Re: [DML] Delorean rear view camera

[Peter Lucas <lucas@xxxxxxxx>]

Very nice, Jordan. Thanks for the pics. The DeLorean could be the 
poster child for backup cameras.

I did a similar install as part of my on-again, off-again 
computer/vehicle-monitor project. I like the way you capitalized on 
your euro-spec license plate to accomplish a nice, stealth camera 
install. Mine is a little more prominent.  You might find my monitor 
location interesting, though.  Check it out under #6803 in the Photos 
section:

A couple of notes for people contemplating this:
1) Look for a camera or monitor with a "mirror image" feature (not too 
hard to find). You want it to behave like a mirror, not like a TV.
2) One mistake I made was to have the camera pointing directly 
backwards.  You really want it pointing somewhat *downward*, so you see 
what or whom you are about to drive over. It also avoids exposing the 
camera to direct sunlight, which is not good.
