Reversing cameras

Old Mal, I'll be looking at the replies too with interest - reversed through my roller door a few months back (it wasn't all the way up when I engaged reverse and started to back out the garage).

If I were buying again, I'd get a screen that replaces the rearview mirror, and probably use the same camera I currently have, which is a 92 degree infrared camera that just needs a 28mm hole drilled in the back, and you can aim it downwards.

I've had a Jaycar DIN size 7" in dash screen that you pop out, but it flops down whenever you hit bumps. Screen works well though. And when I bought it, I was a bit wary about ebay. But I think its a bit overpriced at present.

Derek on this site sells this sort of stuff. Also theres a good choice down at Autobahn for reasonable prices.

If you are planning on computer mapping, you may want to look into touch screens that have inputs for both, but I think I'd prefer to have the computing separate from the rear view camera.

We invested in an Aussievan reversing camera on our 20' van. My wife was a lot more confident to drive the troopy plus van.

I used it more than the mirrors. Highly recomend.

I came across this one recently, no idea on the unit itself.....

How did we manage before reversing cameras? It still pays to physically check behind your vehicle before reversing, you never know when/if something or someone could be under the rear wheels, out of sight of both rear view mirror and camera. Too late if happens to be a child.

I bought a tilting camera for the truck, which tilts down when backing up to the trailer or camper, this tilts back up to the horizontal when driving and I also have a bullet camera on the camper and I have them alternating on the screen, so I can keep an eye on the camper as well.
I bought those through Cobra car alarms in Vermont, Vic
