360 degree bird view camera

Seen this on a factory 2015 Mercedes Benz s class. Now they have it aftermarket. Anyone use these systems yet?

 

Thread #2

 

They are pretty cool. We installed one for a customer last week in Florida. I don’t see a need for one on my truck but for bigger vehicles like RVs they would be great.

 

How do they work? A camera for each corner?

 

We have installed a couple of different systems. Front, back, and sides cam at the midpoint on each. We lay out a grid around the vehicle then calibrate the view for each camera. Then you can program the unit to what views you want in what situations. Backing up can split screen what is behind you and an overhead view or you can set up triggers for left or right views when you hit the blinkers. You can add DVR's to record. We do commercial fleet installs, so they are big cams, and lots of wiring. I wouldn't want it hanging off my Tundra, but there are some out there with smaller cams that would look better if you can work out the mounting and routing. I see some cheap ones on Ebay.

 

Sounds like this can replace the Frac system all together

 

I am tempted to pick up one of these. Check out this install video of one that can be purchased on Amazon.
