Back up camera installed

doba_s · 11-10-2009, 08:35 PM

Today was a very good, productive day

I finally was able to hook up "rear view camera" to my MY09 e90 M3.

It was a testing day to make sure everything works the way it should and I didn't complete the installation 100%. I am still planing on testing tomorrow "front view camera" and "video streaming from iPhone/iPod".

A few quick pictures

This kit will be available to all m3post members by the end of the month. You can pm me for more information.

Congrats on the work and cool preview!

Please offer:

1. A stealthy looking and small camera with solid simply mounting
2. Ease of installation allowing conversion back to stock
3. The ability to turn on the camera while driving forward
4. A fair price

With that you'll get my business and lots more I suspect.

This was my way of thinking when I started working on it ...

All of that has been achieved, but I am not sure about the ability to turn on the camera while driving forward. I see what I can do ...

can you make it record-able so we can film in the track.

Excellent . . . looking forward to the end of the month.

Good idea, but that would add a great deal of complexity to the design.

I think he should focus on getting the initial camera system up and running first. ('bug free' of course

)

This is one of the positive aspects of belonging to an online community.

Products like this can be introduced by "the common man", with a lot of hard work and determination.

Kudos to doba for building a functional front/rear camera kit for our cars.

MyKmYk · 11-11-2009, 09:27 AM

Wow, great job man. You plan on making this available to the public then? Any idea of when?

It has one AV/OUT, so I guess you will be able to connect the recording device

For occasionally, I use Sony T900 Camera with a 16Gb Memory Card, I mount camera at license plate with a thick plastic glass. Camera can record at 720p with ~30 fps. Just want to have some fun.

I agree with all 4 points above, but I especially agree with the ability to turn on camera while driving forward, this is a nice option to have and it should be pretty simple to do compared to the whole project at hand.
