Safety Star Backup Camera

Couldn’t find a natural home for this post so I created one.

I had been wanting to install a backup camera on my 1939 instead of having my son stand outside and yell if a neighbor kid darted behind me while backing out. But it was important that it be mounted incognito and not require a screen inside the car. I noticed the light on my safety star was roughly the diameter of one of those cheapo WiFi backup cameras on Amazon. Plus I already had 12v there so…

It took a little bit of measuring and I had to fabricate a bracket, but I now have an incognito backup camera that transmits video to my iPhone. From 3ft away it looks like any other Safety Star. After reversing I put away the iPhone and there are no wires, screen, etc.

Daric,

I love this! I would like to do this on my 51. Could you tell us what brand, etc. is this so I can find it either on Amazon or elsewhere?

Thanks!!

Jeff
