If there is an easy wireless solution, I couldn’t easily locate it. They only sell this wired camera that is compatible. I have no idea if there is a wireless camera that is compatible with your system (I did not locate one with a quick search). Your Pioneer system seems to use a single input that won’t accept this, so it’s trickier. However, you then need a monitor with RCA connectors to accept this signal. Or you can purchase a kit from them for around $190 to give their wired cameras wireless capability. Rear View Systems sells their wireless backup cameras on their site (runs around $150) but you have to pair them to a compatible monitor (it would have to be able to accept a wireless signal). While you certainly can purchase just a wireless backup by itself (without a monitor), the key is making it ‘talk’ to whatever monitor you want it to display on (in your case, the Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX). Thanks so much for responding to these comments after so much time! Do you have any specific examples that might be useful? I’m willing to sacrifice almost anything else. I was looking at that 4UCam 8909 WiFi you suggested but judging by the amazon reviews I don’t think it’s something I can just take on and off? All I need to do is reliably see and have it be easy to take on and off. Price also isn’t really a problem as I’m willing to invest in it if it will work well for me. I’m not worried about the quality of video as long as I can see behind me. I think a camera that can link directly to an app on my phone might be the easiest but an external monitor will work fine too if it’s just as quick. However, since box trucks are essentially completely metal, I’m worried about the connection issue. Then on the next job, I would have a different truck to work with so I would then have to quickly install it again and then take it off at the end of the day.įrom my understanding from your article, it would probably be best to have a wireless camera with CCD functionality. And then at the end of the day, I would have to take it off quickly and bring it home. I’m looking for a camera that can be one where I can show up to my job site, quickly install the rear view camera, and go about my day. I recently got a job where I would be driving a different box truck for each day of work, usually 16 feet long, throughout the city and sometimes I won’t be having someone there to help watch my blind spots for me so I think getting a camera would be necessary. What a great article about the almost overwhelming world of rear view cameras. So for your situation, you want to look at mounting a quality wireless backup camera up high on your trailer, or go with a wired version (which is a lot more time consuming and potentially difficult to install). Not a temporary one like the iBall would be. The key is to mount it up high so that the signal doesn’t have to ‘shoot through’ the aluminum rig. For example, Airstream installs wireless backup cameras on their travel trailers. However, there are wireless units that perform just fine.Īnd you can use a wireless camera on an aluminum trailer. This is assuming there was a place to mount it, which apparently there isn’t.Īs far as a wireless camera being a poor option, that is true if you purchase a system that suffers from delay and distortion. The low mounting position means the wireless signal would have to penetrate a lot of metal (aluminum) and it’s not going to be happy doing that. It is primarily a hitch camera, to be used on your tow vehicle (that doesn’t have its own backup camera) while hitching up to a trailer.īecause of the aluminum construction of your trailer, it isn’t a candidate for mounting the iBall on the rear. While the iBall could definitely be used by temporarily mounting it to the rear of a trailer while backing up, that isn’t its primary purpose.
