Would this be a good camera to mount in a horse trailer to monitor the horses while driving down the road? What cable would I need to connect with?

In my opinion, no. The camera is supposed to emit a loud vocal warning and flashing lights when it detects motion, which might startle the animals. The 1 I ordered didn't have the power supply, so I don'r know how loud it is but would not recomend anyone buying this for any reason. I returned mine as it arrived incomplete.

I think so. The housing is metal and very strong. The infrared works well in the dark. You'll need a monitor that accepts a BNC connector. Cables are widely available on Amazon (for example: http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Video-Power-Security-Cameras/dp/B000P910OG/ref=pd_sim_e_4).

Yes would work perfectly fine and the cables you'll use the same cables you use on home installation

Yes. I mounted it on the back of my RV to see what is behind. will need a small coax cable for signal and a separate two wire cable for 12 vdc power.

Yes this a good camera and woyld be good to mount on your rc car. I used it ona skate board and it did great.

That's what I use mine for. I have a switch in the dash that let's me turn it on any time I want. I don't leave it on constantly, just long enough to check the trailer when I'm towing. I have left it on for a few hours at a time. It worked just fine. I think the camera is pretty tough. Goes thru car washes and Michigan winters with no issues. I rate it pretty high.

Personally, any name brand car-back-up cam will do. So if you like brands like Sony, JVC, Panasonic, Kenwood, Alpine, etc. just read up on reviews and look for the best price. Don't worry too much about "video" quality. The video screens on cars usually are not HD and from what I remember, none of the back-up cams are in HD either. Hope that helps!

I did not have good luck with this camera. It did not work for me, no reception for a very short distance 25' or so. I think it is quite fragile also. You may have better luck but be prepared (I returned mine). Shame, too, because this is really what I need and i've yet to find an equivalent product. If you have suggestion please post.

I don't think you'd get much usable video if the cam was on the dash. I have mine mounted high up on the windshield and it seems to be the best spot for it.

No it would not be the right product for that situation. I would suggest a remote camera with monitor. Will be more $$

You will need to purchase an XLR to 3.5mm cord to be able to plug directly into the camera. Also know that the Mic is pretty long and can be seen in the shot if using a wide lens and mounted ontop of the camera. I think it's a great Mic but not the best practical size if you're looking for a Mic to mount on camera. I would recommend the Rode video Mic for that.

Not sure. What I did was buy two of the long cables that go from the display to the camera. One cable is permanent connected to the camera that is on my truck. The other cable is connected to the display and they routed along same route as the other and hangs free (with a wx cover on it). My second camera is mounted on RV with long cable and when I tow the RV I just connect the two cables together. I put it on V2 and then can see behind my RV. The whole system was very easy to hookup. Hope this helps you a little bit. But actuall no quick disconnect, have to screw the male connection into the female connection near my hitch. Not sure.

I have bluetooth on my Dodge and I get a good picture. I also use this little camera to "spy" on my horse in her trailer as we travel down the road.

yes ofcourse, I have a rear view camera, i have a cheaper camera but works beautifully for my needs. You could go for a higher end camera if you prefer, but for most needs a regular backup camera ( about 60$ at most professional installers should do)

As long as the camera is actuated by a 12v Signal wire and the video input is a standard RCA. I have yet to see any other connection type used, so I'm 99% certain this will work just fine. My unit has a crisp clean picture and the grid is spot on. Remember to park near a wall at the min distance you want, then adjust the grid while the cam is on to get your spacing right. I aligned my red grid to the base of the wall. Keeps me 8" from obstacles.

Any camera should suffice. Power plugs into radio and reverse switch on wire harness as long as it has the composite output on camera your good to go

It's a great little camera. You can mount it anywhere that's structurally sufficient and that you have a path to run your wires. Good luck.

Works perfectly with mine. It's a good idea to pick up a short HDMI cable so you don't have a big bundle of wire hanging off your camera. And get a good mounting arm. The monitor is just heavy enough to drift slightly unless you can grip it down well.

Don't use this particular setup, this is more comparable to a very cheap and close range surveillance from vehicle option. If you are in a ranch and off grid I could advise some much better alternatives and similar price.
