Re: ? Backup Cameras?

I just saw this the other day at Costco (VR3 camera) for $90. Appears to do the job without spending a too much money.

Is yours a wireless set-up? If it is, what kind of reception do you get?

Any interference?

No it is wire back though the door and stock wiring harness.

Re: ? Backup Cameras?

I'm getting lost. Which cameras are wireless and which ones are wired up?

I guess I'll have to do some research so that I know what the hell I'm talking about.

Re: ? Backup Cameras?

The camera from Canadian Tire, which is mounted on the licence plate, is wireless.

The better wireless ones are over $300. The cheaper wireless I hear are a little "iffy". There is a ventor on this site that sells better ones (used for bigger trailers) that work well. Walmart has a Lic. Plate one for $100 (wires). It's not a tough job to wire it. Most places would charge around $60 to wire, if you went that way.

Yes, it is wireless. Just attaches to license plate bracket. At just $90 I wouldn't expect it to be top quality, as others have mentioned here, but the price is not too hateful for an extra measure of safety. I would prefer to mount something from the inside, like near the top of rear window, with a fisheye lens to expand the field of vision. Plus, if it's on the inside, you don't have to worry about slush, mud, and snow covering the lens.
Actually, I just remembered, you can get Toyota's back up camera for the Landcruiser and Sequoia. Probably a little pricey coming from the dealer but may be reasonably priced coming from a junkyard. Just a thought!
