Reverse Camera

[Traveler]

I fitted a reverse camera to Dreadnought on Sunday evening.

I bought it on eBay from Taiwan, and including shipping it cost me about R150-00 for a screen and two cameras. Unfortunately during the installation process I have one of my great legend moments and I broke the second camera, so I cannot fit one to the front.

But the rear camera makes reversing a breeze, as I can see what is directly behind me now.

Now I'll get me another camera that I can fit as the forward facing one.

Nice Mr H, 'Looking ahead so you are not left behind!'

Vir R150.00 dis 'n bargain

With my questionable eye sight all help is appreciated.

I cannot even park in disabled parking cause I cannot see the sign.

Sounds like a great idea, and a great bargain!
I'd like to see a pic of the display screen and also where you mounted it (and how)... asseblief.

Hoe groot is die skerm en het hy ander "inputs" ook?

Wow! R150 is Super cheap!

Post some pics! And the link to where you bought it from.

The rear facing camera is a good idea when reversing. When moving forward I use a handy piece of kit which comes with the car so no installation issues - a windscreen!

After seeing some people drive (luckily no one on this forum) I don't think a forward facing camera is all that a bad idea....

That is a novel idea.

I've been using my bicycle cause I could not fathom how on earth to see what is in front of me.

En as jy na die kamera kyk en jy sien jou rock-slider, dan weet jy jy het die spaarwiel bracket nie terug gelatch nie...

[Traveler]

As ek die kar wat van voor af kom in die kamera kan sien, en ek sien hoe groot word die bestuurder se oe, dan moet ek weet hier kom groot drama.

Gedog jy kon dalk die link na die stuur vir presies die wat jy gekoop het want ons weet nou dit werk en jy het goeie diens gekry. Die ander ding is al die kits wat ek kan sien bevat net een kamera?

[Royco]

Heinrich, did you have to make a bracket for the monitor?
HOW did you get it attached there?

[Traveler]

Roy, it came with a bracket that I used two self tapping screws to attach it to the dashboard............

Cassie, I purchased it from this eBay shop. I also bought a reverse sensor kit from him that I've installed in my mother's car.

He does not have that much stock available at present.

I bought this camera from him as well yesterday. http://cgi.ebay.com/7-LED-IR-Car-Rear-V ... 5d2bc7dc2f" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; When it arrives I'll install it for use in the the front so that it can view directly in front of the bumper where I cannot see, even when using the windscreen.

Thanks meneer...

Daai goed werk darem maar lekker ek will ook nod die kamera by kry vir my. Ek het nou wel net die parking sensors in my bakkie en hulle werk net so goed, hulle laat my so 30cm van die kar agter my stop. Die kamera is natuurlik goed vir al as jy trailers ens wil haak.

Die vrou kla nog steeds die bakkie is te lank en sy sukkel om te parkeer. Moetsê hier by ons word al die parkeer plekke uit gemeet volgens die groote van 'n mini.

[Traveler]

Fred, daai parkeerspasie probleem by julle is baie erg. Ek wou die sensors insit, maar die gatsaag kon nie hond haaraf maak op die bumper agter nie.

Plesier Cassie.
