Yep, so I have conducted a series of tests for mounting to my mig a night vision system, very simple, but very usefull and cheap in the same time (if you have an old video camera with night vision capabilities and a monitor). Here are two links witch describe some of the functionalities of the system

I personally find this system very usefull in my contry, because at night, even on European roads, there are drunk men, bicyclists, and carts not signalised.
So, the big question is that you find this system usefull or not, and with arguments. Thanks for your time!

The roads are not the best and you come across some wierd and wonderfull things,
the night vision camera would come in very usefull imho.

So, I get it work, installed the display in the instrument panel and the camera only for testing, and tomorrow maybe I will install the camera also near the rearview mirror. In 30 minutes I will upload the pictures... Just a sec.

Here are the pics only with the display mounted and functioning. The camera I will mount saturday. So...














P.S.: Saturday I will post the pics from the instalation of the display  in the instrument cluster, where the real adventure was

As I had promised, the pics from the instalation. The form factor is not quite finished, because the sistem is in the beta phase (for testing).
Technical specs:
- DVD ELTA With 7" dual monitors displaying independly (DIVX,  MP3, JPG, etc.), AV in;
- vhs-c video camera Panasonic RZ 15 with 0 lux night view, 18 x optical zoom, 700 x digital zoom, AV out.

I wil put also a rear parking camera (fits in the rear bar) that comutes from the DVD/camera in reverse gear.

Yes they do, but I was in a german truck it also had lights, and you can only see a certian distance with lights, if any vehicle is comming towards you you were 50% of the time blinded as thelights were all over the place apart from there were they are supposed to be, so a camera would be very usefull at times.

I have found a camera for the system  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/27-Optical-Zoom-3-2-86-4mm-SONY-CCD-Night-Vision-Camera_W0QQitemZ360179821426QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CCTV?hash=item53dc63eb72&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14   it is very practical. So I guess I will place an order soon.
