In-car camera

[Red Oktober]

I've got one of those tiny reversing cameras that came with my flip screen dvd player,

i fitted the camera to the front grille

and hooked it up to the back of the radio ...... (I've made sure i can get to the main video lead so i can plug it into the netbook when i get the other bit)

Mmmm I like that I have a reversing camera on my LC and another camera to mount to view the winch drum

But the monitor is a yee oldie CRT and the size of a concrete block!

Will have to into a new head unit me thinks

I bought one of those kodak sport waterproof jobbies, fantastic bit of kit and recorded nearly the whole recent overland trip that I haven't got round to editing yet.

That image looks like cleavage. No? I'll get my coat.

 

[Annamarie]

He's not representative of all men - I cant see cleavage!

Technology is great isnt it - now you dont even need to look through the windscreen to drive, you can watch the telly - its like an xbox game!

I've been using novus roadeye for about 2 years, and with a 16gb card get about 6 months recording. this is mounted by rear view mirror and has the advantage that it doesn't get covered with bugs or mud, has gps location speed etc useful with the "crash for cash" that is happening now. with the blackvue in work car only get a week 16gb (not a company requirement) and now I don't like driving a car with out one

When restoration is complete I'll consider installing something like that...I don't really need it I to be honest, but the thing is....I LOVE GADGETS!!!

Gadgets are great ... when your cab is big enough to put everything
