ZachD Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Do you have a gopro? If so just use the gopro and your phone... no internet connection needed or extra router or what not. The phone and gopro can talk to each other with their own wifi signal. Wish-I-Were-Fishn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papadarv Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Another solution is a Wireless back-up camera. Sell for $40. on amazon have a built in light and run on 12VDC. Camera comes on a Lisc. Plate mount so easy to mount it on a wall or celling. Power it with an A/C to D/C 12V charger. The monitor power from your Cig Lighter outlet in your truck. I put on in my wife's vehicle, they have a 0 time delay and have artificial clearance lines displayed. Bit cheaper the an Go-Pro. https://www.amazon.com/Podofo®-Foldable-Monitor-Wireless-License/dp/B019PMZG4I/ref=sr_1_3?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1470840736&sr=1-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rundrave Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 a note for the gopro, there is a bit of lag between the gopro and phone. its not terrible but its not great either. would already probably be going slow backing up so you would probably be fine. its definitely not real time though that's for sure. It doesnt matter if I use iPhone or iPad there is noticeable lag. papadarv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt matter if I use iPhone or iPad there is noticeable lag. Had a GoPro Hero 3 several years ago which didn't have a view finder/LCD so linked it to my iPad 2. Found the delay much the same as my old cell phone using WebOfcam. Also the annoying "Fish Eye" image is the only way it operated. I found it hard to use. After I got the Samsung S5 phone I gave the GoPro away. The S5 had a better camera, better response time, does great videos and much easier to use. If you choose the back-up cam you can get a WiFi version that will run on your phone verses the 4" monitor. They also have no time delay as they use the same technology Vexilar uses on their SonarPhone and FishPhone. If your patient, you can get one out of China for under $15. with free shipping. Only takes a bit (usually 20 days to get it "slow boat from China" is reality) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wish-I-Were-Fishn Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Webofcam worked ok, but lots of delay. Use the camera on my Galaxy S5 and my iPad 2 for the monitor. I think the delay is caused by the iPad. Looking to update the iPad when the next version is released and will report back. papadarv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could also be partly the wifi router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
