Default New Idea

Markcz and Dennis Drummer I wonder what it would take to put a small camera in each wheel well looking at the back of the tire and the brakes? Cameras, wire, hardware are a given what I need help with is some kind of switch box that I could use to control the inputs to the HU. Now before you ask I am not sure why I want to do this but I think it would be pretty cool to be able to accurately monitor your wheels and tire realtime. I guess you could use go pro cameras but I was hopping for a little less cost. Think it can be done?

Just rig a switch to select one camera at a time

Sounds like a fun project.

You could use a switch box like this one with four $20 rear view cameras.

The PFYC ZO6 project car (click here) did something like that. Click on the video links.

Now we are cooking. I am thinking of mounting inside wheel wells showing the brake calipers but maybe lower to also show forward and rear views. I will build a bracket for one and mess around with a little. Thanks
