Camera modification to show line and distance?

One thing I havent been able to confirm, but suspect, is that the camera is what produces the lines on the screen. For all the Prius owners who dont have a rear-view camera but install one, it sounds like the lines depend on the camera.

For example:

Certainly sounds like that is the case though. If true, perhaps someone will replace the stock camera with one of these some day and confirm whether that is true or not.

 

my son drove an infinity with camera's and lines all around. he said it was extremely accurate.

 

If you put a screen protector on the camera with line on it, they will be out of focus and useless. You should put the lines on a screen protector on the display

 

I also have an M35X and the lines are really helpful.

 

Is it really necessary??????????

 

What does necessity have to to with this topic?

 

I was also disappointed to see that the back-up camera didn't have any guide lines. Drawing lines on the actual camera will most definitely do nothing (they will be out of focus).

 

Exactly right. Some cameras have line generators built into them, actually all you would have to do is find a camera with lines, and if it could be mounted properly, just plug it in! I would just cut the old camera out , save the power and video cable, splice new camera into old wires.
You now have lines!
