Can any one tell me if they have tried one of these or another type and their experiences . I want to put one on a 34ft bale trailer that would be loaded with silage bales and need to know for sure if signal would make it to my Patchwork monitor in the cab .

Not zoomable so not ideal for monitoring behind you.
I've got one similar with in cab screen, it's fine for eg, on a drill hopper, but it isn't really much use for monitoring where the coulters are in relation to a hedge bank, iyswim. Too much of a fish eye lens to get much feel for depth of field.
Battery in camera won't do full day either.
Don't get me wrong, better than nothing to watch for bystanders etc, when reversing, but you won't get much perspective for fine manoeuvring.

Thanks for that , just want something to help when reversing into gateways and know that it'll transmit the wifi far enough

If you can wait a couple of days, I will try it.
Certainly works on length of a trailed sprayer.

Am I missing something?"
Does that camera not just connect to your mobile phone? Guess that might be OK but can't see it connecting to the patchwork monitor.

 

[Frantic Farmer]

There' is an option it to connect to WiFi cameras

I've got wireless camera on potato harvester elevator with screeens in trailer tractors workes verry well you can get a signal 300 meters away
woof be more expensive that what your looking at

I have one of these, mixed reaction at the moment as it worked perfectly all the way to the abattoir (when it wasn't really needed) but stopped working in the vital last few seconds. Back home it suddenly started working again. I have had similar ones in the past, they are very susceptible to RF fields from power cables, so a wired version would be a better bet if you have lots of these in your area.
