But, like I said, despite the color problem it is a good clear useable image, and that's what really matters. Quote Selected
Re: Wireless Monitor and Camera Reply #51 – November 02, 2014, 09:57:47 pm Boy, I would like to have a better rear view camera system. Here is what I am hoping to find. I have an on-board micro PC running Windows 7 and VMSpc whos display is transmitted wirelessly over the coach's wireless network to a Samsung 7" tablet. So is there a good rear night vision color camera that will broadcast wirelessly to my netowrk and then to the tablet? I can see the camera I have at home on my pc, my iPad, my Samsung and my iPhone. I can control it remotely as well (scan, patrol, zoom, capture) and it sends me photos by email if it detects motion. Should be able to do the same with a backup camera.I am continuing to investigate this and will report if I discover the next big thing.Roger Quote Selected

There was a ferrite core on the DVI cable and I could "tune" the colors on the monitor depending on where that core was along the cable relative to the monitor input (and I had an elegant masking tape solution....)

Re: Wireless Monitor and Camera Reply #53 – November 02, 2014, 10:15:37 pm That sounds interesting, but a WiFi interface will introduce some latency in the image you see in the monitor (probably much more than the dedicated transmitter and receiver does), how much may depend on what other traffic is on the network. Some routers can allow certain kinds of traffic to receive higher priority such as when videoconferencing with the right kind of protocols are involved. Of course my knowledge in that area is probably pretty dated by now. I used to manage videoconferencing facilities at SDSU, but it has been over 7 years since I retired When I started in that field, we multiplexed 6 phone lines to do video conferencing, now my granddaughter just calls me on FaceTime!DonQuote from: Home2fromHastings – November 02, 2014, 09:57:47 pmBoy, I would like to have a better rear view camera system.

Other than that, wireless. 99% of the time, when the camera system is in use all the interior fluorescent lights in the coach are off. Plus, my monitor is mounted on the overhead panel away from the instrument panel and all its wiring, so I would think interference is unlikely. Thanks for the guess! Quote Selected

Re: Wireless Monitor and Camera Reply #57 – November 04, 2014, 09:24:01 pm Guys,Hope the wireless function makes it the 30 some odd feet to the front. The hardest thing for me was deciding if I wanted to look down at the towbar and front of the toad or check traffic further behind. Have ordered over 100 items direct from China without a problem. Expect 10-14 days to your mailbox. If you decide to wire with the video coax , Radio Shack has the adapter for an easy connect back at the camera or you can solder instead. If you use a Dremel Moto Tool like I did, make sure to wear a long sleeve shirt and mask as the dust is really nasty. The old Audit has the end of the coax as well as sending power back to the camera. I used the schematic to find the Audit wire codes to read the engine and house battery voltage for my twin digital voltmeters. As you can see in my photos, I had to experiment quite a bit before I was happy with the camera mount. PM with any questions after you receive the package. Pierce Quote Selected
Re: Wireless Monitor and Camera Reply #58 – November 05, 2014, 01:17:36 pm Pierce, are you using the new cam/monitor to watch Audit information too?Craig Quote Selected
Re: Wireless Monitor and Camera Reply #59 – November 05, 2014, 01:35:41 pm No, only picked up the engine & house voltage. Going to order a SeeLevel like Bill Chaplin installed. Contact Bill or perhaps another member will chime in on using existing sensors or at least using the wiring to the front.Pierce Quote Selected
Re: Wireless Monitor and Camera Reply #60 – November 05, 2014, 04:53:48 pm Only 1 of the present 6 are used with the SeeLevel.Pick a color, you choice. Stowed the rest in the compartment for future use.Easiest install I ever made. Quote Selected
