desertcart.com: EWAY Strong Magnetic Wireless Backup Camera for
iPhone Android, WiFi Hitch Camera Rechargeable Battery for Hitch
Gooseneck Travel Boat Horse Trailer Truck Camper RV Front Rear
View Reverse Back up : Electronics
Review: No-lag performance. Great for steep boat ramps & backing
up low trailers. - Reason I bought: I’m a trailer towing veteran
who is tired of looking like a rookie when backing up a single
place waverunner trailer. I needed a higher camera angle.
Solution: Attach this on cab roof for a better viewing angle when
backing. Conceal out of view inside the truck when done. Magnet
is strong, but this will be powered off and kept inside truck
when actually towing down the road. Setup/function: Camera is
charged with a Usb-C cable (included). My phone is running
Android ver. 10.0. I downloaded/installed the “RV Camera” app. as
instructed. Instructions as accurate and concise. Camera was
powered on. From phone WiFi settings, it found the camera’s wifi
signal, so I switched to it. Back to app screen, the camera SSID
appeared, I clicked on it, then clicked on a “Confirm” message
below it, and was then brought to the live camera view. From the
live view screen bottom menu, you can flip orientation of video
all around if needed, take camera view screenshots, and turn
on/off the guidelines. I keep them off. If they are adjustable, I
do not know how. Video I posted is of camera in use. The green
trees/grass seen on video look quite red and that is only due to
the phone screen recorder app I used. Otherwise, actual colors I
saw on my phone screen were fine. No video lag when mounted on
truck. I also included a clip of me walking around while holding
the camera aimed at my cell phone with the live view active to
demonstrate zero lag in the video transmission. Video quality is
excellent. I’m very happy with this camera. Using this on a 2019
Ford Ranger, 4 door, with a tonneau cover. Even with cover
retracted, tailgate down, and looking over my shoulder, I can
barely see the end of my single place waverunner trailer (empty).
Skinny trailer means I can’t see it in side mirrors until it is
too crooked to easily correct. I transitioned from old-school,
looking over shoulder backing to using the trucks factory
tailgate mounted back up camera, but that sits so low, I can’t
effectively see when the back of the trailer begins to go the
wrong way. Add to the mix some very steep and narrow ramps, the
trailer drops out of view quickly and there isn’t a lot of
turning correction you can make before grazing the dock. This
camera will finally solve all my trailer backing issues.
Review: Strong magnet and easy to use - I use this camera often
to hook up trailers to my pickup. I also use it on my motorcycle
hitch carrier to aid in backing up. Additionally the app allows
for still images to be taken, in the event of an aggressive
driver or tailgater. There does seem to be about a half second
delay in the video feed, so use caution when backing. This is a
great tool to aid in safe driving and backing, but when in doubt
G.O.A.L (Get out and look). The magnet is strong and I have not
had any trouble with it falling off of my vehicle, even while
driving. The image quality is fair and the price of the camera
makes it a great option. The battery life is also good, with my
first test being one hour, without any problems or unexpected
shutdowns.
