ndy4eva Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Is IR cameras from ebay (under $20) really that bad? http://cgi.ebay.com/Wide-Angle-Car-Rear ... 20a9fd6466 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I have used several of these cheap cameras and they are all pretty bad. These are CMOS cameras and give a less then good picture quality, especially at night. Many of them will collect water during a heavy rain or at the car wash. All the ones I tried were completely non functional in six months. Spend more money and get a CCD camera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
07yukon Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I have the pioneer NDBC02 and it is awesome. You can definitely tell the difference between the aforementioned CMOS cameras compared to the CCD cameras like the pioneer. Although, most CCD cameras are more expensive and usually use a "brain box" versus the cheap less bulky CMOS cameras. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 The BOYO cameras are very popular with members of this site and I have used several of them including the one I use now. Blow are screen shots of the one I use. Its from when I had the DNX9140 but the picture quality is do to the camera, not the unit. These cameras run about 100 bucks and come in several license plate mounting forms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
d12dirtydozen Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Do I have to wait for my avic unit to completely power up or as soon as I put it into reverse will it show up on the screen? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Which unit do you have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
d12dirtydozen Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 f90bt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 When I had my F90 it took between 8-10 seconds for the cam to come on. Way too long. Sometimes it would not even come on at all. Many other members on here had the same problem. Just one of the many inconsistent OS issues with those units. You may have better results but don't expect to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddog hoek Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I just installed an ND-BC2 and it displays pretty consistently prior to the radio completely booting up. I read one member stating that his worked great at first but then started to not show after a while until the radio was completely booted. I'll post up as time goes on but I'm pretty okay with the camera/radio combo right now. Only okay because I expected the night vision to be a little better but It's a ton better than the cmos cameras that I've seen on my co-workers vehicles. The ND-BC2 was an EBAY score or I would have gone with a cheaper ccd chinese knockoff. I got the camera and a AVD-W6210 monitor for 210$. This monitor has a breakout box with multiple inputs and outputs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
