Question:
Has there been any new products introduced in this arena for the Android phone? Looking for something I could permanently mount on the back of a trailer. Distance from the camera to the driver seat where the Android phone would be is about 38 ft. I'm looking for a wireless camera but it will get its power from the trailer. What do you offer along these lines? Thank you very much you are always very helpful.

The Rear View Safety WiFi Hitch Backup Camera # RVS-83112-WIFI is a great option if you want to be able to use your Android phone to monitor your backup camera instead of a traditional monitor display. Unfortunately, this (as well as the other phone-display backup cameras we offer) does not connect to the trailer for power. It uses a rechargeable internal battery with a 5 hour battery life and can be recharged with the included USB cable. The WiFi range on this unit is 50'. Check out the video linked below for more details.
I also linked our selection of other smartphone display camera systems for you to consider available options.
