Backup Camera Installation

[whoofit]

[p]Yes! Locks keep honest people honest. It's the other ones I'm most concerned with.

Just my AM bike alone costs ...err...umm... Now that I think about it the real thieves were in the bike shop to begin with! It is made from carbon fiber including the rims. Just prying on it renders it useless and maybe even damaged beyond repair. Everything is quick disconnect too. Suppose I could disassemble it before placing it on the rack but then I wouldn't need a rack. I'd need a bucket for inside the trailer.

I belong to some forums and have heard time and time again about thieves coming along at stop lights and swiping the seats, bars, wheels...even the ding dong bells and streamers!!! Those streamers cost a fortune!....ha. Seriously though, the saddles alone with dropper posts are four hundred to replace and those are a 5 second item at best.

It would be good to know what's going on back there at all those highway rest stops and Walmarts I've been dreaming about and it would be awesome to have  a video record of the event.[/p][p]

Happy Trails to you as well!

[font size="3"]FWIW, I have the Voyager camera mounted on the roof, as close to the rear edge as possible, where it's out the reach of passersby. The camera FOV is spec'd at 93 degrees horizontal, 66 degrees vertical, 117 degrees diagonal.  With the camera positioned to give a good view to the rear I can see the handlebars of both bikes on their carrier. Very comforting while rolling down the highway.

Actually, I just received a two camera setup made by E Sky and purchased on Ebay for about half the price of the one from Rear View Systems. Everything looks good. I will tackle the installation sometime next week. Hardest part will be routing the wiring through my Suburban and mounting the monitor. I will do a product review once it's installed.

I just got these in today:

I ran a quick test and since it is wifi the distance is great.  I was able to pick it up all the way from one side of the house to the other (through walls and all).

I didn't want to drill holes or anything which is why I went with the license plate one.  They were cheap enough that if they don't last it won't break the bank to replace them.  We'll see how it goes.
