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.

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

Hooked up and worked as described (only on one channel though). This will help launch the boat since I can't see the trailer through the tonneau cover for backing into the water. Thanks.31197

Easier to work then expected Hooked it up in about 1 minute Backed up and had trailer hooked up to truck without getting out of the truck absolutely no problem Can not believe did not buy this 15 years ago My only suggestion would be to have a 5 pin adaptor pass through to allow for the brake solenoid wire22910

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

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

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

Too sensitive to interferences 60% of the time the image has interference where the picture is moving or there is some "snow".2650
