Bluetooth camera and iPad

Does anybody know if there is a compatible Bluetooth camera that would allow you to use the iPad for a backup camera display?

I'm sure there are bluetooth cameras that would work with most any smartphone or Ipad, but my question would be the effective range. Most bluetooth devices have a range of about 15-30 feet depending on what's between the two devices. I'd say, if you can find a camera to pair with your phone, set it up and try it before you spend the money. I'm guessing it would work pretty much like the wireless systems available at Autozone and other merchants. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes not at all.

I may have found the solution. There is an app for a baby monitor. It pairs two iOS devices and provides real time video and audio. It only cost $4. I can either have my passenger shoot back toward the rear of the trailer or mount a suction cup mount to the rear of the trailer if I am backing into a tight spot. I will have the use of my iPads large screen to be able to see. I will find out how practical this is and how well it performs, but for $4, it was worth the gamble.
I will share with you my test results.
