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 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.
Worked exactly as advertised, My first attempt to hook up to trailer went perfect. There was some distortion in the picture when the truck first started, but it cleared up pretty quickly. I Can't speak to battery life or product longevity since I just purchased, but hopefully will get good service from the device.

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.

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!
