Default Made a wireless backup camera system cheaply

Hey everyone, I had been meaning to post this for awhile, as I have in some other forums I frequent.

I found a wireless camera system at Wal-Mart, that not only being inexpensive, meets many needs that can be adapted for our camping/trailer uses. You can use it to see how to hitch up, how to back in sites/garages, a rear-view camera while driving, and other things. You can even set it up at the campground/or home to monitor things there. The monitor will record onto a micro sd card. There is even two way intercom between monitor and camera. You can also add three more cameras to the system.

It's very portable. I've been keeping it in my truck and using it to hook up trailers at my business.

The camera can run off the provided AC cord or AA batteries, while the monitor can run off the provided AC or it's built-in rechargeable batteries. It operates on 2.4 Ghz, and I will transmit to my truck cab from the rear of my 32 travel trailer while in motion.

Many of my friends in the other camping/rv forums I frequent have purchased one.

Instead of trying to copy over everything, I am going to post a link to where I posted about it on a local geocaching forum. It has the pics and videos I made with the system (including a youtube upload).

I also posted about it in the Forest River forums here.....but this is a lot of reading and has many posts to it.....but is more detailed than the first link.

Hope this helps anyone who may be interested.
