EWAY WiFi Magnetic Hitch Wireless Backup Camera

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Picce and functionality Ease of installation: So easy to move around! Versatile, I can use it to keep an eye on my horse in the trailer or use it to line up my gooseneck trailer easily. Strong magnetic camera and easy to work app ( will grab on to any WiFi around) The charge was great, picture quality good and app super easy ( need WiFi) . We had no issues with camera on our 4 hour trip to pick up our new horse ( put it on the charger when we got there) and it worked great for the 4 hour trip back home. Personally I fee this is a great investment for anyone hauling horses or livestock. The magnet is super strong for the record. I was pleasantly surprised how great this worked for us.

Reason I bought: I’m a trailer towing veteran who is tired of looking like a rookie when backing up a single place waverunner trailer. I needed a higher camera angle. Solution: Attach this on cab roof for a better viewing angle when backing. Conceal out of view inside the truck when done. Magnet is strong, but this will be powered off and kept inside truck when actually towing down the road. Setup/function: Camera is charged with a Usb-C cable (included). My phone is running Android ver. 10.0. I downloaded/installed the “RV Camera” app. as instructed. Instructions as accurate and concise. Camera was powered on. From phone WiFi settings, it found the camera’s wifi signal, so I switched to it. Back to app screen, the camera SSID appeared, I clicked on it, then clicked on a “Confirm” message below it, and was then brought to the live camera view. From the live view screen bottom menu, you can flip orientation of video all around if needed, take camera view screenshots, and turn on/off the guidelines. I keep them off. If they are adjustable, I do not know how. Video I posted is of camera in use. The green trees/grass seen on video look quite red and that is only due to the phone screen recorder app I used. Otherwise, actual colors I saw on my phone screen were fine. No video lag when mounted on truck. I also included a clip of me walking around while holding the camera aimed at my cell phone with the live view active to demonstrate zero lag in the video transmission. Video quality is excellent. I’m very happy with this camera. Using this on a 2019 Ford Ranger, 4 door, with a tonneau cover. Even with cover retracted, tailgate down, and looking over my shoulder, I can barely see the end of my single place waverunner trailer (empty). Skinny trailer means I can’t see it in side mirrors until it is too crooked to easily correct. I transitioned from old-school, looking over shoulder backing to using the trucks factory tailgate mounted back up camera, but that sits so low, I can’t effectively see when the back of the trailer begins to go the wrong way. Add to the mix some very steep and narrow ramps, the trailer drops out of view quickly and there isn’t a lot of turning correction you can make before grazing the dock. This camera will finally solve all my trailer backing issues.

I was looking forward to getting this camera, but I was disappointed once I got it and tried to use it. First, the appearance and quality of the camera seems decent, and rugged. The issue was when I went to get the app I found out only then that it does not work on Google Pixels nor on the Android operating system version 16. The app says that if you have any issues contact them and they will offer suggestions. Why would anyone want to do the back and forth messaging? Why did they not mention in the Amazon ad that it will not work with certain phones or operating systems? I returned the item because of the above and the fact that I do not want to play the messaging game for the next few weeks with someone in China only to find out that it will not work.

Based on some other reviews, i have deleted and reinstalled the app , the camera is working again,very happy about that, however would have been good to have had a response from customer service. Updated, this is now oct. 9th of 23 - we purchased this backup camera in nov. 22 - it has now stopped working after only being used 2 maybe 3 times, and has been kept inside my home. Company advertises a 3 yr warranty. Customer service has not responded to my email sent to them on sept 26th. Used this the for the first time yesterday. We are using it inside our cattle trailer to keep an eye on our livestock we are hauling. It worked perfectly. The camera stayed connected and charged the entire trip. We only used for 5 hrs but it could have lasted longer. The image was great, the magnet was good and strong and never slid down the inside wall of the trailer despite some curvy back roads and a few bumps. Set up was so EASY! Very pleased and highly recomend!

I had no trouble seeing this up and using it when doing a variety of parking and leveling tasks with my camping trailer. I've found even more related uses, like verifying my tow lights wiring before going to pick up my trailer. Nice verification step that is difficult if you're solo. This makes it a snap when combined with a tow wiring tester. I am very happy with this purchase. (Also, I see a lot of people having trouble getting the app to work. The app was easy to set up and use for someone familiar with this short of things, but not everyone is. If you're not comfortable with switching your Wi-Fi to use the device with the app and need a hand, ask someone patient that you trust to help walk you through it. Once you've done it a few times it should become second nature. This thing is far too handy to walk away from due to the Wi-Fi config.)

Works perfectly on our 26’ Jayco trailer. No wiring to install. Strong magnet so it stays put on the bumper. Great clear image makes backing into campsites so much easier! Uses your cell phone (with free APP download) as the monitor.

The product is good and it has night vision but the clarity and sharpness of the picture is so low and at night you can't see the cars only lights

2 months now since I have this camera. I use it to hitch my 4X4 onto my caravan. My 4X4 number plate and reverse light is off center to the left and installing a hard wired camera is impossible. This camera unit comes in real handy as I can position close enough to the tow vehicle centerline to see the hitch. Be aware, you need to turn on Location on your phone for it to work, and refresh your phone Wi-Fi IPRO network when reconnecting. Excellent unit, clear image and strong magnetic hold. Highly recommended.

Bought this camera to keep an eye on our horses inside our horse trailer. First use: plugged it in overnight to a 35watt charger. No charge indicators, but manual says at least 6 hour charge before first use. Camera was on the next day and transmitting for 7+ hours, flawlessly. Signal was perfect- my phone (receiver) was in the cab of the truck. The camera was mounted inside the trailer, on the rear door facing forward. now this is a 3-horse slant load metal and insulated trailer with a dressing room at the front. I was worried that the wifi wouldn’t be strong enough from the inside rear of the trailer- but there were zero issues during the 7+ hours. Strong magnetic mount kept that little camera perfectly still on the back door. I could see our ‘cargo’ the entire trip! I’m so glad we got this camera. The app from the App Store is just a generic app for these types of cameras. No bells or whistles. I really like this camera!

Easy connection, strong magnet, clear video. Not cheap, but well worth the $$ to get the features and ease of use.
