Battlebus Galacticar Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 The third row of seats in our Gal is mostly taking up space indoors, to allow our retired greyhounds to travel in some luxury, on several duvets, blankets and towels etc. Considering installing cctv to cover that rear area with a screen somewhere in front to allow us to keep an eye on them especially on the longer trips. Initial research done at Maplins, online etc but am coming up with more questions than obvious solutions. Anyone out there done this already ? or anyone with knowledge of the technical issues with advice to offer ?. All replies appreciated. Quote
big_kev Posted October 19, 2012 Report Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) Would you be better looking along the lines of a rear view parking camera [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150782620784"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150782620784[/url] there hundreds of them out there Edited October 19, 2012 by big_kev Quote
Battlebus Galacticar Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Posted October 20, 2012 Thanks Kev. That was where I started, and still see as the simplest (and least costly) solution, but soon got involved in various other options. After some consideration late last night, top option now is to find a suitable upgrade for the standard RDS 5000 ICE unit that would include inbuilt SAT NAV, and facilitate an additional AV input from a remote camera. I know I might be setting the bar a bit high, and any pointers to a suitable ICE upgrade would be very welcome. Quote
big_kev Posted October 21, 2012 Report Posted October 21, 2012 How much money do you have ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251099802390 Or there are similar cheaper units out there Quote
Battlebus Galacticar Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Posted October 23, 2012 Well, that one ticks all the boxes. Sadly a bit over my budget limit. If I bought that, 'Er indoors would be looking for something similar (or better) for her Volvo XC90 / wardrobe / jewellery box. Still looking, around £300 hopefully, but may have to compromise..
