Looking for a basic cam

[russ331]

Novatek or Zoran?

If you value buffered motion & g-sensing, choose Zoran.

Buffered motion not so much. G sensing yes.

 

[jokiin]

they both have G sensor

 

[russ331]

they both have G sensor

But will both record the, say, 5 seconds preceding the impact if it happens when the vehicle is parked?

no, but that's the pre buffer

Looks like I will be going with the 665gc.

Nice choice

Nice choice

I see in your sig that you have both the 665gc and the panorama s. which do you prefer?

Would be tough to choose only one. They are totally different in form, and both have their strengths and weaknesses in my opinion. SG is very stealthy and the night video is superb. I think both are equal in daytime with the Panorama doing a little better because it is not right next to the window. However, taking everything in consideration I would choose the SG9665GC as my only camera if i had to make that choice.

I purchased both from @Pier28 so I not only have two outstanding cameras, I also have without any doubt, the best service available. I am not qualified to actually review these cameras, but I wanted to answer your question as accurately as possible. I feel you will be well served with the SG9665GC that you have purchased.

Now, any suggestions for a backup cam / rear view cam that can connect to a aftermarket stereo?

 

[jokiin]

you basically need to buy whichever mount type suits your vehicle

 

[Shadowpr]

Most likely a flush mount. I can drill a hole for it.

 

[jokiin]

these are the popular mount types http://streetguardian.info/products/safety-view-systems/reverse-cameras?limit=12 you can get vehicle specific types for some vehicles also, the ones we do are generally the smaller type as they're more discrete when fitted, you should be able to find the same style in your market

Would pier 28 be able to get them?

 

[jokiin]

anything we have is available to them, maybe not practical though for one off type stuff due to freight costs

 

[jokiin]

just thinking about it actually I did give Jon some samples previously, maybe he has something still, not sure

does this look like a quality cam: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Accessories/Rear-View-Cameras/ND-BC8

i have a pioneer headunit now.

ideally, i want something that can record and save to sd card, but will display on headunit when in reverse.

 

[jokiin]

Can't view your link right now will check it later

That seems like it will take quite a bit of engineering, I'm curious to see what is suggested.
