Project: Backup Camera

SL has a problem. He can't go to Costco without buying electronics every time. Call it a compusion, an addiction, or a skill. But this time he came back with something I objectively consider relatively unnecessary: a backup camera. Yes, a camera mounted to the rear license plate of a vehicle to aid in parking and backing-up. But, never to shun from an electronics project, I prepared to assist with the automotive surgical enhancement. Opening the package, I realize the device is completely wireless and transmits to the front-seat LCD wirelessly. Still cool, but this endeavor was far from surgical. All we had to do was stick the camera on the license plate with included mount, splice it to power source (license plate light), and plug the LCD into a power source up front. Believe it or not, this installation was as easy as my License Plate LED Frame. I may even considering getting one for the van.
