Reliable Wireless Backup Camera Kit Recommendation
Updated 05/25/2018 | Published 05/24/2018
Question:
I currently own a Peak PKCOBU4 back up camera. After two years of good service the camera no longer works. I spoke with their tech rep and he indicated that my troubleshooting efforts had covered all possibilities and the camera is most likely dis-functional. The monitor appears to be fine. I have three questions for you: #1 If I purchase your Peak PKC0RB, which appears to be identical except for a smaller monitor would I be able to pair it with my larger Peak monitor? #2 My current Peak is two years old. Is it your experience that the Peak cameras are likely to have no more than a two year lifespan? #3 Im willing to pay more than the Peaks cost but Im not convinced the alternatives are necessarily more reliable. Do you have any advice for a robust wireless system that will work with a small 13 fiberglass trailer? Thank you

To be perfectly honest...if you are looking for a backup camera setup that's going to last you a long time I would recommend avoiding the Hopkins and Peak brands. If we are going to have a customer come back with an issue on a wireless camera we offer it's going to be one of those two brands. The Rear View Safety brand on the other hand is very reliable and would be the solution I would recommend highly. So for a setup that has a 5 inch display screen the Rear View Safety Wireless Backup Camera System # RVS-155W would be a great option that I would recommend for you.
I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
