I have been looking at wireless backup camera that I can multi use. 1. I like to use it to backup my chevy to hitch up my camper 2. use it as a backup camera in the Toyo campers 3. use it as a target cam while out shooting. I wanted something that works on wifi, that I can connect from ipad or any pda phone. I wanted something that had a battery built in. So getting a cheap pda phone was the solution. [drum roll] So here goes: 1. get a moto e sprint prepaid cellphone for $40 (brand new, from bestbuy), free shipping too. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sprint-prepaid-motorola-moto-e-4g-with-8gb-memory-no-contract-cell-phone-black/2729581.p 2. Don't turn it on, first activate it on https://ringplus.net/ pick the free plan. 3. install IP Webcam from google play store it is a free ap 4. setup a wifi hot spot on the moto e ( we will call this the camera phone) 5. start the ip webcam and start server to stream vid 6. connect from your pda phone/ipad from the driver seat So we end up with a free plan cellphone which actually works and a backup camera I am going to use the suction cup phone holders to mount it to my tail gate or rear window.
