> Back of the trailer? The trailer might not even be yours.
This is easy. Just put an Ethernet connector between the truck and the cab and put a "security camera" on the trailer. The only part of this that we don't have already is the Ethernet connector which is currently going through ISO to get a standard connector: it needs to not vibrate loose, but still break away if the trailer comes unhooked (in particular when the driver forgets to disconnect it while disconnecting the trailer)
I put security camera in quotes because you need something a little more robust that the camera you buy at best buy. This is the case, and maybe the lens, mostly it is the same thing. in any case you can buy these off the shelf today, but the truck/trailer connector won't be compatible with one from a different manufacture.
