+1. Might even stick my head out the window and congratulate him on how quick the car accelerates.Dodgy camera(s) or not, that was funny as hell. I'd have given him a friendly wave and thumbs up as I passed.
Still didn't show the Camaro approaching from the side, which a true 180+ camera would have done, so it doesn't work, in fact I think my single lens mini 0806 has a wider view since that can see the pillars both sides of the windscreen while this didn't come close to seeing either pillar!It looks like 2 cams which were merged together in a video editor before posting.
2 wide angle cams aimed well can give well beyond a 180 degree view in many cars, but edge distortion now lands in the middle up front, and with the glass well curved in front of their centers you can get more optical distortion from that too As you can see, the results aren't perfect but it's good enough to prove the cammer's place in traffic

@Nigel - trying to compare this camera to any other is like... well...Still didn't show the Camaro approaching from the side, which a true 180+ camera would have done, so it doesn't work, in fact I think my single lens mini 0806 has a wider view since that can see the pillars both sides of the windscreen while this didn't come close to seeing either pillar!
Isn't that just that they have one of the front windows a little open?Not only is it poor quality but it has a vision issue at the centre critical point. Maybe it is a home-made 180 degree camera/s.
