Hopkins Backup Sensor System - Audible Alert - License Bracket Mount
Well! It's with great coincidence that it stop working last week. Worked fine and now has stopped! This is our second one which lasted 8 years...traded with car! I now have to remove the back of our 2022 Chevy Trax to see what's going on!
Installed on 2015 Kia Sorento. My particular installation was simple . I new it would be , that is why I chose this product. My backup lights are located on the back door hatch. Removed three small opening covers and exposed the opening to the light wiring and gained access to " fish wire and connector through, without removing paneling. Connections were literally a "snap". All was achieved within the back door panel. The unit seems to work fine but is lacking corner activation, which is to be expected with only two sensors. My particular application will not sense a small dog even when sensors are pitched lowest possible.( high licence plate). Had to disconnect and reconnect connector with white alignment dots numerous times before unit worked properly. Overall, I would say it functions very well . It is very adequate for my needs and at a reasonable price. I Couldn't give it 5 stars because of the connector problem. How it does in the future. only time will tell .

Hopkins Trailblazer Electronic Deer Alert
I rounded a curve in the road to find a deer froze in the left lane looking for where the sound was coming from. As I approved it back of the road like a scolded dog its back to me trying not to be seen. Based on that experience I think it works!
Although not yet installed, the product is much the same as the much more expensive hornet. Have had the hornet operating for seven years until the undercarriage signal module broke off. It is advantageous to mount the "module" under the hood. Thank you!

VueSMART RV and Trailer Backup Camera - Wireless - Universal Mount - 152-Degree View
Have yet to install but looks to be fairly easy. Looking forward to having the capability to view traffic to the rear of my trailer.
Didn't work as promised, led light always came on annoying people following, Suburban towing 24' trailer didn't work. Tried contacting Hoppkins no reply. I would not recommend, as a rear view camera ok just remember to turn off led lights as if your actually using it you will as when there on it is almost unusable.

Rear View Safety Backup Camera System - Mirror Monitor - License Plate Mounted Camera
My wife rode with a friend for lunch who had a new car with a back-up camera. She was really impressed and was talking about buying a new car to replace her 2011 Ford Escape that would have the backup camera. I found a video showing how to install the camera on an Escape by etrailer. I was impressed by the company and bought a unit. It arrived quickly and I was able to install it following the instructions I had watched. It took me a couple of hours to install, the hardest part being fishing the cables to the rear of the car. Once installed it worked great. My wife is very, very happy with the install. She says she is much more confident in parking her car. Thanks a lot. I would, and do recommend etrailer and the back up camera kit.
im very pleased with the product (camera & rear view mirror) takes a little work to get the cables run through your vehicle (f150) and finding a good power source (my problem) had one issue with a cable mfg took care of it over all had it installed for 1 year very happy got it manly for conecting to our travel trailer but use it all the time now

Rampage Wireless Backup Camera for Smartphone or Tablet - iOS
Camera is exactly what I needed for my truck, utility trailer, and travel trailer. It took a few minutes of tinkering to get good views because printed instructions are limited and I did not bother to read more online, just learned by doing.
Worked great to line up my hitch ball and trailer coupler when I was ready to leave camp. Just have to remember to remove it from tailgate before pulling out.

Rear View Safety Blind Spot Sensor System
This was by far the worst purchase I have ever made. This product is more of a hazard when driving then a help! I had it professionally installed on my 2021 GMC Canyon. If I use my turn signal, the buzzer goes off then while driving road signs, mail boxes, trees , shrubs and almost anything on either side of the road set the indicator lights and buzzer off. I would highly recommend trailer discontinue carrying this product as it is Junk

Rear View Safety Backup Camera System - Mirror with Monitor - Flush Mount Backup Camera
The camera is of high quality, as is the rearview mirror and monitor. I did have to return the first mirror because the bracket didn't match my 2013 Ram 1500's windshield mount, even though it was listed as a universal fit. The Ram has a triangular type fitting. I tapped into the reverse light wiring for power. l ended up having to replace the incandescent reverse light bulbs with LED bulbs because the monitor image flickered badly until I installed the LEDs. I think this was because the BCM (Body Control Module) got confused with the additional power draw. Since then the camera and monitor have worked flawlessly. It provides a great view behind the truck, even at night. Because of the placement on the bumper it doesn't have a good view of the hitch ball, but I don't tow very often. Overall I have been very pleased and feel that the camera is well worth the price.
Outstanding parts knowledge and a high quality products!
