Reversing Screen/Camera outlets for a 7" Screen

Should add that the daylight/infra red cameras are now selling from 95Soarer on Ebay for around $25 each and are reasonable quality.

Being infra red they work well in no light or low light as well as daylight.

Went to another JB Hi Store got a great offer on the above equipment at a huge discount from a friendly and obliging Sales person. Bought the screen and a dearer ccd camera. I will compare the ccd camera with a mates Cmos.

Can say with experience that a rear vision mirror screen is not good.

Most of them are not bright enuf to overcome their prime use of being a mirror.

I have one and have gone back to a small screen on the dash.

I found that the reflection in it hazed out the camera picture badlly.

Also found that infra red cameras were no good in direct bright sunlight.

I bought a Swann( a reputable brand) and it faded out to a light brown with no colour at all when mounted on the back of the van.

Went back to the ones sold by 95 Soarer which are quite good especially at that price as I apid $49 for mine. A similar Polaris one is $170.
For cable I used some RCA Hi Fi cabling I had and ran it thru the van chassis rail and then up under the plastic insert in the edge sealing at the back of the van.

This stuff has sealed ends so is fairly rugged and waterproof. I still have some 10 meter lengths of it if you are interested.

Its also easy to make some patch cables if the screen has different connectors.

Have added some pics of setup.

The larger screen is my Copilot navigation that runs off a laptop

Woops, repeating myself there should have been this pic of the camera which is mounted in a 40mm pipe bend for protection
