Today we are going to cover part number 4843DAT from Master Lock. This is our hitch alignment and vehicle back up camera. This is a very simple system to install on your vehicle. It takes no time to install. First off we will cover the components of it. Starting back here. This is one of the mounts. This will actually mount the monitor to the windshield of your truck. It also has a neat little clip that goes into the vents on your vehicle if you want to mount it there temporarily. And this is the power supply chord and this plugs into your 12 volt power supply and plugs into the side of the camera. And on the back part, the actual camera itself is this unit right here. This actually will mount to the back of your vehicle on the trunk
And you can move the camera as you need it to put your hitch ball into view and you can back up your hitch ball to the trailer. It is powered by a 4-pole flat on your vehicle. So to power the camera on the back, all you have got to do is turn on your running lights. You plug it in, mount the camera, and you are ready to go. And then this little mount here. This actually fits onto the camera itself. What this part does is it actually guides the camera and keeps it center if you actually install it into your receiver hitch. You just push it in all the way. And then you can install your favorite hitch lock in place. And all you have got to do next is take your 4-pole flat and plug it into the wiring harness in the trailer. To start the install process is really easy. Let us go ahead with our rear camera that has a built in magnet so it sticks right to the truck.
Aim the camera right at the ball and then take your wiring harness with your adapter and just plug it into the 4-pole flat on your vehicle. Next we will go ahead and mount your monitor. You have got two different types of temporary mounting. One you have that sticks into the vent just like that and then your camera sits on top like that. We also have a windshield mount too. It is very sturdy and works really good. You can just go ahead and just put it on the inside of your windshield and push the lever down. And then you can install your camera. And really, all that remains, is go ahead and plug up the power chord. And then the power chord will go into the 12 volt power supply on your vehicle. Next we go through the functions on the camera. It actually has four different channels. And that is the control by the button on top. You push it. You will go through different channels and that is that takes care of that. The second button here on this model actually is not used at all. And then the last two buttons here , brightness and contrast. And it just cycles through until you get the combination that you like. Okay, we will go ahead and use this in typical application of backing up to a trailer. Then you can see how helpful it is to use. Turn on our running lights and our picture comes on our monitor and we just back up to our trailer. And then the adapter here has an extension for the 4-pole trailer. And just plug it right together. We have power for our lights and our trailer. Okay, and with that, that finishes our review with part number 4843DAT from Master Lock.

Very easy to install and works well. The cable for the camera is a little short but not difficult to deal with. If its not long enough, go by a short cheap extension and all is well. The video quality is not as good as the backup cameras that are hard wired but I've not had any problem with snow and have had very little static. 34519

Bargain backup system Key points: -Installed in my 2010 Tundra Crew Max in less than 5 minutes. -You need to buy a locking hitch pin if you don't have one. -Point of reference missing when unit is installed inside the hitch receiver, so it's hard to tell how much distance there is behind you to an object. However, I have had enough practice now that the point of reference isn't really affecting my ability to gauge a proper distance to a vehicle or object behind me. -The suction cup application works very well, and is also very easy to install. -The A/C vent attachment only works when you remove the antennae, which means a little more static when using this option. -The 12V cord is kinda short. -Only 1 channel seems to work. -Very clean signal with very little flicker. However using any Bluetooth equipment near it will make picture useless. With all things considered, I am very pleased with this product, and I recommend it. It is affordable, reliable, and flexible.3127

It may be a great camera for a smaller vehicle but I found that it does not work when inserted into the receiver tube of my 2012 F250.. The suction cup mount is too flimsy and difficult to mount due to its length. If you are looking for a camera for a smaller car with less transmission range then this may work for you. If you just place it on your tailgate, the magnet is not strong enough to hold it so expect it to be gone when you reach your destination. Save your money and buy a better camera, preferably one where the screen is part of the rearview mirror and the camera attaches to the license plate bracket. I'll keep the camera for grins and giggles but I will mount it in a different fashion to lessen the distance between the camera and the monitor. 48107

Easy too setup, took about 5mins (no batteries needed). Tried it out and it works fine, just what you need when hooking ball hitch up to trailer single handed. Picture quality is as good as you need. Its made of plastic, lightweight but hopefully durable, only time will tell ! Thanks etrailer. 60570

Very nice product for the price. Easy to use and I like that it magnetically attaches to the tail gate for the short periods that I need it in place. I only use it to back up to my trailer then put it away, so I have not used any of the provided methods to mount the monitor, just lay it on my lap. In the future I may come up with something to mount it as the provided devices are not good for me.60049

First of all, the package was delivered quickly and painlessly. I needed it in less than a week and I was not disappointed. The packaging had cracked during shipping (not etrailer's fault), so I called and quickly spoke to Tommy, so that if there was a problem, they would know that I received it this way. I was told that if I had any problems, to just let them know and they would take care of it. I got the system for my boyfriend, for his birthday because he goes fishing early in the morning, sometimes by himself and has to back his truck up without a second pair of "eyes." The night I gave it to him we hooked it up within a couple of minutes to "play" with it and see how it works (I think it took longer to get it out of the package than to hook it up:-)). We were so impressed with how easy it was to put together. No fuss whatsoever. We put the magnetic camera onto the tailgate, pointed it at the trailer ball and backed the truck up. On the screen, what you see is what you get. It was dark, and we could see clearly with the backup lights on. I was trying to think of one negative thing to say about this system or the company and I can't think of anything. Love it, love it, love it! Other systems that I have checked out require you to do a little bit of wiring. We would have had to possibly take it to someone to have this done (he doesn't do stuff like this), so the slightly higher price, I feel, takes care of any labor one would have to spend on having someone do it, and the ease, clarity and Master Lock name make it totally worth it.59450

I just got my Master Lock wireless backup camera and it only took 10 minutes to hook up. The first one I got and ended up taking back to the store wanted you to splice into the reverse lights of the vehicle. This one plugs right into the trailer light recepticle. It works so well that I even got my Dad one for his birthday. The display is crystal clear and the magnetic camera lets you place it anywhere you want. The only modification I'd make would be to make the camera cord connection a little longer. It's items such as this one that will be saving marrages the world round!46883

The portable remote backup camera worked just as advertised. The instructions were easy to follow and the unit worked perfectly.

I can not believe how great this works when hooking up trailers. It is so easy and fast to align the hitch with the trailer. In the monitor, it looked perfect and when I got out and walked to the back of the truck....all I had to do was let the trailer down and hook up the safety chains.36237

Super easy to install, took about 3 minutes without even reading the instructions. Product was described perfectly by etrailer.com. and received it within a few days of ordering it online. Does exactly what I needed it for on my old truck for hooking up to my trailer, plus a back up camera as well. Thank you for your excellent service. 33156

product is good and easy to install. however, i have a vehicle with navagation and bluetooth. when the bluetooth is searching it causes extreme noise (electrical intereference) making the backup camera useless. i cannot turn off bluetooth so i cannot use camera. without the bluetooth problem the unit is very good as advertised.21280

I love the camera and the portability. Had to change the plug on the camera after about a month, now after six months the mount for the screen will no longer suction to the windshield.17016
Sometimes the suction cup or the glass get dirty which prevents a good seal. Make sure the suction cup and the glass are clean.

Highly Disappointing This cameras performance overall is highly disappointing. Display on monitor very poor due to excessive interference. Interference such as hash, snow, rolling and distortions except in areas where no other signals from any other radio signal sources are in the immediate area. While driving with camera installed into hitch receiver, the display on the monitor is all but useless. Display has way to much distortion, snow and hash to be of any value in my opinion. Very disappointed. For all but an occasional usage, this product may be of a benefit. The more expensive hard wired units will cost significantly more but may be worth the cost for those whom will use the camera often. Not a product I can nor will recommend to those whom can afford a hard wired device.3027

The camera works well Setup was easy and the field of view is very very good. I did have a little flickering interference with the screen in an industrial area, but the picture is clear at home. Aiming the camera is very easy-you can back right up to hitch up without getting out of the car now. Powering the camera from the flat plug was a great idea.2866

Didn't work on my Toyota 4Runner. Picture would display for a second or two and then become scrambled for several seconds. Called support and they said the blue tooth on the vehicle interferred with the wireless picture transmission, and this is a common problem on cars with blue tooth. Had to return it.50697
The Master Lock camera operates in the 2.4GHz spectrum, the same spectrum as home Wi-Fi routers and Bluetooth. With Bluetooth enabled cars, there can be interference.

I never write reviews but this was truly a great experience. Order, ship, open, install.... that easy, and the camera is more than I expected and truly plug and play. Makes me wonder why I spent so much time researching products that needed to be installed professionally. Thanks, etrailer.25531

Master Lock Wireless Backup Camera The item is as described. It works well and is compact. I am replacing one of two other models l that were stolen. The power supply for the wireless camera on this model is what attrated me to this product. It is a great idea. No splicing in and it utilizes the existing tow plug-in. I am very satisfied with it. It is better than the PEAK and Vision stat that I previously owned. I recommed it.4133
