Thread: dual reverse cameras

Whilst I haven' installed it yet I bought a cheap drop down type screen from WOW (they do come up now and then) for a camera. GPS is seperate.

Just mentioning it in case you find that the GPS solution won't work for you.

As far as switching between camerasI don;t think that would be too difficult.

Polarism 5" can be supplied with 2 cameras, don't know how they switch between the cameras thougn

Slightly off topic....sorry....but I have a reverse camera to my DVD player that automatically comes on in reverse (obviously!).
Is it easy enough to rewire so I can overide it with a switch, to put on when I wan't it to come on, ie when driving forward?

Reckon it would be handy when tackling rough terrain and deciding if I want to go backward without actually putting into reverse....

Any tips/ideas?

Cheers,

thanks. Checked them out

looks like the two cameras plug into some funky control box and then one lead into the AV input.

wonder how the images are displayed? split screen type of thing?

maybe someone has one and can shed some light

Looking for something similar myself and was thinking using one monitor and 2 cameras.

When the caravan is connected just swap the plugging over from the camera under the rear bumper and back to the vehicle camera whilst I'm hitching and un-hitching.

Don't really see the need to see the A frame whilst towing.

Just need a seal for the exposed connector.

I've got a camera/monitor set up using three cameras feeding the one screen (only one camera at a time - switchable between the three).

I have two cameras on the Defender and one on my camper/trailer.

On the Defender I use one as a rear view camera mounted above the rear door of the Defender and the other as a parking/hitching aid mounted below the rear door just above the tow ball.

I use the camera on the camper/trailer as a rear view camera rather than for reversing. When I hitch the camper/trailer I connect it to the Defender using a connecting cable between the two.

Got the whole lot from a guy on the Central Coast. Very helpful guy. Here's his website.

I suppose unpluging and pluging is not that bad. was thinking you could have the cables in the cubby box. I have also found that you can get AV selector boxes so these may work also
