Garmin backup cameras will require a Garmin GPS device, you would not be
able to use one with an iPad.

I have a Garmin DriveSmart 51 with backup camera in my Vanagon, it works
quite well. The backup camera is wireless and mounts to the license plate
frame. It taps into one of the backup light wires for power and when it
gets power the backup image shows on the GPS.

In addition to normal GPS features the DriveSmart 51 has some other neat
features such as handsfree for cell phone, a forward facing dashcam that
records onto a micro SD card and some alert features that sound warnings
for lane departures and braking.

I don't think the 51 model is still available from Garmin but there is a
newer model available. You might find the older one at discount outlet
somewhere (the backup camera was optional with the 51).
