Nice Backup Camera

[MarkLeininger]

I've been looking for a backup camera, found something that's more money than the walmart cameras but has some nicer features:

Swift Hitch Trailer Hitch Aligner Portable Wireless Camera System with Night Vision 04928 : Trailer hitch bike rack and trailer hitches - etrailer.com

Since it has rechargeable batteries, there's no wiring and easy to move from vehicle to vehicle. It would also be nice because I can move the camera into the trailer to monitor the horses, even in the dark. Anyone tried one of these?

This looks pretty slick.My only concern would be if its water proof,if your loading in the rain or snow?

Nice if you need to move from place to place, but I need a bigger screen than that.

My walmart back-up camera has been working pretty well so far, but I wish someone made one with a ~4" screen under ~$200. That would make it perfect for me.

This one's a bit bigger than the walmart one for $150:

Man that looks just like mine.

It looks like the same brand as the cheap W/M camera. I put a 7 pin plug on my cheap model. That was the easiest way to wire it up. I just unplug when I plug up the trailer. The monitor plugs into the lighter and clips onto the a/c vent. In tight situations, I pull it loose from the vent and get it closer to my eyes. JC

What a good idea. If I don't get the one with a battery in it, this sounds like the way to go.
