Installing a rear-view backup monitor

Have you ever tried to connect to a trailer without dirtying someone for you? If you avoid scratching the paint or ring hitch, it is considered an estimator of talent in the distance. For the rest of us, however, a rear view camera can do this task and others much easier.

Benefits
In recent years, proximity sensors that beep when you back up too close to an obstacle they have become a popular factory option SUVs and other large vehicles. The problem is that the device does not tell what's back there, and only a few indicate how close you are to hit something or, worse, someone. A rearview camera is really a better alternative. Not only allow you to see what could be blocking your way back, but can also serve as a safety measure to detect intruders that lurk behind your vehicle and a security measure to avoid hitting a child or animal.
In some cases, rear view camera is mounted on the upper edge of the deck, so you have a bird's eye view of objects behind the rear bumper. In this particular vehicle, however, the owner did not want to pierce the veneer, so we decided to put rear view color CCD camera type bullet in the plastic bumper. In fact, you can install the camera virtually anywhere you want, and use the controller angle of the rings move in the desired direction. (In fact, I once saw a holder of a sport compact that was eight-yes, eight cameras installed at various locations, with a spit in the configuration screen on a large monitor.

Housing
You probably do not need anything that elaborate (or voyeur) in your truck or SUV, however. The housing of the 3.5-inch display including the view backup Hind Monitor Vizualogic system fits on the bracket for the rear view mirror to the driver's view easily, without hampering visibility forward. Note that the monitor requires a little adjustment when placing it in the plastic housing. You may have to lengthen or widen the screw holes with a drill or bur, but no, they are bigger than the washers on the screws.


Normally the camera is turned on when the shifter is in reverse (to link the wiring system backup lights), but the vehicle owner requested a manually operated switch, and (not a bad idea the security aspect already mentioned). This step requires drilling a hole in the dashboard to change (not included, but available at any electronics store). We also had to install a diode in the wiring harness to prevent the manual switch circuit for the backup lights. The diode is a small component in the power line that acts as a valve for the stream, preventing further flow in one direction.
