Can this camera replace the low quality camera of a Wireless Back-up Camera Kit? Has anyone ever tried?

I'm not positive how the wireless systems work but if the transmitter has an RCA jack for video input then it would work. This camera has a short female RCA jack that connects to a long video cable that would run up to the front of the vehicle and connect to the moniter. All wireless does is takes the place of that long video cable. I put two of these systems in my vehicles and running the video cable up to the moniter was by far the easiest part. Hope this helps.

In my experience just about any wired camera is better than a wireless one. I've always had trouble with them. However, I wouldn't go so far as to claim that this is an excellent camera. It works, has a descent picture, and is small and easy to mount. It is not 170 degrees (more like 100) and night vision is only marginal. Hope this helps.

What they already said- NO. But, I tried a "wireless" before and unless the camera has its own power (battery), it has to be wired to a power source. That turned out to be less do-able than this system with power and communication going thru same cable.

I really wouldn't waste my time with the wireless camera,the range on the transmitter,is extremely limited,(20ft).

It has been a few years since we owned these cameras. They were very low quality and we have since replaced with another system. I would try contacting the company for replacements or check ebay.

It is NOT a wireless camera. Sorry. Write HD Video Depot if you already bought it and they will hook you up with what you need. When I wrote em they were GREAT, both in time to respond and getting me what I needed.

IF you have not been able to locate a source for purchasing, my suggestion, is just buy another Astak Wireless Security Camera Package. Don't have the information packet/packaging with me, but it may have some manufacturer or customer service information and they may be able to provide what you are looking for. Though, it will probably be less expensive to just order another Astak packet with the same goodies as previously purchased. My apology for not having more helpful information.

You can but why spent the extra cash for wireless? I would not buy any of the alarm.com cameras... Very poor quality.

Yes. Setup (including adding the extra camera to the system and getting synced to the app) was easy. I did not have the problem that another responder reported; my system works without being hard wired into the router. The app is a bit flaky, but it does allow you to toggle between cameras.

Yes this is a wireless camera that works pretty well. I had no problems with the ones I purchased for a project and the receivers are a good 20 feet away in a closet. I opted for the power cord rather than battery but other than that all was well.

I haven´t tried any other camera with the system but I guess it would only take Logitech cameras since you need its software and it´s wifi.

My experience: return/sell the camera and buy anything else. Sorry I couldn't help more - but the camera is very poor quality.

it does not have wireless capabilities. I do not believe there is a way to cut back in and receive from a wireless camera

All I know is the signal is by the included cables from receiver to a monitor. I don't know of any way to catch the wireless signal from camera to another device. My model is not intended for internet or cell use.

it doesn't have a connection for a backup camera, all it has is an a/v aux input but it is located on the front face (the aux labeled plug on the bottom right). There is no trigger wire or anything like that. there is no a/v input in the rear either so you can't hardwire a camera there (i wanted to do that but no luck). Check my review for more info, i suggest looking for another unit.

Hi RonI added the backup camera. It connects wirelessly to the GPS. It was the main reason we bought this GPS. We have Garmin, Magellan and Tomtom and if you just want a GPS then the Garman is the best.
