Default Re: back up camera question

I put one in that uses a small Wi-Fi transmitter and transmits the video to an app on my iphone (or android). Works great, especially since there's no room for a dedicated screen.

I know you want it to come on in reverse, but since I didn't want to spend the bucks on a head unit with video input for a camera, I got one that generates a wifi signal, sends it to an app on my iphone and now I have an easy to install back up camera. Lovin' it! Makes getting out of the mall a breeze!

It's a wifi backup camera that is installed inside my hatch, getting power off of a license plate light:
