Had some time to day so i began to install my rearview camera...

 

I needed to get my bumper half way off first and remove the tail lights

Need to finish this off by cutting out a hole in the cover which covers this up

Slightly have the edge in view but this will be covered up once my cover is on

Will be able to get some good driving action from the up and coming wales drive out :thumbs:

I had a camera mounted in my number plate but it got moisture in it after 12 months. Yours should fair better there, but i would have though putting any kind of cover infront of it will seriously limit the field of view... have you tested it?

 

Looks cool though :thumbs: You got any way of recording its feed on your setup?

Dave, you've been a busy bee have'nt you :thumbs: anythingelse you want to let me on since we are Business partners ;)

 

Get a clear pastic cover(scratch resistant) and fit it flush with some clear bonding agent neatly and you are in business :p

Chap, good work!

 

 

Check this out. Currently working on updating it so I can use it with my new USB bullet cam for Wales. Was going to make it into a CF plugin, but that looks like a mission. The plan is to get it working with speed overlays etc.

Jump to the last page, thats where the last updates are. I can give you a copy of my local dev version if you want, I got it working quite nicely. About to send it over to Prefect for his approval.

a bit of both i think. Centrafuse which im using is renown for recording in low res so im just hunting around to get a better program. Native res of the camera is 680x640 so it should be better than that.

 

ah should be spot on then with a bit of tweaking, look forward to the next video

:thumbs:
