So here I am trying to figure out where to put this front-facing camera... or where to put two of them if I go that route. Everything is a compromise! In this video, I show you the options I came up with and the pros/cons of them... I'm not saying I'm going to listen to you, lol, but tell me what you think! hahaha
The stereo is a Seicane Model S18JP25 -- http://bit.ly/S18JP25

Here's the link to the USB adapter that I used for the install: http://amzn.to/2gT0eaG
Here's the link to the GPS antenna adapter that I used for the install: http://amzn.to/2xj8iwb
Here's a link to the Touch Commander SiriusXM receiver I showed in this video: http://amzn.to/2xjbPuh
Android 7.1 10.1 inch 1024*600 HD Touchscreen Radio Head Unit
It comes with a Quad Core 1.6 GHz processor, 16GB of internal memory (expandable with MicroSD or USB storage) and 2GB of RAM.
I was looking for a pure Android (7.1 preferred) head unit that would allow me to tweak it the way I wanted. Let's hope this handles what I need!
It does work with factory Alpine stereo upgrade!

ReplyDeleteI like the center mount to start, then if you add more cameras with a switch box then do the fenders. Also, maybe think of a place where an aim-able camera with a servo could benefit you, like say pointing the center left to right.
ReplyDeleteCan the video be saved?
ReplyDeleteCenter is all you will ever need. Looks great.
ReplyDeleteWhere you had it was a very good spot. However. I would do the dual cameras with a switch. Here's why. The first camera will show the obstacles as you approach from a few feet away, then when you are basically about to go over the obstacle you can switch camera views to get an even better look as you begin to climb over it. The good part is you can always move the cameras around to fit your needs on the trails.

ReplyDeleteWhat kind of water proof rating does the camera have?
ReplyDeletedid you take the light bar off because of the noise?lol
ReplyDeleteWhere's the kitchen sink?
ReplyDeleteCenter looks great that's probably what I would do. Like the tire view but thinking it would be a pain to mount and change if you decided
ReplyDeleteWhat about on the back side of the bumper to the side of the light mount pointing at the tire, but I say just the single middle looks great
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not I have all 3 cameras you thought about there. They're running through a kenwood headunit. I'm using a on/off/on horizontal switch on the a pillar and this : http://amzn.to/2h45Hiw to switch between them. My center camera is actually mounted on the tie rod as of Saturday. I had it on a skid plate underneath so i could see the diff and that didn't go well. The two side cameras are mounted on the fender flare liners on the OEM front flares. If you're interested I can provide pictures (unless on the off chance you're going the Oakridge down in VA this weekend, in which case I'll show you in person).
ReplyDeleteDead Center like you started the video, but instead of sitting on bottom of the center opening in front of the light bar causing an annoying shadow, Flip it over and mont it directly above where you had it. That could also give you the ability to focus down a bit more and see whats a few a foot or so closer in to see whats between the Tires and the Crowbar. The picture on the head unit seemed to have a lot of "Blue Sky" at the top that your eyes would be seeing and you wouldn't need a camera to see.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought but maybe one on each of the inside bottom of the bumper inlined with the tires.
ReplyDeleteCenter looked good. Would there be a way to mount one on each wing of bumper
ReplyDeleteI would test the positions again at night with your lights on.. Just a thought.. Looking good..
ReplyDeleteCan you put the cam on the underside of the fender? If so use three cams. One under each fender and one in the middle and switch to the one you need at that time.
ReplyDeleteCan I just say how bad ass this head unit series you are doing on your channel is! I like the center mount. Quick question though with that on front do you still get the auto reverse camera?
ReplyDeleteI know you already have the camera but what about a pseudo (or real) fisheye lens? That might get you almost everything you need to see and you'd be able to mount it in the center. Of course, the fisheye lens has a pretty weird image to have to look at and it could be distracting or even worse, the image could get distorted as you near the edge - which is exactly where you need it focused the most. And also true fisheye lens can cost $$. Cheap ones are sort of sketchy. Anyway, my vote is for the center.
ReplyDeleteLine up with the right tire - if you want it for rock spotting, you can always lean out for the driver side and this way you know. But don't just mount it, get a small plexi box that can be mounted without worrying about splashes//rocks in the fender
ReplyDeleteI like it where you have it at it has a great view of what you can't see
ReplyDeleteWhat launcher are you using?! I have the exact same unit and I'm working through this install stuff at the same time as you. Can't wait to see more videos on making this thing work well.
ReplyDeleteYou could get real creative and go underneath the vehicle near the transfer case pointing forward. Then you could see obstacles as they approach the tire. Of course protection is a consideration.
