IStrong Wireless Backup Camera Review

[@musiklyfe7683]

Thanks. I have an 02 f150 supercrew cab and ran into a wire length issue. Your additional experiment helped make my decision. Thanks for taking the time to name this video.

[@thousanddollarcarguy]

Thank you for watching. I hope things work well for you!

[@G7Montana]

Shut the tailgate door when testing! You’ll find the wireless units don’t work as well with the metal doors blocking the signal. Hard wired units work the same when the doors are opened or closed. When installing the wireless version you may have to experiment with the placement of the transmitter. You tested both vehicles with the tailgate opened (without obstruction to the wireless signal) which is why the manufacturer includes the long extra wires because the wireless versions can be fussy when installing. Good job presenting your work!

So on the receiver end all I do is put the red wire to hot wire of light and black wire to the other ground wire

When should you show a baby a mirror

[@TheRedstonelabz1]

Wondering. Have you ever tried the full range of the camera? The camera in 1 the reciever in another to see the full range. These things advertise 100m range.

[@thousanddollarcarguy]

No i havent. Only about 20 ft or so

[@darylrobert3673]

a good antenna is what gives you range

[@bobbylong4443]

Thanks very informative

[@AdamMT1618]

Thank you! I thought my camera was DoA. I'm going to go try this. I also thought I needed to power the camera with the other power cable.

[@johncho1817]

Thx for the great video

[@ginogallegos8079]

Thousanddollarcarguy, wondering if you have thought about hooking the camera on a trailer and seeing if that works also? I habe a 27 ft camp trailer and a ext cab pickup. Im wanting something i can put behind my camp trailer. Also you mentioned in beginning of video the yellow wire was for 2nd camera, so you can habe another camera hooked up in the loom?

[@thousanddollarcarguy]

This one could do exactly that. I believe it can transmit the signal wirelessly over like 60ft. And if i remember it can take an additional input signal. So yes 2 video signals but you just need to switch between them for which one you want

[@Mark583]

👍Great video, just what I needed to know.

[@cousinjohncarstuff4568]

Was the title wrong? It stated "wireless" I would take that to mean no wires.

[@paristo]

Wireless as in no wires between the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) units, that are connected then to their corresponding ends of devices (camera and display). This means, you don't need to run wire from rear of the car, all the way to front of the car. The another point is that you can overcome complex joints, like trailer hook where you would need to connect the wire each time you connect trailer. This allows you to run your camera behind trailer and send signal to back of your car or even front of the car, overcoming the connection between car and trailer. You likely can as well combine multiple of these to create a complex network of cameras around your cameras, controlling them with a switches that what you are wanted to display on the monitor. As in three two-position switches, where you can have four cameras installed, two to front corner bumpers, and two to rear like your car and trailer. And with three switches you choose with center that is signal from front or from rear, and then two other you choose is it either left/right or car/trailer. This way you can safely park in challenging scenarios where you otherwise would need to have someone guiding you.

I'm having trouble pairing monitor to camera via bluetooth. did you use wireless bluetooth method or hardwired? Thanks.

[@thousanddollarcarguy]

Hardwired.first. then wireless i believe. Im sorry i tested like 3 different versions of this camera. Are you sure you have good positive feed to the camera and good ground?

[@TheRedstonelabz1]

This is not even bluetooth..

[@Mycarniceiro]

my friend how my sistem camera show red line in receiver?

[@PSPLORDSHIP]

Does the display have any lag when you're driving ?

[@thousanddollarcarguy]

Almost zero lag

[@Ashok-jp8if]

Hi. Little help, can we connect the receiver cables to fuse box with add a circuit fuse plug and the other cable to ground? I dont wanna use cigarette lighters port

[@thousanddollarcarguy]

Yes you just need somewhere that has a constant power with the key in the on position. You dont want it draining your battery overnight.

[@Ashok-jp8if]

@@thousanddollarcarguy ok. So i decided to connect it to the ignition or the cigarette lighters fuse. Will that work? I dont have this knowledge much and i bought a cheap wireless camera, installed camera and now waiting to install this monitor once im sure. So please help me out.

[@thousanddollarcarguy]

@@Ashok-jp8if cigarette lighter fuse is the same as 12v. But is the camera or the screen hooked to that? The screen should only get power when the car goes into reverse.

[@spacex2323]

What is thebrange of wi fi. From transmiter to risiver?

[@thousanddollarcarguy]

Ive had it to about 50ft uninterrupted

[@spacex2323]

Thank you

[@vincentkosik403]

Great 😃👍 thank you bought one like this explained it so a diy ideeit like me can do it

[@D999i]

can i use another transmitter and receiver

[@ImperiaGin]

So how's the latency and or the signal being interrupted. That's just my only issue.

[@thousanddollarcarguy]

No issues with latency other than the screen turning on when switching from park to reverse

[@robertpravecek9010]

Do you have the E Mail web site I did not get instructions for my dual system?

[@thousanddollarcarguy]

Sorry no. Your best bet is to reach out to the seller on amazon.

U have one? Or just talking about the one in the video?

[@jay_clipper5806]

Do u need the screen if u have a double din stereo?? I was giving one with the screen but I have a double din stereo???

[@thousanddollarcarguy]

A friend of mine installed the wored version with the same av inputs into his double din. I imagine it would work. I also imagine you will need it feeding i to the back up camera ports on the double din. Probably also need some sort of trigger wire to tell the double din to switch inputs. But to answer your question. Yes it should work

[@Sortovaltias]

Is that suv over 4,5m long?

[@thousanddollarcarguy]

Oh yeah way longer. Add another meter basically

[@Sortovaltias]

@@thousanddollarcarguy so it may fit to my vw caddy. Its 4,8m long

[@trdsupercharger8089]

Would this system work in the front?

[@thousanddollarcarguy]

Yes of course. Just supply constant power to it or have a switch when you want the screen on. Good for hill climbs or off roading

[@trdsupercharger8089]

@@thousanddollarcarguy cool thank you for answering.

[@bryanCLXT]

@@thousanddollarcarguy or to make sure when im cutting up traffic i can really cut it close lmao

[@dwainmcwilliams2043]

Some states, especially Texas and Florida will stop a driver and ticket them for having anything on the license plate and anything attached to the windshield. shame on both states.

[@coburnlowman]

I spent Thousands of $$$$$$ in Tx. on tickets. 55 mph for trucks at night. The entire time those Stiffback's were writing their ticket I'd let them know their ticket was a drop in the bucket for my hi dollar freight I pulled and all they had done was cost me a few minutes of time. Also let them know I had prepaid lawyers who took care of their waisted time. I loved to watch their jaw muscles twitch. The funny thing now is that I haven't had to pull a load since I was 35 years old and retired then and they're still up all night getting older for low pay.

[@smhayh]

I am seeing a lot of wires in this video

[@bryanCLXT]

its a smart option if the wireless doesn't reach. to have that 12ft wire. for 50 bucks super steal deal

[@whiggerhunter4268]

That's a lot of fucking wires for a " Wireless " backup camera 🤔 . . .

[@thousanddollarcarguy]

Hahha. Exactly what i thought. But yeah. Wireless transmission.
