Overview
A wireless, solar and battery powered backup camera system for trucks, trailers, RVs and campers, pairing a magnetic-mount rear camera with a 7.2 inch dual-split monitor that shows two camera feeds at once.
The magnetic base is built for a 1-minute swap between tow vehicle and trailer without drilling, with a soft rubber wrap to protect paint and an included metal plate for mounting on wood or aluminum surfaces that will not hold a magnet. Auto-Vox pairs a solar panel with a rechargeable battery rated for up to 20 hours of continuous use, plus an adjustable auto sleep mode (120s, 240s or never) to stretch battery life between drives.
- 7.2 inch dual-split 1080P monitor
- 1-minute magnetic no-drill install
- Up to 20 hours on solar plus battery
- IP69K waterproof with IR night vision
Who it's for
Suits owners who tow a trailer, camper or boat and want a rear view without running a wire through the vehicle, especially where the camera needs to move between different trailers or a rental truck. Less suited to anyone who wants a permanently wired factory-style backup camera.
Pros and cons
- Magnetic mount installs in about 1 minute, no drilling
- Solar panel plus battery rated up to 20 hours
- Dual antennas for a claimed 524 foot range
- IP69K waterproof, rated -4F to 149F
- Wireless signal systems can be less consistent than wired
- Battery and solar charging add upkeep a wired camera avoids
Performance notes
Dual antennas are meant to hold a stable wireless signal up to 524 feet, which matters most towing a long trailer or horse trailer where the camera sits far from the cab. The system records 1080P video with IR night vision and loop-recording DVR storage that overwrites old footage automatically, and Auto-Vox rates the housing IP69K waterproof for use from -4F to 149F.
