  • Horse trailer

    I installed this in my horse trailer, to be able to see my horses while I travel down the road. Other models will not get a signal to my pick up cab. This camera with its external antenna does a great job!
  • Worked right out of the box

    This app works fine with my wireless magnetic mounted backup cam. Good, solid picture.
  • Bad camera

    Don’t buy this camera is to much money for what can do it after couple weeks start having problems to connected to the camera I think the antenna is not good enough for strong signal I have a small truck and no signal after 10 feet worst camera you can paid less for a better camera.
  • It works

    The display is dim. I wish there were brightness and contrast settings.
  • Good. Could be great.

    Works ok. Magnets are strong. I’d give it 4 stars if it was a CarPlay app.
  • Easy and solid

    This thing is so well designed, if I could give it 6 stars I would. Thoughtful touches, like an on-off switch in the cigarette lighter plug for initial testing of the camera before you permanently wire it in. Software is easy and intuitive to use. I was concerned that having the phone connected to the wifi server in the unit would block cell phone data, since the phone normally prioritizes a strong wifi signal over cell data, but it knows the wifi is not internet connected and just uses the cell data for maps etc. Not sure why a reviewer complaint about having to select the wi-fi network every time you use it – both my phone and my wife’s phone automatically grab the signal when the car is turned on. I wired mine into the license plate light since I didn’t want to wait for the short wifi connection delay that would happen if I had wired it to the backup lights, and it works great. Highly recommended. 2008 Toyota Highlander
  • Lousy App

    The people who sell these cameras need to realize that the reason many folks are complaining is because of the APP not the camera.

    Sellers: get off your butts and pay someone some decent money to write the software needed to come up with a good app.

    Would be nice to be able to adjust things like brightness, color saturation, hue, contrast, etc. As it stands right now, this app is totally worthless.
  • Works Great!

    I’ve had this for several years. I put a set of rare earth magnets on the bottom of the bracket so I can use this on several vehicles. Put a set of connectors on it and a lipo battery, so it on when I hook it up to use it regardless of the vehicle running or not. For my purposes, it’s fantastic. Has been totally glitch free since purchase.
  • Cellular data has to be off in order for it to work

    I wish I could get my money back but I mounted it on already.
  • Junk

    No signal right out of the box, waste of money and time to install!! No support help, a complete piece of garbage!!
