Anytime Camera Mod. Another Variation. Front and Rear view camera.

It depends on the camera. if it has some kind of protection then I might not add anything. If it dont have any protection then maybe some clear bra leftovers might help or a custom plastic windshield for the camera.

Well since PriusChat was down I decided to see if I could fit the IPA button in the far left hole. It did not fit.

So while I was in there I took out the rheostat and tried the IPA in that hole and it fit. Just like it should because thats where its goes in the Euro Prius. So I tried to fit the rheostat in the third hole on the left. It did not fit. So while I was in there I cut a key slot for it and slid it in. Now my dash looks more like what it was meant to be. Now I just need to build that circuit.

Here are some pictures.

There are several things to can do to protect the camera.

Go to:

Look at Day/Night color vandal proof.

I'm almost ready for this mod, I am just getting some final details on the wiring. I still need to order my 12 volt IR floods for the IR Fog Lamp Mod but until then the camera should pick up anything in front of the car at night.

Step one Anytime Reverse Camera Mod.
Done and operational. Works great!
Thanks to "Darelldd," and "The Force" for your help.

Next two mods are speed wire interrupt and nav overide switch.

I found this the other day and I think I will add it to this mod.

Motion Detection DVR Surveillance Kit

I think I could easily add this to my 2 camera setup. Maybe even add one more DVR and 2 more cameras for full coverage.

I think I even might be able to get it all to run off of solor power and a battery backup.

Ok I found out the 50 Watt IR bulbs heat up to 180 deg. F., so I won't be using those.

Here is what I have come up with.

Camera

Night Vision Camera
[attachmentid=4050]

Illuminator

I thought it would be cool to move the rear camera to the rear surface of the shark fin antenna. The trianglar pc board would have to move, but it would look cool. The wide angle is so distorted that maybe all you'd see would be the back window surface, though.
