Recommendation on bluetooth camera?

Hi - I'm hoping to find a recommendation on a bluetooth camera that is battery operated and does not require dedicated wifi (if possible) that I can use with my iPhone or iPad as a poor man's backup camera for a 31' Winnie. I plan to attach it to the ladder for good viewing range. Thanks!

Bluetooth is designed to operate for distances of 30 feet or less and so not a good choice for a backup camera. Check out the Tadi Brothers kits that have a wireless camera and a monitor included and are designed to work at distances of up to 70 feet.

For power to the camera consider wiring it into the running lights of the coach.

Poor man’s camera. What is that? We are very very happy with our $150 Vakry wireless camera, and we are poor. Comes with HD monitor. Easy install using clearance light wiring. Stays on all the time if you want (with headlights on). I don’t think it can get any cheaper than that.
