Front Facing Camera
« on: January 07, 2013, 11:46:58 AM »
Does anybody know where one can get a front facing camera installed? On the net there are lots of model makes with fancy features. A simple camera that captures video when driving my Latio is all I need.. What are the recommended model? and $$$  Thanks a lot..

Sorry to hijack,

I'm also looking at one that can capture both front and back of the car.

I notice that the suction cup doesn't really hold, meaning under the hot sun it will drop off and over few months, the suction cup not in good condition (can't suck on the windscreen).
And those that have a circle shape plate (to be secure on the dashboard with sticky tape) also peel off after few months.

Anyone have a reliable product that can last without having to keep securing the device on the windscreen or dashboard.

using ITB 100 HD, bought it from ebay with UPC and have it installed by a workshop to connect it to the fuse box.
So far so good. Previously using suction cup type and it is true that it keep dropping off. esp during driving.  ;D

yup, the more popular types are

ITB100HD or finevue, stick to windscreen and can be used for surveliance.

HDVR150, rearview mirror dvr, clip onto your rearview mirror and won't drop off, no surveliance.

and yes, buy from ebay or amazon so much cheaper.
Objects in mirror are losing

just to highlight, I have my old camera shifted from the front to the rear after installed the new camera.
And I notice that it created interference to the Radio. although not all stations affected.

For the front, do take note that do not route the camera power cable together with the original cable (to the rear-view mirror), otherwise you may and thought that you remote no battery when trying to unlock the door.

My DVR also interfered with the iKey sensor.  Now I put iKey in the sunglasses compartment.
