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.

Rear View Safety Backup Camera System with Trailer Tow Quick Connect Kit
I installed a backup camera on my 40' 5th wheel travel trailer. LOVE it! Dialed in the guidelines, flipped the image to mirror view and can nail the tight parking spaces like a professional. Lets me keep an eye on the bikes on the bike rack too. The night vision feature is great. The microphone/speaker works well when I need a real person spotting (which is almost never now). Now my wife can just talk to me, no more yelling. Installation wasn't too difficult as the cable fit behind the weather strip along the corners of the coach. If you want to know what's in the blind spot behind you, good choice here. And the monitor has 2 more video connections to use too. Might add a hookup camera next. Anyway, buy it.
I have a pull behind camper and I like to see what is behind the camper as I go down the road. The camera is wired to an AUX switch so I can have it on when I need it. The camera is also great for backing the camper. The monitor is mounted to a block of wood to fit in two of the four cup holders so I can store it when not in use, out of sight.

Rear View Safety G-Series Backup Camera System - Auto Dimming - OnStar
Has worked every time transmission put in reverse, picture clear and accurate to proximity. Unsure if it was a problem with the onstar section of the mirror, one time lost signal on a trip, but later worked flawlessly. Defiantly will keep you out of trouble when backing up.
work just as great now as it did when first Installed.
Larry S - 06/09/2019One of our Technicians has about 20 years in truck aftermarket setup and thought that this rear view camera was as good as it gets. In all, the quality, installation flexibility, video quality and adjustments made this product something that we will purchase again. The compass and temperature were a bonus as well as remote control adjustments for grid lines , brightness and such. This shipped very quickly and all components are well labeled and packed. The directions are easy to follow. Our installation is mounted below a safety warning LED light so it is protected but something etrailer might think about is a surround escutcheon type thing for added protection.

Hopkins Rear View Camera with Backup Sensors - 2-1/2" LCD
I just recently purchased and installed the hopkins camera HM60195VA and say I love it. It's an easy install for my dodge challenger and helps out beyond words when backing up. The install only took about an hour and if your not really looking you can't tell there is a camera there. The wiring was simple and plenty long enough and the monitor looks like it belongs there. I highly recommend this set up.
Works great, especially for hooking up my trailer. Was a easy install, good instructions. The only thing I needed extra was zip ties for attaching the cable to the frame. Installed it on a 2000 Ford, F-150 Harley Davidson edition.

Hopkins Trailblazer Electronic Deer Alert
Disappointed that the signal is only 105 feet My existing one is 1700 feet. But than yours was about $xx cheaper. I haven't installed it yet so I really don't know how well it works.
Guys and gals. The Trailblazer Deer Alert is a very effective tool at letting deer know that you're approaching. For those not familiar, it's like a train whistle warning humans so we don't get startled and panic. This is the warning for deer. When you finally get to them, they'll all be looking your way, it's kind of weird, but now they dont scatter. It makes it safer to avoid them when they stay put. Each of my 3 family cars have it! Easily wire this to your fog lights, etc. Safe driving.
Very good!

Rampage Wireless Backup Camera for Smartphone or Tablet - iOS
Hooked it, up, charged it, and downloaded the wifi. It works fine. I only wish it came with an angle bracket because I have no right angle metal on the back of my trailer to attach the magnets. Not a big deal because I can make a right angle metal plate and then all should work well. Great clear picture.
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 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

Hopkins Backup Sensor System - Audible Alert - License Bracket Mount
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 .
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.
Guy A. - 11/25/2018First of all etrailer is great; prompt shipping and immediate e-mail notifications throughout the purchase process. The unit was easy to install once we figured out the backup light color code for my 2011 Dodge Challenger (white w/light green stripe). It works great! Almost invisable; does not detract from the looks of the vehicle.

Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System
For the price, you can't beat it. I just installed it. Other than the sensors and distance lines being a little wacky, I can back straight to my trailer hitch, and that beats getting in and out of the truck 20 times. Relatively easy install on my 2001 Chevy.
Excellent. Easy to install.
Michael - 10/03/2021worked great on my 2013 silverado. only issue i had was the adhesive for the mounting pad did not hold up very well in the heat. used some double backed gorrilla tape to fix it
although the truck is now sold, product was a good fit for an aftermarket add on worked great while I had it

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.
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
Jim Gandy - 08/25/2020im 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

Swift Hitch Wireless Hitch Alignment Camera and Monitor - Night Vision - 4-Hour Camera Battery
Camera and screen work great. I use it use it for hitching up my camer and boat. And i've used for more then just my hitch. It has also been great to use on the back of our 31' camper, when I attach it to my bumper. It only takes a couple of times to get the hang of things. Screen is easy to see and camera has strong magnetic base, with a good field of view. Glad I got it and have recommended it to friends.
Excellent. It still works great.
Steve F - 06/25/2018I would like to say your product is great does just what I need. The company I work for pulls campers to natural gas well sites to act as mobile offices and sleeping quarters in remote areas.I do not have the time to get out of the truck 20 times to see if I'm lined up with a trailer to hook up. The night vision is great to because alot of times it is very dark on a site where the trailers are parked and I can go in the dead of night not worrying about how to hook up in the dark. Thank you very much for this product and a great customer service staff!!!

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

Custom Third Brake Light Camera System - Night Vision - 7" Screen
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.
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.
