I've read most of the discussions on cameras. One of the things that gives me a laugh is the gender stereotyping correlate to the type of vehicle, but also modification preferences. It's all in good humour and I approve (though I'm definitely not that laddish myself) ... so stuff like 'I bought her a gaylander' or 'she wants cameras' or 'she dunt feel safe'. I've literally been wiping the tears LOL. Anyway. My Samsung's back at the factory so I can't take a picture of the front of the house, so I'll briefly try to explain.
I live in a suburb next to the town's acute hospital. At the front of the house, imagine a 2 car hard standing with an eight foot wall either side that butts to the pedestrian pavement either side. Invariably you have to drive onto the hard standing as the traffic is a nightmare morning and nights. The pedestrian traffic is the same, as the hospital has hundreds of staff and patients walking past my house daily. I need to come and go in my landy throughout the day. There are no rear side windows in my defender 90. Even the butchest, hairy-necked, arse scratching commentators on here (those of you who cough up flem and spit it into the urinal to mark your territory with an angry frown to warn fellow wee'rs that you're not gay) will appreciate that safety for others is a concern, and allow the idea of rear cameras to be considered 'necessary' rather than 'weak'?
So. Things have moved on a bit in the tech world from a lot of previous discussions. I'm definitely going to have to get a split screen two camera set up in the next week or two. Each camera is going to have to be positioned in the rear top corners to catch the pedestrians as the tailgate is moving out (I can see out of the rear window, so that's not an issue. It's the pedestrians on the pavement I don't want to kill). Has anyone seen an example of cameras embedded into the corners of the roof body, on brackets, or d'ya think I'm gonna have to buy a roof bar and mount them on that? Also, good suppliers/makes much appreciated. I could've jusy posted "When reversing out of my drive, I don't want to kill anyone (or move)" but then all the responses would have involved stuff along the lines of the long narrative above. Cheers me dears
