Additional Backup Camera

We are newbies, and loving our Delano! However, the backup camera, always on in the mirror, which is great, but looks like everything is a quarter mile back. We'l like to get a second camera to mount on the license plate or perhaps in the back window - so obviously don't want to hard wire it. We would use as needed, and figure it would come with a display, which we could just leave on the dash.
I've searched the forums, but can't really find what I'm looking for. Does anyone have any suggestions??

Amazon.
Maybe 100 wireless choices.
Ebay
Maybe 1,000 wireless choices.
Almost any brand will do.
The technology isn't cutting edge, is well established and fairly uniform.

A wireless dash cam mounted in the rear window works well and might have an app to use a phone Asa monitor through its own wifi network.
30 bucks and up.

And
The rear dash cam is, well, a dash cam.
It will not only work as a rear view cam but it will record on a continuous loop, never having to be messed with unless you want to review something. Auto records and locks files during an accident and has motion detection which will pick up the rv being rocked or something crawling around the rv.

$30
(I haven't hooked mine up yet, but it's here waiting its turn)

There are add-on overlay lenses for cell phones which allow you to change the perspective. I think 50mm,(that's about one to one) is the right choice but they have, or had, up to 200mm closeup lenses. Simple and cheap, they maybe will adapt easily to the dash cam to get you the field of view you want.

I won't look them up but I think 10 to 30 bucks is what I remember.

And
Somewhere in the thread in my signature is information my two 12" overhead flip down monitors. 64 bucks each with a DVD player and three video inputs.

Can you have the video line instead of running to the mirror can it go to your stereo deck? I am assuming it’s already got a screen in there now so it might already have an extra RCA jack and a function for it.
