Side Camera

[Leroy Eckert]

Don, I do not envy you on that carpet deal. 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 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.
