[A/S] Video cameras for truck & Airstream...



Hi,

I was reading Airstream e-mails. Someone mentioned the availability 
of video cameras... so I followed the yellow brick road to Sam's 
Club. There I found a most interesting box for sale. The box 
contained two wide angle video cameras with 60' of cable  with each 
camera; a 5.5" black & white video 12 DC volt monitor with 350 
horizontal lines & 450 verticle lines.  The Monitor takes the 2 
cameras.  It will alternate between the cameras or selectively show 
either one. There is also a power supply for 110 vac.  I acquired 
this little peek-a-boo gem for $79.91.  It also has audio on both 
cameras for those wanting to receive voice assistamce while using 
this system. After reading the instructions, I tried this system out 
on the dining room table. it really works very well. I have made 2 
small plastic brackets(2" x 4").  These little brackets  that I have 
made, are cut out of 1/4" sheet plastic. The camera base slips in and 
out for easy for mounting or removal. One bracket is mounted on the 
rear cap of the truck and the other is mounted on the rear of the 
Airstream. I used silicone to hold the braackets in place.  The 
monitor sets on the dash in front of me. I made a 30" power cable to 
plug into the 12 volt DC lighter power adapter on the dash.  I leave 
one cable in the cap where I can plug it into the camera when I slip 
it into the little mounting bracket.  I let the cable come in thru 
the back sliding window. I plug this into number #1 on the back of 
the monitor(only when coupling).  The 2nd camera, I slip into its 
bracket on the back of the Airstream (only when I am backing). I run 
out the connecting cable at that time. NOTE: These cameras also have 
6 low light infrared sensors that will give you a picture in very low 
light conditions. 

Thank you dear friend(where ever you are) for mentioning that this 
product exists.  The box is labeled ACHIEVER SECURITY; Miami, Florida 
33015.
