhone HTC Android 903W $37.99
2. Esky EC170-08 Waterproof Night Vision HD CMOS 170°Viewing Field Car Rear View Backup Camera $26.99
3. Electop 10 Pack Audio Video RCA Female to Female Coupler Adapter Gold (only needed 1) $5.99
I patched into some 12vDC and connected a switch to the transmitter. Before traveling I flip the switch on. The Wifi transmitter can be monitored on any smart phone by using the WIFIAV app. Open the app, select the WIFI signal, change the name to make it unique, and poof... the picture shows up on your phone, or tablet, or computer, or whatever you used. I use an old 6 inch tablet.
Although the connection and picture was ok, I saw occasional interference... so I moved the transmitter closer to the cab, I needed:
4. HitCar RCA DC Power Audio Video AV Extension Cable for CCTV Security, Car Tuck Bus Trailer Reverse Parking Camera (10 Meters) $10.95
5. Electop 10 Pack Audio Video RCA Female to Female Coupler Adapter Gold (only needed 1) $5.99
6.Shintop 100pcs Adhesive Cable Clips Cable Drop Clamp for Car, Home, Office (Black) $8.99
2 Lessons Learned.
First, if you install the camera the way the mounting bracket wants you to the picture is upside down. Use an allen wrench and turn the bracket over. I put mine high on the back of my Montana.
Second, the camera does have those green yellow and red back up lines. I just ignore them because I don't know just how accurate they'd be for a fiver. I imagine there's a camera out there without the lines but never looked.
Hope this helps.
