Default Rear camera

I removed my tailgate for a small truck camper install and with it went the rear camera. Is it possible to re-locate the original camera to a license plate bracket or replace it with a plug-in compatible unit at moderate cost?

Replying to own post to add that the only Amazon listing that looked appropriate had horrible reviews. I'm hoping for some practical Ford owner experience.

You could get a factory replacement ($53.18 at TASCA) and plug it right in electrically. Mount it right in the camper shell.
I just added a rear camera to my travel trailer. I do have to select it’s Wi-Fi and can see the image on my phone. I plan on using my iPad for that.
