Derek Uzzell Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I knew about conventional ‘wired’ or ‘wireless’ revesing-camera systems, but - until you made your enquiry - I wasn’t aware of wifi cameras intended to display an image on a smartphone (information on this link) https://www.reverse-cameras.com/blog/2019-best-wifi-backup-camera-system-wiring-133/ You may well be correct that no O&AL forum-member has in-use experience of wifi reversing cameras, so you may have to rely on online discussions like this one https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/club-together/discussions/information-technical-tips-advice/parts-accessories/wireless-caravan-reversing-camera-recommendations/?p=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
747 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 This might not be exactly what you want but I experimented with it and it seemed to work. I had a spare Reolink battery powered CCTV camera and a Huawei B315 wireless router. I set them up in the car and the Wife went shopping while I checked progress on my phone (with her full knowledge). The camera can be powered from a USB point (but has long battery life) and the router is 12 volt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad J Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Looking at the appalling English on the website link Derek posted for reverse-cameras.com, Teccer1234, I'd avoid this company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
