Side Camera - dspithaler@... - 05-14-2007 04:34 Leroy Let me know how your side camera works. Did you hook it up to come on with the turn signal. I'm going to up grade mine.here soon. Did you do the left & right or just the right? Don 89 SP 36' Butler, PA ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Side Camera - Leroy Eckert - 05-14-2007 08:59 I works very well. I did the right side only as I can see the left side ok. I did not fool with the turn signal application because I want to see the right hand dead spot constantly. A couple of weeks ago I installed a new rear view camera, and two 3.5 high resoultion LCD screens, and fabricated a panel for the dash. I used the existing on off switch from my old camera and removed the old contrast brightess potentiometer. I posted pictures in my 1990 upgrades photo section on the forum. I hope I have them squared away. The first time I sent them sideways. Leroy Eckert 1990 WB-40 "Smoke N Mirrors" Niceville, FL ----- Original Message ----- From: dspithaler@...

I didn't know you could put two in that space. You might have more room that mine. Is the small screen easy to watch? What kind of camera did you get.

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Side Camera - Leroy Eckert - 05-15-2007 06:21 Don: The opening is about 61/4x61/4 plus the angle is there which gives a little more area. The LCD's have a clear well defined picture that is easy to see. When I was having trouble with my old TV set/rear monitor I looked at several different options. One, buy a prefabricated product, plug it in and go. Two, buy the components and fabricate myself and have what I wanted. In either case I had to modify the dash panel. The price was about the same. The parts I used are as follows: New technology Owls eye camera from http://www.owlseyecamera.com. A bit expensive but outstanding quality. Two 3.5 high resolution LCD from http://www.lcdshow.com. One CC-45 sealed side camera from Steven Birtles http://www.capeinnovation.com I already purchased all components before Steven began to inventory video parts. Various connectors and adapters from Radio Shack. BNC, S-video, DVD power adapters etc. No matter what you ultimately decide to use, be certain that parts selected operate in a voltage range or you will need a constant 12v power pack. In my case, the old system was attached to a power pack, 13.5v in measured 11.9v out. I hooked the cameras and LCD's to the constant voltage side and all is well. You will also note that the LCD's I used can be inlaid in the panel because the electronics are seperated and can be mounted on the back of the panel. I hope to get lucky and mount the Tire monitor below the LCD's giving a nice clean custom installation. I now have an extra Owls eye camera that can be used inside on a system. Check out that little camera, about as big as my thumb. I have not been able to drive at night with the set up but have turned it on and the view is good. If you want I send you the wiring diagram for what I did. It turned out to be a pretty fun project.

I just completed redoing mine Sunday from the flood I had three weeks ago. My big body does not fit in small places and it was not much fun. Next time I'm calling Ernie, no questions asked either if you know what I mean. Leroy Eckert 1990WB-40 "Smoke N Mirrors" Niceville, FL ----- Original Message ----- From: dspithaler@...
