battery powered wireless backup camera and monitor

The mounting bracket provided was a little on the cheap side, but held the camera fairly securely.

It has known security flaws and may not display all features of this and other websites.

That means the screen needs a power source in the cab and the camera needs a separate one at the rear.

In our case this came from the interior light and we fitted an in-line fuse to protect it from overload.

To some that might sound just as much work as installing a wired version, but it did avoid a lot of hassle getting the cable out of the cab and around the grain tank and engine bay.

Two cameras can be hooked up to the screen and theres a mirroring function to reverse the image.

This was also the only camera to have the option of setting up reversing distance indicators.

For a combine this means it doesnt offer a huge time saving over a fully wired system, but it would be useful for fitting in a tractor pulling a chaser bin, with the camera mounted on the combine tank or spout.

However, the battery pack was a separate unit from a company called Luda which also makes a wireless camera and we had to botch the wiring slightly to get them to fit together.

Because the screen is wireless and comes with a window suction mount you can stick it anywhere and its ready to go.

The camera and battery pack also came with magnets for instant mounting.

Theres also the option of plugging it into the cigarette lighter if it does go flat.

Luda publishes a 12-hour life for the battery pack, which just about tallies with our experience.

The camera itself can also be made fully wireless with the addition of a battery pack.

Adding an aerial extension provided by Trailer Vision solved the problem, but we still needed to be a bit careful about where we positioned the monitor in the cab.

Theres also a remote control, which is handy if the monitor is mounted far away.

However, the mounting point for the supplied suction mount is poor.

If we purchased this screen wed opt for a tablet-style mount that grips around the case.

On paper it had similar specs to some of the cameras, but sadly it didnt deliver.

That meant it rarely managed to produce an image when the camera was mounted on the combines rear hood.

If the camera was kept in full view of the screen its performance was considerably better, but still far from perfect.

The 7in screen also seems to be decent quality with a mirroring function built in, plenty of colour and brightness adjustment and a remote control.

With that in mind, Buyees similarly priced wired camera could be a good buy.
