Rear View Safety WiFi Hitch Backup Camera System - Wireless
Initially I liked it just out of the box. The app loaded easily and brings up the camera at quite a distance. However the longer I own it the less I like it. It came with only a USB charge cable despite being marketed with a DC charger shown. The plug for the charger has a rubber plug for weather and it just doesn't want to go in the hole, the more you push the less it goes in. The screen on my phone times out and the picture goes away and then I have to start the app again to reestablish the connection. I'm using it as a backup camera to see my trailer from my truck camper and when mounted above the rear door, the view of the trailer is tiny. I would buy a different product next time and this thing was almost $xxx.
Works great if I put it on my trailer hitch in front of the ball I can see when I am in the right spot under the tongue of the trailer. I have a 28 ft inclosed car trailer if I put the camera on back of the trailer to see how far to back up before I hit something the camera is too far away and don’t work and that is about 45 feet away. Magnet is strong but I would not chance leaving it there driving down the road . Have only used it about 6 times in the past year works great for hooking up to trailer by your self

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

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.
The backup camera has continued to work flawlessly. I have been very pleased with my purchase. I very much like having the picture within the rear view mirror, as that is what I naturally look at when backing, versus having to look down at the dashboard. I still highly recommend this backup camera system.

Rear View Safety Wireless Hitch Camera
I needed a backup camera for ram pu. you can't see bumper or dump trailer hitch. The mirrors don't work. Most of time 99% of time I'm by myself. So a camera was the answer. This one was the one I needed,it had a nite vision and color in daylight. With the magnetic base I can put it on tailgate and see all . Monitor just plugs in 12v assorey . its portable I can use on tractor also. used it twice so far and it's Great.
Its a time saver and easy to use on any vehicle with 12v outlet.
George Weinman Jr. - 10/19/2021This is a Christmas gift, so I haven’t had a opportunity to view or use this device. I have several trailers and backing up to the hitch means jumping in and out of the truck numerous times. Since my older truck ( 1979 F 150) does not have backup cameras this will be a great addition. The gift is for me and I’m anxiously awaiting Christmas.
This camera has worked out very well my son in law has a built in camera on his new truck and this camera works just as well I’m impressed with how well it works. Thanks

VueSMART RV and Trailer Backup Camera - Wireless - Universal Mount - 152-Degree View
After receiving I did not install on my trailer for several months until after I removed the fading stickers and re-polished the exterior. I was very excited to buy and receive until I installed it and started using. I am not very happy with the camera. I installed it on the back of my 24’ trailer and tapped power from the top center running light. The video display on my IPhone is grainy, choppy and freezes after about a minute of use. During daytime use I have to turn the running lights off then back on to reset the camera after about a minute of use. I cant see at all when I am backing up if its dark, even with the extra lights I installed on the back of my trailer. I wish I was happier with the performance. I do not recommend.
Wow - The VueSmartRV and Trailer Backup Camera is exactly what I needed! It’s like a Body-cam for my highwall popup trailer. I cannot see behind the trailer at all, when in reverse. This saves me from having to get out to assess and reassess my surroundings. The WiFi signal easily connects to my Moto Z2 (Android) phone through the Hopkins Towing Solutions App. What I like about the camera is that it provides a clear picture of the view behind my popup and there’s no delay or choppiness in its motion. I reversed the bracket so that the marker light is located under the camera. In my case, I benefit most from such a setup since my spare tire blocks the lower portion of my field of view on the screen.
The product still works very well for my purposes a year in. The only issue Ive experienced is that at night-time, there is an LED light that stays on, and because it is white, it blinds those behind me. I wound up selling the trailer a few months ago and sold the camera with it. Although I never tried it, I came to understand that that there is a setting inside the App, which can turn that light off.

Was easy to install and the quality of the picture was rather surprising. Very clear and bright. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to ease the hookup for a Fifth Wheel with a goose neck adapter.

Hopkins Backup Sensor System - Audible Alert - License Bracket Mount
The original backup sensor was defective but was replace very soon by Hopkins once notified. The replacement has been working well for over a year and is sensitive and has good range. I am extremely pleased with it.
It is working very well. Money well spent!
Frederick Beard - 09/26/2018Installed 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 .
It it not perfect because it is limited to certajn degree. It would work better if my placement would have allowed for it to be a little bit lower. I am still very happy with the purchase and would definately recommend it. It is still a great help to me.

My wife has had the backup camera for a year now and is very happy with it. She has to park in a tight parking lot for her business and it has been very helpful seeing what is behind her. She is now backing into the driveway with the unit, making it easier to load and unload her car. Thanks again
