Swift Hitch Wireless Camera System

No more guessing, no more getting in and out of the truck, with the Swift Hitch wireless camera system hooking up to your trailer has never been easier. To use, simply place the camera with its powerful magnetic base on the back of your vehicle. Then watch your hitch ball and trailer line up while you back up. And if you get confused turning the opposite way of what you see on the 2-1/2" color LCD screen, simply reverse the image to make hooking up even easier. The camera even works while hitching up at night with its infrared lights.

The Swift Hitch Wireless Camera System has many other great uses too! It works great as a backup camera on RVs, fifthwheel campers and enclosed cargo trailers. RV'ers can use it to help when adjusting the satelite reception for the tv. Construction workers, plumbers and electricians can use the small infrared camera to view into tight dark spaces. When backing your boat into the water, the camera can be placed at the end of your boat so you know when you can launch it. Mount the camera on the hood of your truck to make hooking up your snowplow a breeze. The small, lightweight, wireless camera with lights can be mounted on a pole or stick to give you endless viewing possibilities even in the dark.

Video Transcript for Swift Hitch Portable Wireless Camera System Demonstration

The Swift Hitch is a portable wireless camera system that provides a quick hitch for any trailer, camper, or snowplow. It comes with a magnetic camera which mounts to your tailgate. A simple on and off switch is located on both the camera and the hand held monitor. Once you get your Swift Hitch camera installed on the tailgate, take a moment to align your hitch ball on the view screen at the bottom towards the center. That way, it will give you maximum field of view to sneak up on the hitch ball. Once you get your camera straight and away, you can view your hitch ball backing up from the comfort of your vehicle, on the LCD screen to achieve an easy and simple hitch up every time. With the help of the camera, you can sneak up on the ball basically on the first try. Once you get pretty much cover on top of the ball, you can go ahead and start lowering your jack and get your trailer hooked up.

The 2.5 inch LCD screen provides clear color display with a 300 foot range of transmission. The night vision mode, which is controlled automatically by the camera, has a range of 15 feet.

The Swift Hitch comes with a weatherproof cover on the camera and a split adapter so you can charge both units at the same time using your cigarette lighter or 12 volt outlet.

I researched many other cameras, and this one was the best - and the price at etrailer was lower than anywhere I could find. I was nervous hitching my trailer up before, but this made it a breeze - it's pretty much idiot-proof. Word of advice - don't leave the camera attached with just the magnet. My Denali doesn't have much metal to attach this to so the area I could find on my tailgate wasn't the best to attach this camera to - it may bounce off if you travel over bumps. Shipping was fast, and arrived before estimated delivery date. ALL of my future RV and travel trailer purchases will be through etrailer - what a great experience!65688

Product was easy to set up by following instructions. Backed up to my boat trailer and aligned it with ball on first try. This will be very helpful and allow me to do this task without getting out of vehicle several times as in past. Only reason not giving it an excellent rating I just got this product and I just used it one time. If this product continues to perform I will tell all my friends about this product. 77000

I bought this for my husband so he could use it when hooking up the truck to our fifth-wheeler and we both love it! I love it because now he doesn't need me to guide him. He loves it because it works as described. The camera can be placed on any metal surface because of the magnet, and he can angle it whichever way he needs to. He can also use it when backing into camp sites. Originally he said he didn't want one, but I gave it to him for Christmas anyway. He's very happy that I did. The picture on the monitor is clear; we have not had any problems with signal strength or interference. Wireless is definitely convenient!63373

This is my second Swift Hitch. I not only use the system to hook up but also I am a sound engineer. I use the system to look under stage floors and such to discover how wiring may be done. This unit can see in the dark better than the naked eye. Great piece of gear. Well made and works. 62995

I would like to say your product is great does just what I need. The company I work for pulls campers to natural gas well sites to act as mobile offices and sleeping quarters in remote areas.I do not have the time to get out of the truck 20 times to see if I'm lined up with a trailer to hook up. The night vision is great to because alot of times it is very dark on a site where the trailers are parked and I can go in the dead of night not worrying about how to hook up in the dark. Thank you very much for this product and a great customer service staff!!!62637

Just recovering from a neck surgery with a very stiff neck. Swift Hitch portable camera system made it very easy for me to hook up horse trailer this weekend with few moves. However, my truck has blue tooth phone connection. May be this is a reason for the receiver monitor having lines, making it very difficult for me to see anything between cotton balls. I had to hold the monitor out of the window, finding a sweet spot to complete the hitching. It would be nice if charging could be done from 110V outlet. Driving around charging both bateries 2,5 hours ( as suggested ) was not fun. Over all I like this system, it helps. But a larger screen, cleaner-crisper picture and a longer depth of field would have been nicer to have.62558

I bought this because it always seemed that I was having to hook up by myself most of the time. While I hardly ever have any trouble left to right, stopping ball right under the receiver was never my strong point. This has solved that problem. I would have given 5 stars but I would like to see the magnet a bit stronger. It has not fallen off but I feel as if it's about to. Other than that I would have to say is works great. Also the Night Vision works Great!!! Lights things up like daylight when you're looking through the monitor. Comes with two pouches but I would suggest getting the optional carry case. I'm glad I did.45465

Frustration Buster The Swift Hitch Trailer Hitch Aligner Portable Wireless Camera is the BEST camping tool I've bought. This outstanding device takes the frustration out of hitching up my travel trailer. I have a Hensley Hitch which requires almost perfect alignment. This tool is the answer for this demanding task. Now I have the best Hitch, and the best method to hook to it! The AC adapter is a handy way to keep the batteries charged.4263

  • What is the Viewing Range of Swift Hitch Wireless Camera
  • The camera will pick up over 15 feet of vision in the day time. The range is dependent on light and weather conditions and how you have the camera oriented. The night-vision feature is limited to 15 feet as that is as far as the built-in infrared lights shine. I would recommend watching the videos we have on the the Swift Hitch Wireless Camera. You can see the system in action and what it is capable of. I have linked to both of the videos below.

  • Which Back Up Camera Works Best for Hitch Alignment
  • You could go with something like the Swift Hitch Trailer Hitch Aligner Portable Wireless Camera System with Night Vision # 04928 which has more maneuverability and you can point it directly at your trailer ball. The down side is that this unit uses rechargeable batteries and sticks out considering its size and color. I recommend the Master Lock Wireless Backup Camera and Hitch Alignment System # 4843DAT. It has easy set up, no wire splicing, and an adjustable camera. The camera portion conta

  • Is the Swift Hitch Wide Angle and Reverse Image

  • Can the Swift Hitch Backup Camera be Tilted straight back for Installation at the Rear of an RV
  • The Swift Hitch Portable Wireless Camera, # 04928, cannot be oriented straight out. The camera mount will not allow the camera portion to rotate to a 90 degree angle to the base. You could position the camera at a 90 degree angle to the back of the RV, if you fabricated an angled mount that would attach to the back of the RV and then attach the camera to the angled mount. I produced a short video showing the range of adjustment that the camera has. The other issue I see with this camera is that

  • Is the Swift Hitch Trailer Hitch Aligner Portable Wireless Camera System Waterproof
  • The camera in the Swift Hitch, # 04928, is weather resistant but the camera is not completely sealed so it cannot be considered waterproof. For something to be considered waterproof it would have to be able to be submerged under water for a certain amount of time and still function. For rainy weather, though, the camera will work but I do recommend that once you are done using it, place the camera where it is out of the rain. I have included a couple of videos of this system for you.

  • What is the Life Expectancy of the Battery in the Swift Hitch Wireless Backup Camera 04928
  • I checked into this with the manufacturer, and the battery in the camera portion of the # 04298 wireless backup camera system is actually replaceable. The battery is sealed inside the camera, but can be accessed. The new battery would need to be soldered into the assembly, so it is a bit more tricky to replace than the battery in the monitor but it is doable. When I asked about the lifespan of the battery, my contact at Swift Hitch said that although they have on occasion had to replace the

  • Option for Mounting a Swift Hitch Camera when the Suction Cup and Magnet Will not Work
  • There is a product that I used to attach my helmet camera to my streetbike helmet that is made by 3M that should work very well for you as long as the corrugation of your trailer is not too small. It is called Dual-Lock Fastening Strip and it basically works similar to velcro, but it has a much stronger hold and it would not vibrate at all. I wish we carried it, but if you did an internet search you should be able to track it down pretty easily.

  • Can Swift Hitch Camera # 04928 Be Used for a Gooseneck Trailer
  • The Swift Hitch Camera, part # 04928 will work with any type of trailer.

I have linked you to some product demonstration videos showing the Swift Hitch Camera in action.

I have included links to a couple of videos on this camera system for you. This system runs on a battery so it can be turned on without hardwiring it into the trailer wiring.
