Ohh
i didn't think about the power supply.

Whats the price of a USB receiver?

 

[napster]

its somewhere around 3k including shipping and handling

i have silicon system on my ride, im planning to get a night vision camera to serve the reverse gear purpose and also the front cam prpose as my windshield is tinted with 20% visibility..smetimes when i go out in the night on highways i find it a bit difficult in rain so thought of getting a camera on the front too. :D:)

@karthik: thanks dude :). i think im the first to install my own carputer setup in TAI and also around A.P

Dude i'll suggest get a cam with infrared lights around it.
Those will help in nightvision
For the front bumper you can put infrared lights which will help the for better visibility.
Have you ever seen the effect of an infrared light on picture clarity??

 

[napster]

thats it, i meant a ir camera with ir leds around it for my purpose, i wonder if i can get aIR full size light so that i can drive without even switching on my head lamp :D
and IR cameras show only black & white images but that will do the job

Excellent man! You have done a wonderful job. I had gone through your document and its well written (of course from a techy angle). I will go through it again and will come up with more questions for you I am planning to do the same for my car too. Need to analyze the pros & cons though. I will be in touch with you !
