Side Camera

[dspithaler@...]

Leroy I'm going to be doing carpet in the front of the coach & the sides
in the bed room this week. It just came in today. That will keep me busy for
a few days.
My opening is the same as yours so I guess I could do mine the same.
6-1/4" at the bottom. If I need some help on the wiring I'll give you a
shout. Thanks

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.New technology Owls
eye camera from http://www.owlse

Two 3.5 high resolution LCD from http://www.lcdshow.Two 3.5 h

One CC-45 sealed side camera from Steven Birtles http://www.capeinnovation.One

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.
