Review on Wireless MHCABSR Reversing Waterproof Magnetic by Darnell Golden

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works on Samsung Note 9

After some concerns about reviews that the app doesn't work on Samsung phones, I decided to try it because I felt I could return it if it didn't work and worked great on my Samsung Note 9. After charging it overnight it worked great in my limited testing. The pendant we plan to use it with is currently in store so I won't be able to try it with the pendant in a few days. The range seems to be sufficient. The device uses Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth, in case anyone is wondering. The camera acts as a Wi-Fi hub on the phone. When you select it as a source, the phone may say "connected but no internet". You must first connect to the device via Wi-Fi before launching the app. Of course, you cannot use Wi-Fi for the Internet on your phone and use this camera at the same time. But when travelling, that shouldn't be a problem. The video quality seems to be good. I haven't tried it in the evening yet. My application: My tractor has a rear view camera, but there is no way to switch between the two cameras like some rigs do. I didn't want to get a trailer backup camera with its own screen because I didn't want another screen on the dashboard. But I set up a phone in the dashboard for Google Maps, so a backup solution with the phone worked for me. I will update this when I get the chance to use the device with a trailer.
