Well, I got it all installed and it looks good.

If I could have gone higher I think I could have a longer scope of distance, but not by much.  As is I can basically see from ball to back bumper of the car.  That will be good for monitoring that, but I really do want to see wheat is behind the car.  Fortunately I bought the unit that can have 2 cameras.  So, I ordered another camera and cable.  This will see what is behind the toad.

I am pleased.

I also used a wired system. My uncle installed "drivecam" cameras in coaches for several years.

At the time they discouraged the use of wireless for latency reasons.

While they used the backups, the primary install was for an interior image of the coach. Both driver and passengers.

This is where I put mine.

Interesting, it looks like it is mounted to the running light lens?

Yes. I used the existing hole to feed it through. Three carefully placed pilot holes and some silicone to keep water out of the clearance light
