WiFi backup camera

I installed this camera on the back of my 19' travel trailer by wiring it into the top center parking light harness. The result was clean with no exposed wires (see photo). I found the built-in antenna can be oriented either horizontally or vertically and still give a good signal to my phone. Daytime images are color and crystal clear. Nighttime images are gray-scale and limited range, but better than many other cameras. The camera has a built-in glare shield, which should help for low sun angles. The way I have it mounted the field-of-view is from just behind the bumper back about 10 or 12 feet, perfect for backing into a tight space. It also shows someone who is tailgating and hidden behind the trailer while driving down the road, but that really isn't the purpose of this camera. I have the phone set to automatically connect to trusted networks, so it connects to the camera as soon as I turn the parking lights on. My quibble is with the distance lines on the screen. The app allows the lines to be on or off, but doesn't allow their length or angle to be adjusted. They are supposed to represent the true perspective of the image, which they certainly don't. Making the length and angle of these lines something that the user can set would make this the perfect camera.

I purchased this camera to do exactly what it's advertised for: as a backup camera for my trailer. Installation was relatively straightforward, and once I figured out how to wire it - it was easy to get it up and running. The image quality was good enough, it is definitely not an HD camera (even thought the simulated product images lead you to believe it is) but for what it's intended to be used for - it is still practical. Unfortunately the first camera didn't last long - the promise of "IP69 waterproof" didn't stand up to reality of harsh weather and the camera got flooded after being mounted outside for a few months, after being exposed to a week-long severe weather. By that time, it's been four months over the promised "60-days money back guarantee" but still well within "12-months replacement warranty" - I needed a working camera and was perfectly fine with getting a replacement hoping that flooded "waterproof camera" is a rare anomaly. I contacted the seller asking about replacing my camera under warranty, and this is where things started getting interesting. After verifying and confirming my Amazon order info I was told it'd took a long time to get a warranty replacement. I told the seller I can wait, and provided to them the shipping address and order info they requested for warranty replacement. After waiting for a few weeks, once I asked for a status update and inquired about expected delivery date the seller did not respond to my email. UPDATE! The day I wrote this review I also contacted Amazon customer support team. They are great at what they do, and they immediately told me that they will arrange for a warranty replacement themselves. They initiated the replacement order and contacted the seller for authorization. Things happened really fast after that - I've got my replacement unit delivered in one day, and I also got an email from the seller with apologies for not responding sooner. Apparently, the seller did try (albeit with a long delay) to send a replacement unit via direct shipment from Hong Kong (their home base), and, according to the tracking info they shared with me, the shipment got returned due to incomplete shipping info - they didn't have my phone number. Regarding the camera itself - looks like the replacement unit I got is an upgraded version of the same camera. There are subtle changes in packaging content, it now comes with additional 12V power outlet connector (in addition to hardwired option - see details in an uploaded photo), and the camera power cord now has a rubber bushing to seal it during the installation. The camera looks identical to what I previously purchased but there is a definite improvement in picture quality (not HD but better nevertheless), and the Wi-Fi range has improved substantially - I tested it at ~60 feet distance and still got a solid 25 frames/sec video feed. The video connection started dropping out at ~65-70 ft., but the iPhone used for this test was still able to maintain the Wi-Fi signal.

I installed this wireless camera on my travel trailer as a rear view camera so that I could know things behind my trailer when I had to. This lastbus backup camera did it's work well. Actually I did purchase one other wifi backup camera (at price $119.99) from another seller, but the camera did not work and I got no help from the seller. I did not know why my messages got no reply. The site said thatthe service period was over. So I bought one backup camera from lastbus brand. I wished I had chosen lastbus first, I would save more money and more time. The lastbus backup camera works well now on my trailer, the best customer service was the bonus. My trailer is kind of long and I got weak Wi-Fi signal, so I contacted the seller and got reply soon from Jennifer. She was a great help and solved my problem by sending me an antenna extension cable for free! When I turn my taillights on the camera receives from tail lights. I locate the SWD WiFi in the WiFi setting on my phone, connect the WiFi, and open the SWD Camera App to view it. The WiFi signal is created by the backup camera, and can be used to transmit videos from the camera to the App, The WiFi will not alliw any access to Internet. The camera was of good quality and easy to use and install. Hooked the camera to the tailights and taillights turned on, I open the wifi setting on my phone, connect to the "SWD" WiFi, then opened the App and got videos. REALLY EASY TO USE! Recommend it without any hesitation!

Camera works well, picture quality is good for an inexpensive imported camera. Overall, I'd rate this a 5 out of 5 except for one issue: their Android app. There is no way easily to disable location services for the camera app. I've asked the supplier's tech support and while they were extremely courteous and knowledgeable on the subject, their answer on disabling services was not satisfactory to me. They did point out that the app they use is common with most WiFi connected cameras and disabling services is not something they are in control of... Apparently, the app wants location services on to detect the camera. Tech support indicated that this was required to find the camera (that's no required - I'm a app developer and know it's not required). If you try and disable the location services while the camera is active, the app quits working. They gave me a goofy work-around that is very keystroke intensive that works but I won't use it, it's too clumsy to use every time you connect the camera and notepad (every time you power up the vehicle). While the location services are on, the connection via WiFi is tied to the camera directly. Since my device does not have a cell connection (Galaxy Tab 8), I'm a bit less concerned since it would have to save locations and then re transmit them back to the app developer (located in China). I purge the buffers on the application before reconnecting the device to my WiFi with my own custom app. If you want to use this with a cell phone, I would disable cellular data services for this app.

Update to below: I bought a longer camper and had difficulty connecting through Bluetooth over the longer area. I contacted the seller who pointed me to an antenna with a long cable. I hooked it up and it works excellent! I love that I can zip-tie the camera to my camper bumper, or bolt it to the spare tire bracket. It is very versatile, has an excellent image and can be used anywhere with a 12-volt connection. Even after having the camera 2-3 years, this seller is still there to give me excellent support! I bought this camera to help see when backing up my camper in a heavily wooded area. I haven't actually had to back up yet, but I installed the camera, checked the view on my phone from the cab of my truck and can tell this will be great help on seeing behind the camper! It is easy to install, the app works great and best of all Customer Service let me know beforehand if I have any problems they will help make sure I am 100% satisfied. I highly recommend this camera from this seller!!

For my new 2021 Forest River Vibe Travel Trailer, I originally bought a Tadi Brothers backup camera with Furrion adapter for $297. The Tadi Brothers setup was junk, bracket and antenna did not fit, and it had no instructions. I sent it back and bought THIS camera for less than 1/3 the cost along with an Amtifo FRCBRKT-BL adapter kit for the pre-installed Furrion mount. All this for under $100 and it fits and works perfectly! My trailer is 31' long and my truck is a full size, double cab with 8' bed and I pick up the signal just fine to my older iPad that I use in the truck. Motion is in real-time without delay. Resolution isn't that great, but hey, it's a backup camera and I can see what I need to see. Note: I did make 1 modification on my install and that was to change out the little 3.5mm female plug that comes on my RV to a barrel jack that fit the camera without an adapter. I don't like connections to come loose while driving.

The camera and housing are well made and sturdy. All hardware is included except I had to make brackets to extend it away from the camper wall due to the rear mounted antenna adding 3/4” to the depth of the camera. It pairs with my phone and tablet and the image is clear and stable until I start driving. The FPS drops from 25 all the way to 0 which freezes the image or drops it out completely. That is the issue I had with the old camera I replaced. I ordered an extension cable for the camera antenna to run it up to the front of the camper to strengthen the signal in the cab. If that stabilizes the signal, I’ll be happy. Update After adding an extension cable to move the camera antenna into the back seat of my SUV, everything works perfectly just as I thought it would. The seller offered to refund my money but with some effort and extra expense, it is working fine and I don’t want to start over with another camera. I would up my rating to 4.5 stars.

I bought this to use on my teardrop trailer which I pull with my Jeep JK. The distance between my cell and the camera is 25 feet. The camera works as advertised. The 2.4ghz wifi stays connected and provides a solid link. The image quality is good enough for my purpose of backing up. It adjusts pretty well with different light levels. The IR illumination is OK. I would have preferred a little longer distance. I will say maybe 15 feet is clear. I have used the camera in light rain and had no issues. The image can be flipped horizontally so you maintain the feel of a review mirror The Android app is very basic, but it does what you need. The back up guides are useless. There is no eptz or zoom but again, it is just for simple backup. I am pleased with the camera and think it is worth the reasonable price. Basic but reliable.

This camera is great for permanent rear view or backup on a fifth wheel or trailer. The Wi-Fi connects easily and quickly through the app on your smart phone. It's range is more than adequate for my 25' long trailer. I tested it and it maintains a good 22-25 FPS signal over 100ft away, even out of the sight line of the camera aerial. Picture quality is good providing you have your phone set to maximum brightness. I particularly like that it comes with a 12V lighter socket connector so that you can test the camera and the app before permanently wiring the camera into your vehicle electrical system. A good quality product and highly recommended.

Picture quality is very high and camera works well in close range. Camera was easy to install but we do require extension antenna due to the length of our trailer.

This unit is good if you are within 10’. Signal strength is very weak. Does not work on my 27’ trailer from the cab of my truck. Tried an extended antenna and still not very good.

This unit is used in an RV hookup with pickup and also on the rear of the trailer to assist with backup onsite. Installation, setup, and use were a breeze, Software performs as expected without issues. I first used the reverse connection but find that the wireless link disconnects after 5 seconds of no signal. This does not allow for backing up, pull ahead, then backup up again if you misjudge the first attempt, So now I wired the camera connection to the daytime/running lights so that as long as the lights are switched on, the camera stays on no matter what drive is selected; you should notice if the vehicle lights are on so there is no issue with the camera not having any power indicator. To the Mfg: a 10sec delay of lost wireless signal would correct this minor issue. I also connected 2 strong rare-earth magnets to allow for use on both the pickup and trailer bumpers. Total vehicle(s) length is approx. 50ft, unit tested OK to 100ft.

I liked the camera as soon as it came out of the box. I downloaded the software and it worked on my everyday iphone. I tried it on my samsung phone and finally gave up. Then I thought i would try it on a previous model of IPhone. It worked for a little while but the phone can’t find the wifi now. So muxh for the idea of a dedicated monitor. Every time I use the iPhone it requires to be set up again as noted by a previous review.
