Advice on wireless wifi battery powered camera
Does anyone use a wifi, wireless battery powered camera that can be remotely viewed by a smart phone?
My wife and I were away and had the bikes in the back of our TH, Her bike ( Harley Softail ) shifted and moved quite a bit, the bike was in a chock and strapped as usual, we were just on a twisty rough road and one of the straps backed off.
So............ I am looking for a wireless, battery powered ( prefer rechargeable ) camera, that I can view in real time with a smart phone, so I can keep an eye on the back, without having to pull over to check.
Anybody use anything like this?

I would think you could power the camera off of the tail light power. Mine is powered off the reverse light wire, so it only comes on when the truck is in reverse. But it should work off of a tail light too.
I have the Peak wireless camera. It came with its own 7" screen that plugs into the cigarette outlet. That way I don't need to keep my phone on.

I have come up with a decent solution, bought a XiaoYi Camera, I can power it with a micro start backup battery pack.
Should be fine, see link if anyone is interested. I bought a couple of Blackvue cameras from these guys and they haven't steered me wrong yet.This camera was their recommendation.

Also, if you need backup/jumper battery pack, this kit is awesome. ( it will power my laptop for 6 hrs!!! And will also jump start a 6.7 diesel. I did it last year when a trailer I had hooked up drained my batteries in -20 temps.
