    Boat Trailer Wireless Backup Camera

    Anyone use a wireless backup camera that goes to an iphone? I have a tricky S-turn driveway and a camera would really help at night. I just want to put it on the back of the boat, motor, or trailer when backing in and then take it off. It doesn't need to be permanent but that would be nice too. Any ideas? I'm getting old and my neck doesn't turn like it did in the old days.

    What about a baby monitor/camera ? No idea what the cost difference is though.

    I pull up my home cameras on my phone to make a 90 degree turn that I just can't see in my mirrors because of the incline of my driveway.

    when I needed one a couple of years ago I used a Garmin 760 with a waterproof wireless camera powered by the backup lights, was a sweet set up. Don't need it anymore, maybe I'll put in on the electronics board for sale

    I use this as a nose camera on my Tundra. It works fantastic, not sure why it wouldn't work on a trailer?

    This one has it’s own small handheld video display. I’ve used one for a couple of years and it’s worked well. The camera has a magnetic mount.

    Pappy1, I think you forgot to add the link. Which one are you talking about? I'm interested. The others mentioned here look good too. Thanks Don

    I use a Go Pro as a backup camera on my truck and enclosed trailer. Suction cup mount. It shows the camera via WiFi on my phone. Works good but at night if your backup lights suck nothings gonna be real great

    Holy cow! I never thought about this. I’ll have to try. Only problem is I usually run the GP battery dead while on water.
