Rear view camera w/screen on A-pillar pod
�
�
OK, here is what I want to do.
I would like to be able to have some sort of small video lense and place it on the rear of the car. Then I would like to find a monitor that would fit in an Apillar pod.
I'm not that knowledgabe about different cameras or the small monitors. So...........ask on NASIOC.
What I need to know:
1. What type of camera
2. What type of monitor
3. Is there any other hardware needed to implement this
4. Where to draw the power from
I figure that I could mount the camera on the underskirt or around the license plate. Then run the wires under the carpet from the trunk up to the A pillar.
I always try to be aware of the traffic behind me. In case I have to avoid something in front of me I want to know what the traffic is all around. Plus................I think it would be :cool:

I think that it will be extremely hard to find a monitor that small. Is there a reason you want one so small?
| The_Triton | 07-18-2003 10:23 AM |
well, I'm not sure where else to put one. I don't want the BlingBling stereo system with the LCD screen. I'm not sure of what my options are. Just thought that a small screen on the Apillar would be functional.

I saw one in hong kong has built in lcd/mon inside the rear mirror with camera that you can attched at the end of your car. That was at least 3 years ago, I can ask my friend if you are serious about it.
| jaypride | 07-21-2003 07:46 PM |
You could put a screen in the visor for it. (If your open to suggestions)
| skivvie | 07-21-2003 08:26 PM |
See if you can find a busted video camera with a still working LCD screen. Some of them are TINY. You'd have to do a good bit of electronics snooping to get stright video to it though...
| vile | 07-22-2003 11:17 AM |
this is actually a pretty cool idea......for the small camera, i would think any shop that sells like home protection, self protection, spy gear will have the camera
as for the monitor, i dunno, but definitely pretty cool none the less

Well, if not the Apillar for the monitor where else would be a good location?
Hmmm, maybe the flip up LCD monitor from a vid camera would fit somewhere. Just modify the dash to where the screen could be flipped down flush with the dash when not in use.

You could use a rear view mirror mounted monitor, there are tons of those out there... Usually where you find them you can find the camera...
Like this NSX for instance...

Here is what a simple MSN search turned up

Good luck! And post pics when your done with it!

That's a start. I wonder how you get the video feed to that one.
HiFiWRX - thnx 4 the link. Those are some high prices on those mirror units!!!:eek:

My little fetish is to remove the thing on the dash where the clock/gauge pack would go, and put a motorized LCD screen that pops up when you push a button, and closes flush with the dash when you push it again. I think that would take tons of work, though.

[url]http://www.accele.com/accele2/LCD_Modules.htm[/url]

[url]http://www.accele.com/accele2/CCD_Cameras.htm[/url]

My little fetish is to remove the thing on the dash where the clock/gauge pack would go, and put a motorized LCD screen that pops up when you push a button, and closes flush with the dash when you push it again. I think that would take tons of work, though. [/B][/QUOTE]
The JDM WRX's had a navigation option that offered this. I don't believe it was/is motorized, but spring loaded with a screen in the top. Some guys were working on getting the housings made over here, but I don't think it ever came through. Wish I still had the thread, but I'm sure a search could bring it to life. I think it was wiredWRX who was working on it.

I am imagining this in the center dash location where the stock clock is... Hmmmm keep the Nice oem cover with the clock to make it look 100% OEM then it pops up... WOW if I didn't just spend so damn much on the Alpine IVA-D900 I would get this thing in a minute!!
[IMG]http://www.accele.com/accele2/images/lcdmu.gif[/IMG] :banana: Your idea would be a SNAP with this unit!
[edit] here is the location of this unit... [url]http://www.accele.com[/url] Accele is a company that many car audio shops use for raw monitors to do custom installs, their quality is good for their price and they are very reliable.
Just looked again and saw that they have a full line of "CCD Cameras" as well as a "1.8� LCD Module" and a "2.5� LCD Module" either of which would probably work in the A-Pillar pod I would assume (with some custom fitting of coarse)... Check them out either way...

What about blue-toothing your video to a PDA. The PDA could also act as navitation aid (GPS). You could even keep an eye on things remotely (like, in your house), as well. Just a idea. My guess is those fancy big RVs use video-camera-stuff like you're describing, tha'd be where I'd start looking, but you'd prolly need to find a real [B]geek[/B] to help wire in a tiny monitor. :huh:

Anyone have any other suggestions for the camera in addition to the above posts ?. I already have a 7" lcd in dash that I'd like to hook a small color camera too...

If your doing it on the Cheap check here for
[URL=http://www.fcsurplus.ca/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1805]LCDs[/URL] and [URL=http://www.fcsurplus.ca/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1794]Cameras[/URL]
you could dismantle the LCD so it could fit where ever you like.
3in wide that could fit on/in your a pillar.
