DoHonest Wireless Backup Cameras for Trucks, Trailers & RVs
Cut the install down to minutes — no cable through the cabin, no drilling into the bumper.
A wireless backup camera does one job for us: it shows you, honestly and in real time, what sits behind the truck. Our cameras send the rear image to a monitor on your dash over a stable 2.4GHz digital signal, so there is no video cable to pull through the cabin. That is the hardest part of every wired backup camera system, and we simply removed it.
Below are the two DoHonest wireless backup camera systems we keep in stock right now — a cordless solar magnetic camera with a 5-inch monitor, and a 7-inch split-screen kit with a license-plate camera. Both read clearly at night, both take a second camera, and both are built for pickups, vans, SUVs, campers and the trailer behind them.
V29 7-Inch Split Screen
License-plate camera, 7-inch split-screen monitor, room for a trailer camera.

Magnetic, solar or license-plate: which wireless backup camera fits your truck
If you tow different trailers, or switch the camera between vehicles, the R50 is the honest answer. Six neodymium magnets hold the camera on any steel surface, a 9600mAh battery runs it for up to 24 hours, and a 5W solar panel tops it up while you drive. Installation is the time it takes to set it on the tailgate and plug the monitor into the cigarette lighter.
If the camera should live on one vehicle for years, the V29 is the steadier choice. The camera mounts on the license plate and draws 12V from the reverse light, so it wakes up the moment you shift into reverse. You wire two leads once, in under half an hour, and the system then works without a battery to charge.
What the monitor shows you
Both systems send a 1080P rear image. The R50 pairs with a 5-inch IPS screen that stays readable from an angle; the V29 uses a 7-inch split-screen monitor that can show two cameras at once — the bumper camera and a second camera on the back of a travel trailer. DIY guide lines, brightness and image flip let you set the view to the way your vehicle sits.
Night vision and weather
Night is when a rear view camera proves its place on the dash. The R50 camera carries 16 infrared LEDs and an auto light sensor, and its sealed metal body is rated IP69K against dust, pressure washing and rain. The V29 camera keeps color in low light and switches to night vision on its own. Neither one asks you to touch a setting when the sun goes down.

Questions about wireless backup cameras
Do wireless backup cameras really work?
Yes — a digital, frequency-hopping signal like ours keeps the rear image stable without dropped frames. Keep the camera within the stated range (about 36 ft for the R50, about 30 ft of mounting distance for the V29) and the picture stays live.
Is there a completely wireless backup camera?
The DoHonest R50 is one: the camera runs on its own battery and solar panel, and the monitor plugs into the cigarette lighter or USB. There is no wire between them and no wire to the camera.
How does a wireless backup camera get power?
Two ways. The R50 camera carries a rechargeable battery with a solar panel and a Type-C charger. The V29 license-plate camera is wired once to the 12V reverse light, so it powers up with reverse gear.
What is the best wireless backup camera for trucks and trailers?
For a truck that tows several trailers, we point people to the magnetic R50. For one truck and one trailer that stay paired, the V29 with its 7-inch split screen and a second camera on the trailer.
