Hi ,
I just bought a wireless camera system for my car. (http://4ucam.com/Wireless-Backup-Camera-Monitor-Truck-Hitch-AL-IR-Night-Vision.html). It is designed to help with hooking up a trailer to a truck and it is doing the job well for that. However I tried to put the camera in the trailer to keep an eye on the horse and adding the extra distance, induced a big lost of quality (scrolling lines, lost of image etc) to the point that it is pretty much unwatchable. So I have a two questions,
1) would buying a stronger/better antenna for the receiver increase the quality and image reception ? If so what would you suggest. Because the signal is always going to be from the back of the truck to the front would a directional antenna make a difference ?
2) I have an old antenna for a CB radio. Could that one be adapted to the receiver or could such a big antenna damage the receiver ?
Thank you for you help,
JP
