Back up camera recommendations?

Looking to add a backup camera to my Arctic fox. Anybody know a good one? Wireless
  • Does your current truck have a back up camera in the tailgate.

    can you post a link to the one you have?

    I was thinking about buying a second factory ford back up cam and just plugging it in when I unplug the one and take my tail gate off, just trying to figure out how to mount it properly.
  • I used a commercial camera from Camera Source and a cable that plugs into the receptacle for my tailgate camera. I installed 2 rivnuts in the aluminum bumper of my Arctic Fox and fastened the camera to the bumper.
