Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System
This backup camera is excellent quality and super easy to install. The pre-wired plug made it simple to install to the existing trailer harness. Routing the cable was easy following existing framework and cables. I had plenty of wire to be able to mount the display in the center of the dashboard. The image quality is amazing.
I bought this back up camera for my 2005 Chevy Tahoe for the sole purpose of hitching up to my trailer. It has met all my expectations beginning with ease of installation. Best of all, in hitch mode, the hitch ball and trailer coupler are displayed. No more getting in and out or banging into the coupler. Just back up until the ball is directly under the coupler. Get out once and hook it up. It's great when a product delivers!

Swift Hitch Wireless Hitch Alignment Camera and Monitor - Night Vision - 4-Hour Camera Battery
This was a pretty good back up camera. The magnetic base was helpful in keeping it in place. The screen was fairly clear but occasionally had some interference which caused lines across the screen. Sadly it was stolen recently.
The product works great but Im a trucker and when I bought it it was to put behind my trailer to see when backing up, but on the product description it said it can be 100's of feet and still have a signal but that is not the case.

Swift Hitch Digital Wireless Hitch Alignment Camera and Monitor - Night Vision - 8-Hr Camera Battery
I often have to hitch my 30 foot gooseneck trailer alone and the Swift Hitch is an awesome tool. It's quick and easy to do a once aggravating chore.
The signal from the camera drops off when the receiver is more than 3-5 feet from the camera. Will be returning it.

Rear View Safety Wireless Hitch Camera
The camera worked perfectly the first time. I used it but two days later, nothing. The battery was dead. Next time, same thing. I made sure it was powered off and I even removed battery. Reinstalled battery, powered on and only got still shot of myself. Placed it on tailgate and nothing at all. By the instructions I have done everything correctly. Not working for me at all.
Other than a factory install this is the best option for a cargo camera. The only hitch was that the magnetic mount does not stick to the new Ford aluminum bodies. I mounted a steel plate to the bed cover and once it is folded up place the camera on it. I have a 5th wheel hitch and it is in a perfect position for hitching the trailer.

Swift Hitch Digital Wireless Hitch Aligner System w Monitor, 2 Camera - Night Vision - 10-Hr Battery
Reception range is better than stated. We have an extended cab F350, pulling a 3-horse, slant-load gooseneck. We did not need to use the coax cable for the rear camera, the signal / reception at the monitor in the cab was just fine from the camera's antenna. Connection times between the display and the cameras are reasonable. The display is a bit dim in daylight but viewing from the cab is ok. Battery life appears to be good. Initial setup was quite simple, really nothing had to be done except turn on the cammeras and the monitor, and everything linked up automatically. All in all, a good system.
The first unit I received was defective (screen was too dark to be useful) but was replaced without any problems by etrailer. Great and helpful customer service, impressive!

Swift Hitch Wi-Fi Camera for Smartphone or Tablet - Wireless - Night Vision - 5-Hour Battery
Almost perfect. Seems robust, feels solid. I had to use one of the adhesive disks intended to enable magnetic phone mount to use magnetic camera base on aluminum tailgate of 2024 Silverado truck, so could use a third disk and a rubber gasket to accommodate that disk but otherwise a great hitch aid as well as a security camera in campsite to check on that disturbing noise you hesitate to investigate in person. Allows recording vis/ir video & audio to phone or tablet. Good resolution but not 4K.
Camera worked well for hooking the gooseneck onto the truck. I also like that it can be moved to the back of the trailer so I can see what is behind it when backing up.
