Review on 📷 Rohent R13 HD WiFi Digital Wireless Backup Camera - IP69K Waterproof, Wide Angle, Compatible with iPhone/iPad and Android Devices - Ideal for Trucks, Vans, Campers, Small RVs by Stanley Molden

This is a rugged (8oz) 1080P Wi-Fi camera with night vision and IP69K water resistance with standard specifications. It advertises a fairly wide range of Wi-Fi connectivity at its feet for use with vans, trailers, trucks, or even farm implements. for use with I-Phone and Android. They are "not more aloof" - more invisible. You can argue that they are easy to assemble. My project and current take on DIY projects has a different acceptance range for these products than what you may hear from other customer reviews. I'm upgrading a 1995 Isuzu Trooper LS to bring it into the 21st century. For now, that includes three components added to the car, integrated with the fourth component, a 7-inch Android tablet running Android 9.0. It's important to remember that software for devices like the Rohent camera can become outdated. iOS 10 and Android 10.0. I actually bought my Android tablet with this in mind for several camera candidate projects. But it's only been about 2 years since the tablet was released and this tablet will be a second brain with infrequent app updates pinned to the dashboard as a semi-permanent add-on. I looked for several options for a backup camera and rear camera, including kits that included components like a dash cam and rear camera. There are some very good kits out there, but I found that the Android 8 MP rear camera doubles very well as a DVR and a recorder if desired (128GB SDXC card in the tablet). Looked at the cost, looked at the quality, looked at the specs, looked at their capabilities. For example, you may also need USB charging and GPS. In my Android case I have GPS with Google Maps, voice recognition and voice navigation in addition to simultaneous music playback and rear camera. And I have a USB charger with an MP3 player/FM transmitter that works well with my stock digital receiver. So all the basic elements are covered and everything is fully integrated with Android. Having an old Trooper SUV, I decided to worry less about aesthetics and mount the camera in the best possible position while avoiding a silhouette or profile that overhangs the vehicle. original look. After researching inside mounting options, I decided to mount it on the near-vertical rear of the Trooper's air deflector back panel, which rises about 2 inches above the tailgate. Then there was a problem with the mounting options, because. In contrast to the camera layout, I could drill four holes in the body panel (deflector panel), but I would have to drill two panels because the panel is manufactured in this way and welded at the edge. , I could use cable ties with a rubber grommet to protect the paint, or I could use neodymium magnets - a pair and one for each mounting hole in the camera mount. Bracket/magnet assembly, but it ended up being pretty easy. With the addition of a layer of RTV silicone between the magnets and the body plate, I doubt this camera will ever move or detach without the use of a baseball bat or a huge pair of Canal locks and two pairs of hands. impractical, even for a Wi-Fi camera. For this reason, many people choose to integrate with tail or "backup" lights or taillight circuits as it provides the least amount of wiring for the camera. Instead, I opted to ground the camera to a factory rear ground point and run a wire to the front dash to connect to the LED-illuminated key switch. After all, it was the perfect camera. A license plate camera would not work for me as the license plate is attached to the right of the tailgate and the smaller tailgate. The bumper or stand of the SUV is too low and it is too easy to physically damage the camera or mount. The rest of the door is covered by the paratrooper's spare tire with a black leatherette boot. The air baffle was just right. So the camera was just right. From time to time, perhaps with other busy apps running in the background, the trusted camera software will skip a frame on the fly and then restore itself while maintaining the Wi-Fi signal. For myself, I replaced the original external short antenna with a Wi-Fi antenna and extension cable installed in the same area of the trunk side panel where the camera power cable connects to the dash. It's no better or worse than a short antenna, but it puts the antenna in the car and makes the camera look better.
