Default Help picking a new back up camera

My aftermarket back up camera took a crap. I need a new one and what to know what you guys have had luck with. FYI only time I use it is for connecting the trailer so Im not looking for a $500 camera and want a surface mount to go on license plate

I just installed this last weekend on my truck. Pretty straightforward install if you already have a head unit / monitor installed.

Ive bought a few different ones (3 trucks that need to hook up to trailers on a regular basis) The one that I like the best is from Autozone of all places . best picture quality and it gets beat up and keeps on ticking.

I use these. The camera lasts 2 years, but for $10 it's as easy to change as a license plate.

I picked up one at Pep boys that is wireless. I needed one in my 4dr Jeep bc of that big a$$ tire I have on the back, dont want to run over any lil kids leaving the ball games. It has a digital signal and works great! good picture and now interference.
