Optimill reversing camera to iPhone screen. Any ideas?
I could do with a camera but don’t like any of the head units really, and I don’t want a separate screen. Any ideas on what would I need to do to set it up so that I could view it on my iPhone?

Cheers
Col

Something like in below link. Saves you wiring to the front. But I guess would be better to have the wifi adaptor (and perhaps the camera as well) to power on ignition rather that reverse light, so the phone may be hooked up right away (not keeping the clutch disengaged in reverse while trying to connect).

Then you need software, but quick check with "wifi camera' on app store gave quite a few options.

Edit - I just realized that it states 2.4GHz, Although Wifi use 2.4Ghz as well as 5GHz, there is no indication if it is using wifi protocols. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Look at the Garmin dash cam mini.
About 2" high and only needs a power supply. If you set it up at the correct angle you may be able to use it as both a rear facing dash cam and a reversing camera.

The app allows you to see both live and recorded footage on your iPhone using wifi.

I have one fitted as a dash cam - very neat and unobtrusive
