Location: Tracy, CA | Was wondering how many of you use a rear view camera for backing or seeing what is in back of you and on the sides in traffic. I'm thinking of getting one but would like to hear some commits from some of you that use one. Thanks |

Location: Oklahoma | I have 3 cameras hardwired on my rig, 1 for inside trailer, 1 backup and 1 for hooking up. The inside camera is the most valuable one for me as I can keep an eye on the horses at all times. 2nd is the hookup camera as it saves mays steps and re-ajusting truck position while hooking by myself.
3rd is the back up as I use it to see if anything is back there but it is very hard to judge distances, I set the main screen at 10', and glance at it while backing up just to see if area behind trailer is still clear, Works also to see if any one is tail gateing (out of mirror view) while moving. Never used the side cameras so have no usefull info on these.
Hope this helps

Location: Tracy, CA | Paul, I'm thinking of buying the Rearview STM5600D model. It has a rear stop line that can be calibrated.They run at $600. I did some research on them and it seems they are the best bang for the bucks. Alot of the other ones are $1000 plus. |

Thanks...I just perused their website...looks like a possibility...I like the three camera input, because it allows me to set up something similar to what delta was talking about... http://www.rearviewsystems.com/ys5600.html

Location: Tennessee | I am using the Pioneer ND-BC2 cameras, one on the truck and the other on the back of the trailer. I already had the Alpine IVA-W505 in the dash that has a built in video. The cameras can be bought on ebay for about 163.00 ea. What ever you do hard wire it, the wireless cameras have poor resolution. |

| Sorry to hear that. Resolution is too low in the Rear View Cameras is very pleasant thing, even if you monitor the quality of small, high resolution and can not get the images to your satisfaction. However, it does not matter, and now the market price on Rear View Cameras are not expensive when you buy more than the 163.00 absolute lower.I accidentally had a patronizing online store from China, maybe you will like.http://www.espow.com/wholesale-car-electronics-car-review-systems-rear-view-cameras.html |

| How to Use Automobile CamerasVehicle cameras are used for:Ads by GoogleCC Camera Installation We Only Provide Installation. You Will Save Big. Call Us for Pricing. www.mrtvmount.comWireless Surveillance DIY wireless surveillance. No monthly service fee. See it now! Logitech.comBackup safety: checking that there are no children or pets behind the car when reversing. This needs a wide-angle rear view mirror camera. RV and truck rear-view: acting as a rear-view mirror when the vehicle is on the road. A camera that is too wide makes it difficult to judge distances: whether the car behind is too close for safety, whether there is enough space to safely cut back in from the overtaking lane. Trailer hitching: positioning the vehicle to hitch up a trailer. The camera is only used occasionally. It can therefore be battery-powered (no installation required) and temporarily stuck on to the vehicle or bumper with a magnetized base. The camera is removed after use, keeping it safe from thieves. Parking: judging distances to walls, drains and other obstacles. As with rear-view use, a camera that is too wide makes it difficult to judge distances. |
