Not meaning to hijack this thread, but I'm real glad this to see traffic on this thread again. I'm looking to purchase 3 or 4 external cams and a couple of interior cams and have been looking for some side by side comparisons of the picture quality, etc.. But I've only been able to find old...

I just came across this website and thought some here might find it useful... Aviosys.com They have two particular items of interest, a remote on/off switch that can be accessed over the internet via IP and a stepper motor which can also be controlled over IP. Taiwan manufacturer so the...

What? And put the cats out of work?!! :o

Thanks Electron! From zero to sixty camera options in less than six seconds... ;) I guess I'll pick up whatever DVR card strikes my fancy (and budget) for now. Once again, thanks for the help. Cheers, Ed T.

BSR - the link for the 4 amp model has an errant back slash at the end and doesn't work (at least in Safari). Try this one instead. Cheers, Ed T.

Thanks for the welcome! I have been searching for CocoonTech for years now. I had just about given up hope on finding a resource such as this. Although my Google-Fu is very strong, CocoonTech never came up during searches. Instead I just found a couple of promising DIY accounts mixed in with...

Hehe, if it's not the fine print, it's usually the shipping and handling charges... ;) Actually, that's pretty important fine-print and should most definitely be more prominently displayed in his auction. Have you looked at the Lilliput TS monitors? They're big in carputer applications...

It does look very promising, but make sure to read the fine print, "This auction is for the screen only. To hook it up you may need a lcd controller, inverter, and a touchscreen controller, depending on your level of technical skill.". Cheers, Ed T.
