Suggestions For Second Camera Location

[Justinj360]

Hi,

I recently installed a new double din Pioneer HU with a reverse camera. This HU also has a second camera input to turn on whenever you want. I'm looking for suggestions as to where to put the second camera. At first I thought it would be cool to put under the vehicle to see the suspension and stuff. Then I just wanted to be able to see my trailer better. I don't know where I would mount it for the trailer but I'd like to put it high so its looking down. Thoughts anyone?

Thanks

forward so you don't hit a pole pulling in to a spot

In front of the trailer behind the dashboard mirror.

That's not a bad idea. Easy mount location. I'll think about that!

I'm not quite sure I understand... Could you clarify please? Thanks!

I would place a forward cam as well.

I'd hang it on the back of my trailer so I knew exactly how close I was backing it up to whatever.

How exactly would that work all the way back there? I would have to connect it each time I hooked up the trailer wouldn't I?

mount this onto your tow bar

I'm sure you can figure out the rest. If not just ask.

I didn't even think about wireless... My trailer is 14' long. I wonder what the range for the camera is like.

cheapest and most reliable would be to cable it.
most wireless setups I have used are 25'.
But that is reduced my any materials between the receiver/transmitter.
They are known to get alot of interference, from vehicle ignitions and other sources.
