Please make a suggestion for minimal use of parking and connecting trailers (firewood/fishing). Very limited driving 2-3,000 mi yearly. 07 T4R SR5 2WD V6 mainly used for Volunteering and Handyman Work.
Low – Mid Range Price and Band Name with 2 or more years warranty (if possible). I plan to mount the camera next to the receiver (with a road/weather guard if needed) for the ease of running the wires along the floorboard under the carpet.
Thanks!! I have ZERO Experience with these cameras but read wired is the better choice.

consider wireless
I went with a Yada Digital Wireless Backup Camera with 4.3" Dash Monitor. I got mine from Costco for about $100 but Amazon and other retailers sell them too. I mounted the camera just over the receiver, on the silver part of the bumper cover. It needed power, ground and reverse. I tapped into the trailer wiring harness. Really easy. The dash monitor / receiver just needs power. I mounted it under the radio. It works great. Night vision is excellent. No holes to drill and no wires to run from back to front.

“Wireless Yada or Peak Were My First Choices”, until I read Wireless would not last as long. Plus, someone mentioned signal interference could occur in some cases. Have you had your wireless over 2 yrs? Did you get or have the option of a 2 yr warranty and at what extra cost? I would think wireless is better now.
I will be willing to mount the camera in the plastic bumper since I use the receiver to flip firewood into the truck when needed.
Are the Backup Signal and Power connections to the back-up light + power?
Thanks!
