Idk if you guess have ever watched Reponuts videos on youtube, hes a repo man but his trucks are always strung up with like 4 different camera angles, he has a body cam, head cam, portable cams that he sits on the ground, this dude is cam'd out! But the way he uses them during his repos are very smart and kinda make me jealous.

I also drive city bus. A coworker asked why I had my mirrors out so far when he drove it. I can see more to my side with the way these little convex mirrors are.

I know where the sides of my truck and bus are, it's the *******s I need to be in the lookout for.

You guys!!! I can backup my semi, with 53', 6 axle trailer, anywhere I want, usually the first time, with no problem. I backed my wife's little Focus, with reverse camera, into the garage, and put a nice mark that cost me $400 on the right rear corner. I no longer be nice and put her car away.

Yup! I have to be within an inch of the back wall to be able to close the door. Love the back-up camera for this.

for the strobes i tapped in and used a diode to prevent back feed.

Do you have, or can you take a picture of what the display (field of vision) for this camera looks like?

Thanks...

Not a great pic, but I'd say it's about 160° to 170° view. Anything else I can see out of my side mirrors obviously. Only thing that's tough about its location is that at night the camera is blinded by the plate light. Still may fix that with plate light bolts and unplugging the stock lights. But at the same time, I could just turn off my lights as needed when backing up at night. Haven't had a need for that yet after about a month of having the camera.

this seems like a great option for a forward facing camera as well. I need one of those. can't see a thing in front of my truck.
