I have been using that exact model for about a year now. It works very well. Definitely a must have.

this would have been helpful training Daughter #1 when she got her drivers license. I spent more in replacement parts and garage door repair. Daughter #2 gets her license in December, so I think I'll be getting one.

I found your video comparing Icon and Snap-on wrenches to be highly engaging, but it appears to have been deleted from your channel? The test rig you constructed was remarkable, demonstrating superior engineering and development expertise. I was saddened to see such a valuable resource disappear. Thank you for providing another perceptive analysis of an exceptional product.

I would like to use this setup for camp security when camping. So a few questions... can you use two cameras with one screen to display them? Split screen with both cams displayed would be one option but is there a way to switch between 2 different camera inputs? And I assume the camera can be mounted vertically (like on a tree with zipties) so can you rotate how the video is displayed on the screen, i.e. vertically mounted camera with horizontal display on screen? Lastly, how are the night vision capabilities? I would like to see something at night outside my tent without having to go outside. Thanks for any feedback!!

Whoa Doc, what's that Milwaukee 12v car adapter? I don't remember seeing that explained, would love to know more.

How is the night vision? Can you do a follow-up?

Campsite security is a use case that has been completely neglected by the security system manufacturers: a weatherproof battery powered wireless system that can be deployed in a couple minutes to provide continuous monitoring of my surroundings. I can’t be the only one who would use such a system - esp with a pan/tilt/zoom camera.

Until then this may be a workable solution. Thanks for the review!

how long does the battery of the camara last, if I want to have a contnious view? Is the solar charger (at daylight) strong enough to keep the camara on at all time (during a lets say 8 hrs drive) And/or can I connect the camera to the 12V-System of my caravan / camper to get it contiously charged? Yes, I know, that I would downgrade the main adavantage of this, the 2wiresless" option. Can I switch the screen to continous mode? I want to use the backup-camera when drivin on the Autobahn here in Germany / Europe to make takeover easier, not just relying on the outer rear view mirrors (or to notice the the police that is driving behind me in the blind spot when speeding... uninteionally, of course)

So if I understand correctly, the camera is not always transmitting the video, only when the screen is turned on? Otherwise the battery life couldn't be that long.

But the camera only works if you can position it so that it can solar charge..?
