Default Backup Camera / Camera Setup

I'm looking for some sort of a cheaper option of a camera system. The function is gonna be used on the back end of a round baler, for couple things to see people approaching and obstacles but mostly to see that the bale has tied properly before I take off in case there is a problem to be fixed.

Been doing some looking on Amazon at some kits for under $100 which is ideal but question the lifespan of those products. I have installed dozens of the Voyager camera kits for air-speeding equipment in 4wd tractors but don't want to spend that kind of money
Does anyone have any experience with some of these sort of kits.?
A wireless system would be ideal

With the price of China supplied cameras and transmitter/receivers, you could assembly a dependable wireless system for under $100.

I would be mindful on the range of a wireless system. I bought one from Costco for my 5'ver. Wired it so it was on and I could keep an eye on my old boat behind the trailer. It cut in and out constantly, only about 30' away. A friend of mine has one hardwired for the same purpose as me, that works really well, but its a tiny security camera, not a 'backup camera' proper.
