I wanted to re-submit this question in a more specific way from my previous 'Web cam' thread.
I want to fit a weatherproof CCTV 12v camera to the rear of my Bailey Senator; and have this wirelessly transmit to a small monitor which I would like to clip over the current rear view mirror. I don't care whether this is B&W or Colour.
What I have leant so far is that :-
- the field of view should be now more than 40 degrees; I need to see the vehicles at a size that approximates what I would see through the rear view mirror
-the camera must not only be both water and weather proof it must be sturdy to withstand the bumps and shakes of a journey.
-It has to be very reliable as it'll be 'on' for hours at a time
-Not overly concerned about its night vision performance (as I don't tow at night)
I am willing to spend up to £150 or so to get the right gear. Those sold on ebay from Hong Kong appear to be for reversing; and are thus very wide angle (e.g. 110 degree field of view)
Can anyone who has actually done this type of enhancement and uses such kit, please advise me on what I should buy and from where?
Thanks
John
