The farm blind spot problem
If you run a farm, you know the reversing blind spot isn't a minor annoyance — it's a daily risk. Reversing a tractor up to a trailed implement, backing a trailer through a gate, or moving machinery in a tight yard: one missed person, post, or animal behind you is all it takes. On a long rig you often can't see the back at all from the cab.
A reversing camera on the tractor turns that blind spot into a clear view. And the modern answer for farm work is wireless and magnetic — no drilling into the cab, no running cables down the linkage, no wiring into the reversing light, no monthly fees.
Why wireless beats wired on farm machinery
Wired cameras work, but on a tractor or trailer they're a wiring project: cables through the cab, connectors on the linkage, power tapped from the lighting circuit. On machinery you don't own, or don't want to drill, it's often a non-starter. And the moment you change implements, the wiring is in the wrong place.
A wireless magnetic camera solves all of that:
- No drilling, no wiring — the camera is fully self-contained
- Magnetic mount — clicks onto any steel surface on the tractor or trailer in seconds
- Solar powered — the panel in the box keeps the battery charged; no charging routine
- Move it between machines — tractor today, trailer tomorrow, telehandler next week
- Works with your phone — view from the cab via the app, no monitor to install
The spec that matters on a farm: range
Most consumer reversing cameras claim 10–20 metres of wireless range. On a tractor with a trailed implement — or a long trailer — that's nowhere near enough. The camera has to reach from the back of the trailer all the way to the cab.
Our Solar Assist Magnetic camera transmits over a 65-metre wireless range, so it covers the full length of a tractor and trailed rig, a long trailer, or farm machinery up to 65 metres long. That's the difference between a camera that works on a car and one that works on a farm.
More than a reversing camera: a wireless magnetic camera
Here's the part farmers like best: it's not just for reversing. Because it's magnetic, solar, and wireless, the same camera becomes a portable security camera. Stick it on the grain store, the fuel tank, the yard gate, or a parked trailer — watch from your phone anywhere. One camera, dozens of jobs: reversing aid, implement monitor, yard security.
Our pick for farm work
The Solar Assist Magnetic Reverse Camera is built for exactly this: 65-metre range, solar powered, magnetic mount, phone app view, no subscription. Use it on tractors, trailers, telehandlers, and every farm vehicle you own.
Prefer a dedicated cab display? The Dashboard Screen and Magnetic Camera Kit pairs a monitor with the same magnetic camera.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put a reversing camera on my tractor without drilling?
Yes. A magnetic wireless camera mounts on any steel surface in seconds — no drilling, no wiring, no cable through the cab. For aluminium or plastic bodies, a fixing plate gives the magnet a steel surface to grip.
How far does the wireless signal reach on a long rig?
Our Solar Assist Magnetic camera transmits over a 65-metre range, so it covers a tractor and trailed implement, a long trailer, or farm machinery up to 65 metres long.
Will the camera survive farm work?
It's built for outdoor use — rain, dust, and sun — with a solar panel that keeps the battery charged. Because it's magnetic, you can remove it for storage or swap it between machines.
Does it need a subscription or a monitor?
No subscription, no app fees. It works with your phone over WiFi; if you'd rather have a dedicated display, pair it with our dashboard screen kit.
Can I use it for security too?
Yes — that's the point of a wireless magnetic camera. Off the tractor, it's a portable security camera for the yard, grain store, fuel tank, or parked trailer, viewable from your phone anywhere.
