Communication will probably one way. Camera only transmits the
picture,
screen only receives the signal...

Not so if it's a WiFi connection using TCP/IP. There has to be a
'conversation' between the ends to establish communication.

I doubt that it is using WiFi but I will use my phone as a scanner
to check.

If it was WiFi then a repeater might help. However I am assuming
that it is just broadcasting, but with some kinds of encryption to
prevent trampling over other signals or picking up other signals.

But what's at the other end? I don't think you've explained this yet
really. Is it just a dedicated camera and display system or is it a
'web camera' and a simple server to display?

Battery powered (self contained) camera at the back of the caravan.

Cigar socket powered screen which fits over the central rear view
mirror in the car.

Both self contained units.

... and does anything say how they're supposed to talk to each other?


I think some posters have been a little enthusiastic in their snippery.

Yes, probably.

Wireless, probably (almost certainly) 2.4 GHz (see Bill Wright's early
reply).
