Intalled and removed a HTC35 backup camera today, the image as so blurry that nothing could be made out. I guess it could just be broken but I dont' want to take a chance on another one.

Anyone using one of these ebay CCD cameras?

yeah but i would pay 90 buck for it

 

Huh? You mean you wouldn't pay $90 for it? It's about that much. A lot more than the cheapie cmos camereas but hopfully worth it.

 

i was just saying im sure you could find it for less than 90. there have been guys who bought the 25 dollar cams and posted pics of the quality and it was great

 

Have a front and back ccd they cost me 90 bucks each on Ebay might have been Yantech of the other one, it is a Husband who stole the wifes business and she started here own , not sure if she is Yantech, I would have to go thru my paypal , Anyway have the cams on for a year now funny thing since I have to bring the truck in for tierods and the heater is banging I wanted to be sure the wiring for the Lock Pick was not in the way anywhere. I hope they don't have anything to say about it.....

Off track the cameras are working great, only issue is the black paint is gone and a copper colour is showing, out of warranty, I would have to contact Sharp but not worth the bother just touched em up with black paint all is good. Picture is really good , as it can get for the screen, for fun I used my laptop as the back up screen and wow was that nice and clear. Anyway ccd vs cmos....I have a 25 dollar cmos camera still I sold one, picture was not horrendous just I didn't know they were not reversable, so on the front everything was on the wrong side was freaky.

 

72,

Thanks for the reply, I just ordered one. How do you reverse the image?

I also have the lockpick, think the dealer will try to void warranties if they find it?

 

I hope not well my radio is not the original anywayj that is all it is hooked to the radio. Mine is located in the center console and well my heater is banging so I have to take it in they most likely will see it I checked to be sure none of the wires were in the way. Hopefully it is just another computer update. Yantech is where I bought mine, they work great so far since September last year. It's cool to have a front and back if you are putting in the rear handle yourself it comes with the correct bit, works great. Only thing is the video cable is maybe too short depending where you come in at. Also it is not made for under the truck duties, i put mine in plastic wire loom hopefullly it lasts.

 

Oh to reverse direction there is a jumper on the end of the wires, you will see and instructions tell you what to do.
