Question:

I am in charge of a small truck fleet and i was interested if you have any cameras that would be best for an eighteen wheeler trailer. It would be ideal if a wireless one would work but just all together I would be interested. I want to attempt to put up an attachable screen on the dock of the truck and then bolt on a camera securely to the back of a trailer and see how it would work because I might install them for my whole fleet if there is something like this that exists.

We have a couple of options that might work out well for you. The Swift hitch line is very versatile and they have a long wireless transmission range (range is diminished with obstacles between the camera and monitor).

For a single camera system we have # 04928 and the water resistant version is # SH02DIGITAL. And then there is a two camera system with relay antenna for more than 1 view using 1 monitor, # SH03D. All three of these systems have night vision cameras. The cameras can either be permanently mounted or temporarily mounted as needed. They run off of rechargeable batteries.

These are the three I recommend based on your application but I have also included a link to all of the backup camera systems we offer.
