Joined today with one post asking the same question as the ass clown I just banned. This time maybe you want to watch your step. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gertsy Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Rearview Cam Question Continued. Is the camera format NTSC or PAL ? I am guessing they wouldn't bother changing the Vid format for UK / Aust to PAL for a self contained unit. Couldnt find any mention of it in the Manual. (I have an Aussie F900BT)  Cheers  Gertsy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gertsy Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Strike that.. I just checked the Pioneer camera spec.s and its NTSC.. Hmm lots of cheapy License Plate NTSC reverse cameras on ePay. Might have to give one a go. Â Gertsy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Stay away from the CMOS cams if you want a good picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigolyt Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I kinda feel responsible for all this hahaha... Â On a serious note... Â The backup cams come with an RCA and a black/red cable. Im assuming you need to splice the red into one of the cables on the wire harness? Probably the 12v red one?

mdman Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 i just wired my back up cam from being just coming on when i back up to going forward and have the cam on, i taped into the same 12 volt wire from my bt box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gertsy Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Stay away from the CMOS cams if you want a good picture. Hey howcome my quotes dont work?  Anyhow: Is'nt the Pioneer Camera CMOS ? Or is it CCD? This is one of those "debates" that goes on in all technologies. Have a look at this accessment: http://www.dalsa.com/corp/markets/ccd_vs_cmos.aspx It seems to be a fairly unbiased view of the 2 technologies.  As always there are pros and cons to all technology options and I am guessing it wont be the image technology that determines the quality of image but rather the quality of the implementation of it. In that case it's usually the cheapest source that results in the cheapest low quality product which is why your accessment is probably spot on. But that still doesn't mean you can't score a good CMOS camera that has been well built and agressively priced. Conversly I'm sure it doesn't mean you can't score some old CCD camera that costs a lot and is comparitively crud. Based on Pioneer's record on product relaibility recently I wouldn't be spending $200 for a "quality" camera that lasts 12 months. Sorry 13 months.  I'd be interested in other peoples experiences of cheapie ePay cameras.  It's the ability to handle vibrations that probably has CMOS behind CCD in this area but then again I'm not about to mount it on the tail pipe. As it is I'ts not something I've got my heart set on but if I can score a good quality camera CCD or CMOS at a "that'll do" price then I'm in.  Anyone had experience with these from HK: (776 Waterproof Camera) http://stores.shop.ebay.com.au/Eonon__W0QQ_armrsZ1 Thanks for the replies  Gertsy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaisanNYC Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 As I posted in other threads, Boyo makes some great license plate frame cameras. CCD with night vision. Others on here will agree. Â http://cgi.ebay.com.au/BOYO-VTL300C-Lic ... 595wt_1165 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeeBee63 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I've actually done a little research on backup cams and went with and found an older discontinued Panasonic CCD cam on eBay: http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Audio-C ... B000RIX0JI Â From what I've read, the cheaper CMOS cameras will experience sensor deterioration if there is a constant voltage applied to them, this does not apply to CCD cameras. Therefore the wiring instructions posted by "kruff10" are probably preferable when installing a CMOS camera and certainly not "half-assed". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Junkhead Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 so if i am looking for a used camera what do i need to look for, for it to be compatible? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
