Changing cameras
I just installed my color LCD and camera I bought off of e-bay.. works
great. Awesome color picture. Good investment IMO.. Brought it up to the 21st century. I do agree the night vision LED's do make a glare at night on the glass, I will be addressing that next. However during the day, it is a beautiful picture.. The nice clear LCD Monitor has a remote control too! To reverse the angle, all I have to do is click a button. It will flip the image upside down or left to right, any direction. Plus I have it wired for constant on (to monitor behind me while driving) or auto for automatic operation in reverse for camera power, and LCD power. Its just as easy as putting 'tape' over it as one person said, but I will probably take it out, and paint it- careful to mask off everything including the small circle that is the camera's eye. this way, everything will match, and look good., I don't want it to look like a mess up there.. I have had a couple of requests to post pictures of my set-up so they are now there on my 81 wanderlodge restoration pics in the wanderlodge forum photo's section; click link below: http://autos.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/W...rowse/4c94 Stephen Hare 81 FC33-SB Plant City, FL _____ From: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com [mailto:WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Henry Jay Hannigan Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 12:36 AM To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: Changing cameras --- Jeff: How did you get so smart???
