I want to use the camera to view the front of a lowered bucket on the front-end loader on a large tractor with cab - not a mirror image. Possible?

You can adjust the monitor so it does not mirror the image. However the camera is not a very robust piece of gear, and I don't know how long it will hold up mounted on the bucket if that is your intention. Also the camera needs both 12v power and a signal cable run to it. Finally consider that it is a very wide angle view, and it does not have any kind of automatic exposure adjustment, so it may not give you the image you need. I would recommend experimentation with a camera you already own, like the one on your phone or tablet or even a regular video camera. They will not likely show as wide a view as this but you can get an idea, and also get an idea of what happens when the image has too much light because it is facing towards open sunlight.

I tried parking my truck backed up to my 27' fifth wheel and was NOT able to get a picture with the camera at the rear end of my trailer. It seems the range is about 20'

Yes, just like any other camera. One can attach it to rigs, dolly, cranes and other base you would like no worries!!!!

Couldn't honestly say. It is a general purpose camera. I use mine on the back of my 5th wheel trailer to see who is close up behind me .

Yes, there's an app you can download to control the camera and view as well. You can also edit start stop, etc from the app

No you can not. Its really cheap and the tire has to be moving really fast to see the picture good. It is just random pictures.

Depends on lighting.. I have a big set of bright lights on the rear of my truck and the camera is clear with them.. but in a dim lit area with just stock reverse lights it can get a bit hard to see whats behind you.

It works great if you locate the camera where it can see the ball on your car or truck. I located my camera under the bumber next to the removeable hitch.

The camera has different colored lines letting you see the distance behind your vehicle. Very actuate.

OK, I hooked the camera up and it is not in "reverse mode", it is not like you are looking in the rear view mirror, how do you swith it to be like you are looking in the rearview mirror?

We have one of these mounted to a carport pole facing up our driveway. It does not flash, so would not be easy to spot at night. Not only that, but if for some reason they do see the camera, the picture would still be contained on the remote unit which can be hidden over 90 feet away. Therefore you'd still have their picture. If you can use a standard digital camera, this should be easy for you to operate.

Nope you don't even have to be in gear for it to work. It is not designed to use as a rear view camera because the camera is not designed to be out in the elements. Plus the camera can't be that far from the receiver, the final reason this wouldn't work is the picture isn't that clear until you get the hitch closer to the receiver.

My truck is a 2500, 4x 4, HD so it sits quite high. I think that with experimentation you will get a great picture. Just make sure you can see a bit of the tow ball when backing

yes, we don't have it hooked up on this vehicle. but we had this exact one on our yukon and had the back up camera on it. we loved it and it worked great

Technically you cant. But if you install a switch for one on a truck and turn it off when you connect your trailer it will work. with two cameras connected they will interfere with each other. There is no way to select between cameras or turn them off from the mirror.
