Lucille may be short in length but she's long on 'tude
Today Lucille got her rear camera for backing up / checking the dinghy /or security purposes. I had a DLink 5020L PTZ "Cloud Camera" laying around and a Netgear Wifi Router both of which I wired straight into ignition power. I mounted the camera in the rear driver side window. The router I mounted up front.
Then I fired accy mode and waited for both to configure themselves. I fired DLinks app on my phone after hooking up to Lucille_Net wifi - searched for local cameras and voila! The default view will be looking down and behind the bus but since the cam is ptz it can swivel itself around and look at the bus interior when necessary.

I played with some wireless cameras & a tablet as backup cameras and there was enough lag time in the image that it did not work well for me. I wound up buying an analog setup.
There's no latency at all because the phone or tablet is on the same local network as the camera. If I were to access the camera remotely from the internet there may be a latency issue. If there were a latency problem using the wifi, I would have wired the camera to the router using ethernet and would have switched to my laptop - also connected with ethernet.
