| 1350357 | 2013-08-02 01:40:00 | That is a bit harsh. At least Ninjabear is going out of his way to get a reverse car camera to reduce the risk of reversing into a child/object. Good on him.Damn shame that the standards of driver licence requirements weren't a bit harsher. I should care if his car gets scraped by a pole? But I do care when it comes to the risk of a kidlet being squished by a careless, incapable or incompetent driver. However I really didn't mean any offense to our Ninjabear; sorry. |

| 1350359 | 2013-08-03 06:35:00 | We've just booked our liftback model Mazda Atenza in to get a camera hooked up. The camera + screen are gonna be ballpark $250, plus install, I believe. I didn't really care about the price, it's more a case of not being able to see SFA out the back. Anything under about a meter (Most young kids) and you're basically completely blind to them if they walk behind you. $250+install to be sure we won't run over a kid is worth it IMO. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1350360 | 2013-08-03 07:14:00 | I went to a shop at avondale and got it installed today. So there's a 3.5 screen on right side just above the dashboard which hooks to the camera at the back. He did the install in front of me and it costed $280 which was quite reasonable. I had him loaded the camera to see what the quality of the picture looked like before I went ahead. He also adjusted the camera height to see if I was ok with it. He was quite friendly. I asked a few colleagues and friends and they all seem to have different types. Some have sensors in them but they were above $700 and I didn't find it was necessary to have one Sometimes the kid is of a short height and your boot blocks the view from seeing them so I thought maybe I should invest on one. The shop wanted me to go for a DVD/GPS/BLuetooth/Camera device but that was $500. I rather watch DVD at home thanks.lol |

| 1350363 | 2013-08-08 08:44:00 | We had a reversing camera in our last vehicle but I could never get used to it so it did not help me at all when backing out. It may have been the camera but the picture wasn't exactly ultra sharp and it was still hard to judge how close one was to objects and walls. I hope you guys have better results. | FoxyMX (5) | ||

| 1350365 | 2013-08-13 04:52:00 | Would an eraser be an economical reverse camera? ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
