Frequently asked questions
No. SlapCam uses industrial vacuum suction for fiberglass and gelcoat, plus rare-earth rubberized magnets for trailers, engine blocks, and steel. Slap it on. Move it when the job changes. Infact you can use any mount that fits our standard mount adapter.
No. It broadcasts its own direct 5.8 GHz Wi-Fi stream straight to your phone or tablet. No router. No internet. No praying for bars at the ramp.
It streams on the high-bandwidth 5.8 GHz band, well clear of the jammed 2.4 GHz airwaves every other boat in the marina is fighting over. That means Zero-Lag live video and distance gridlines exactly when timing matters. This wireless camera actually WORKS when you need it.
Housing is designed for saltwater and heat (IP67/IP68 class). Rechargeable battery. Self-contained. Built to live on boats and trailers, not a kitchen counter.
Docking and launching, engine-room monitoring underway, trailering and caravan reverses, watersports spotting. One camera. Infinite placements.
You can try. GoPros overheat and quit after a few minutes of live preview. They’re built to record clips, not stream for a whole docking, launch, or cruise. SlapCam is built for sustained live video when you actually need eyes on something.
Get in line for the next batch. We’ll email you when your spot opens.
Hardwired systems often cost $1,000–$3,000+, need holes, wiring, and an electrician, and stay stuck in one spot. SlapCam is portable, temporary when you want it, and priced like an impulse buy with five-figure downside protection.
Those often lag, hate salt air, and lean on networks that disappear offshore. SlapCam is a rugged, self-contained marine and towing camera with a direct phone stream and mounts that actually stick to boats and trailers.
The app is built for multi-camera support so you can cover more than one blind spot when you’re ready.
$250 USD. A fraction of a commercial hardwired install, and cheap insurance against a $10,000 gelcoat hit or a $20,000 engine rebuild.
