take for what it is worth, but if you use 2nd monitor for backup camera, you can use it continuously to see who / what is behind you on trail (like extra rear view mirror incase your spare blocks center mirror like mine). When I tried the wireless route with the camera being powered with signal from reverse signal & picture on laptop, I had a lag with both it coming on & the actual signal o screen. It was a few years back, so stuff may be better now. If you use something like below that is wired, you only need to get power from the front (rear camera is powered thru the cable you run for video). You can run wireless using the provided stuff (skipping the cable), but would need power from rear that you can probably steal from rear lighting. I have my monitor mounted to the cage bar where uyou would put center mirror. The camera is waterproof but I bag the monitor when power washing the car (i have not clue if wireless transmitter or recever are waterproof). Been using this unit for several years no issues. If you put the provided plate on bottom of camera, it stays pretty clean from mud & dust. I use same system on my enclosed trailer when towing too (with additional cables).
