I just installed a backup camera, and the night vision sux. does anybody have pics of shots at night? it suppose to infrared (however you spell it) but it's pretty dark at night.. does it not light up all that well at night?

 

it would be easier to upgrade your reverse lights to be brighter

 

^ brighter backup would be ghetto

bump!

 

From a post I made last year.

 

so is that supposed to have infrared? i paid $150 for mine and it suppose to have the infrared. the quality is about how mine is.

 

Yep, it has infrared, I think I paid .55 for it totaling $15 shipped for it off of Ebay.

 

ok, went to the shop this morning and the shop owner called the manufacturer and found out that it wasn't a infrared camera. He's going to swap it with the one that is. watkins, i don't think that's infrared, either.. nightvision should be waaay brighter than that. i'll take pics of the screen when i get it installed..

 

Hi guys...
Forgive my ignorance about this ... my girlfriend has a Murano with the backup camera that shows the image on the screen when she puts it in reverse.
Her factory screen is the same GPS screen as mine.

My question is, can I get that same Nissan backup camera installed and have the image come up on my screen when I put my 6-speed in reverse?

I have a roadster, so seeing out the back when the top is up would be a huge bonus.

Thanks for your advice!

Rob

 

im using the kenwood ccd-2000. might cost a lil more then the ones you guys are talking about here, but at night it works pretty good. the reverse light from my z is enough for my camera to show really clear n good quailty. i have 5% tint and cant see crap out the window at night except moving lights.

 

where did you mount it? can you post a picture or two? i've been debating using that camera but have no idea where i could put it so it doesn't look too out of place. thanks!

 

You want one that operates at 0 lux..... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc..._Mini_B_W.html

or..http://www.pimall.com/NAIS/bulletcameras.html

I almost got this one...http://www.maxmax.com/aXNiteBulletCameras.htm

They have semi- miniature FLIR cameras but I don't think u want to drop that much cash

 

ill take pics tomorrow when the sun is out.

 

lol.

 

You can get a good set of 3rd Generation night view goggles for $3500.

You could add more IR illumination as the inverse square law effects IR just as it does visible light. You wouldn't drive down the road with 0.25 watts worth of head light (well possibly some here would if it looked cool ) so why back into darkness with the same amount of light - IR or visible? You could put IR filters on your backing lights so that the visible light is reduced while letting the IR pass - IR filters are not cheap so you might want to just construct your own IR LED arrays.

I don't get looking cool at the risk of running into something but whatever trips your trigger.

 

Nice to see you Paul350z,

Mine works fine in the dark, with my normal reverse lights. You may want to add some IR LED array like paul suggested.

 

where did you mount your camera? i am getting mine installed this week and i need a place to put it.

 

bump for pics

 

I've waited 2 years... Where are my picture?
Also, does anyone know of compact 0.01 lux cameras? The ones above that were linked are to big.

 

I say the same thing in threads like these. I hate it when ppl promise you something then 2+ years go by with nothing.

 

Check out my pics in this thread...
