Wireless Back Up Camera for Use Behind a Trailer
Question:
Im searching for a wireless backup camera to used to detect objects behind the trailer when backing up. It needs a monitor in the cab, and can be wired into the 12 volt power supply on the running lights of the trailer. The screen should be 5inch or more, color and usable with light from the rear white lights.

The best back up camera I could recommend for use at the rear of a trailer would be the Swift Hitch Portable Water Resistant Wireless Camera # SH01-C. This wireless camera would work great and wouldn't require you to tap into the trailer wiring for installation. Check out the install video I attached for more info.
This monitor doesn't have a 5 inch screen but you can hook it up to a larger screen if needed with the included video cable.
