Anybody mount one? What type?

[Bob Denman]

Look to the RV marketplace: they sell all kinds of these cameras!

Anybody mount one? What type?

For what purpose?

[Mick N]

Maybe to see where he's just been?

I had gotten an ad for a recorder, also hate the position of the mirrors on the RT

Rear camera can be useful for many reasons, not only to see where you've been. I have installed a front and back cameras. These are GoPro wanabe, from E-bay for 40 bucks. If stolen, no big deal. They're almost as god as the $300+ GoPro. They come with a 2" screen and plenty of features. My cameras are hard wired to turn on/off with ignition. Just for fun to review on your PC.camera1.jpgcamera2.jpg

I'd like one myself.. When parked, place transmission in reverse and have a camera/monitor come on to spot someone/something that is out of your line of site. Stuff happens real fast - kids, shopping carts - cars backing out, etc. Directly behind me a Dead Zone for proper visibility. Heck, cars/trucks have them!

I agree, but it's not clear to me that's the OP's intent. I think he wants to record, not view. Two very different things.

For not very much money, you can sure try one. I think the only issue would be to make it waterproof.

Why would I want to see what I just passed? Plus this type of monitor are useless in daylight. Camera at least records the events to be viewed anytime.

He asked about a backup camera, not a full blown security system to monitor all activities.

Isn’t there a great Cannonball run saying “whatsa behind me doesn’t matter”! Until you back into it of course.

Well, that would be a third type of camera, and I didn't think he meant a security camera.

He did NOT ask about a backup camera, but he did mention 'recorder', so I'm thinking he wants to record what is behind him. A Video-cam would do that, but would not display in real time for backing up.

So, in order to answer his question in a meaningful way, we need to find out what he wants to use it for instead of jumping to conclusions as some people seem to be inclined to do.

Well, wasn't exactly sure was dealing with two entirely different systems or if one system did both. I think it would would be great to have on full time in the case of an accident, but would not mind having a clearer view of what is coming up from behind on you, thinking of lane merging and such.

Will see if I can find the ad and post link.Think cost was $200 and seemed like a lot and was asking what some of you have done.

That would be helpful. Thanks.

Just for the sake of correctness, Raul Julia ( driving a red Italian convertible) said " What'sa behind me is not important !!" as he tore off the rear view mirror.

I often think of that quote on my V-Max
