Reversing Camera
« on: 21 April 2008, 18:30:19 »
Just looking at reversing camera's on Ebay.

Has anyone fitted one, are they any good.




I was also wondering wheter to fit one to the car facing forwards and attach it to some sort of recording device in the car.

With the standard of some driving these days maybe it would be a good idea to record the journey.

Dont know whether it would be legal or not

Too much paperwork afterwards, besides now after this corporate manslaughter change.....  :o :o

These little babies spin 360 on the spot and I had one cruising down the road at 45mph! Loved it  :y

The problem I've not yet worked out is not which camera to buy but what to display the picture on and discrete mounting of the monitor

I would love to park that out side my house.  Drive up to the one at the back and shove the whole lot down the road.

I live in a block of 6 toen house and 4 of them have 2 cars per house and park them at the front.  One of the neighbers just pulls in and parks with consideration for others.    Oh how much I would like to shorten it for her with that little tool.

I thought about the location of a screen and considered a DVD with a pop up screen (similar to one I saw here on a thread as I joined the forum.)(the one that had all the gubbins inc sat nav)

But if the deal goes through for my Elite this week I would rather keep the CCRT700 and the kit installed with it.

This is why I was looking at these.

I don't like wireless rather have it wired, and with it being portable increased risk of it getting lost/stolen, I too like my VX radio and don’t want to be forced to change it.

I'm sure I'll work something out when I apply myself to it, possibly modify the sun visor.

Yes I totally agree, what ever gets fitted needs to be wired in even if the DVR is in a posistion and can be unplugged whenever required.

Am still looking would be interested if other members have seen anything anywhere that would be suitable
