Surround Camera output to recorder?

Having seen some film using "action cams" it got me wondering Idea The surround camera system obviously outputs to the screen in the dash, but is there some means of "tapping into" it electronically to have it record to some form of solid state recorder Shocked Would be great for off-road action videos Thumbs Up

Have also been thinking about the possibility of adding a plug in camera for the back of the caravan. Anybody any thoughts on this.

Im interested also in a addon camera.

Did you know that the cameras record all the time on a loop basis to solid state storage and that, in the event of an accident, the recorded data could be used to prove your own negligence?

Hi
I dont see why you couldnt record all the images as I deal with emergency service equipment sector there is a unit that records multiple images but its not cheap all that would have to be done was each camera lead would have to be split and a splitter RCA socket added in if it doesnt already have it.
Because of all the signals and extra cabling you might also need a video amplfication unit to get the picture to stay sharp.
Hope this helps
cheers

Yes Russell i have an idea Smile

I need to do some more digging about in the wireing diagrams to get my head round a few things first.
There should be a camera module under the left front seat where all the camers wires connect that we can possibily utilise.

The rear camera also connects in the top of the roof at the rear where it goes into a loom for the rear camera which we may be able to use.


To confirm, if you had a camera on the rear of your caravan, you would not need one on the rear of the car looking at the caravan ?

Pete

PS, can you have the cameras active while you are driving forwards ? And if so is there a speed restriction to it ?
Ive thoughts of TV/DVD via the camera module Smile

Sounds like another reason not to go for the surround cameras Big Cry I knew that there was a buffer in the main ECU's that recorded speed, braking etc for a few seconds prior to a serious collision, but didn't know precisely what triggered it, nor indeed that the cameras also had a solid state buffer Bow down - any idea on its size (Gb/mins)? and how to play back from it?

My cameras work moving forwards - not sure if they have a speed limit - if so, I haven't found it yet - but I try to keep looking through the windscreen when travelling (forward!) at speed Wink
Add-on camera at back of trailer would be even more useful than the standard reversing camera IMHO.

If they do record it must be into the Satnav screen where the HD is stored.
I know the new system with the HD does not take dvd's as the old ones and its updated via a dedicated diag port.
but im unsure what info that can be sucked out of the same port.

Cool, then i think i can come up with some addon using LR parts and a mixture of other bits for a rear caravan camera.

Ill need to do some tests as soon as my car arrives on the 28th to confirm, unless anyone is in York before then and is brave eniough to let me look at there wiring Smile
I recon we can use the rear camera wires for the caravan camera and possibily putting a multi wire relay in there to swap between the 2.
An extra caravan camera socket next to the trailer light sockets.
And i think we can possibile have a switch added next to that so you can flick over to the caravan camera when you plug the lights in.

I recon the yellow line will be the easy bit Smile



Can anyone provide me in PM a chassis number, i need it to locate parts on Microcat catalouge for the correct model.
It wont get used at any dealers or be publicly shown.

thanks for that, yes you are right about the connector at the back, it is in the trim at the back of the roof by the top tailgate where a number have mounted LED's. I have already found that and been playig with that. Yes you are right, I would not need the car rear camera if the caravan was on so could use this as the feed to the screen for the caravan camaera, this is what I have been looking at.
As for the cameras, they are supposed to be speed related, but I know they still work upto and in excess of the speed limit Whistle
I am currently at work but can PM you a chassis number later tonight when I get home if you want. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up
