TAB 400 Backup Camera?

TomPolakis

Hi all,

First post. We purchased a 2023 TAB 400 at the local dealer just last week, and are moving on from our old Aliner. I began shopping for a backup camera. Features that are already eliminated from consideration are magnet mounting and a separate screen: The hard-mounted license plate frame seems like it will survive any dirt road, and I want the camera communicate the video through wi-fi onto an app on my phone.

This one seems okay, but the mounting is for license plate holes at the bottom. It appears that if I mounted it upside down, it's only going to see the light that illuminates the plate.

Does anyone have good experiences with a backup camera on their TAB camera such that they can make a recommendation? Thanks.

There are lots of backup camera threads...it seems the quality is all over the place, but there are suggestions for various install points. https://www.google.com/search?q=backup+camera+site:tab-rv.vanillacommunity.com&client=firefox-b-1-d&sca_esv=00b2415a928ac49a&sca_upv=1&sxsrf=ADLYWIKvcbvsN610p0a42Swg2SjeNOhgmw:1726771878494&ei=pnLsZvHoHbOqur8P8uem4A0&ved=0ahUKEwjx07PD1s-IAxUzle4BHfKzCdwQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=backup+camera+site:tab-rv.vanillacommunity.com&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiLmJhY2t1cCBjYW1lcmEgc2l0ZTp0YWItcnYudmFuaWxsYWNvbW11bml0eS5jb21IpDlQ4QlY1jJwAXgAkAEAmAFdoAHMCqoBAjI5uAEDyAEA-AEBmAIAoAIAmAMAiAYBkgcAoAeZCg&sclient=gws-wiz-serp

Did you find anything? I'm looking for the same thing, but with the addition of integration with my in-dash display via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. If the camera will only communicate to my iPhone, then the app needs to support CarPlay.  Many apps do not work with CarPlay.

Has anybody already found a solution?
