Morning all,
I have a 2017 Renault Master Extra High top and wish to install a reversing/rear view camera ( It has one already built into the stereo, but A. Its not very good and B. I want to use it to keep an eye on my bikes and trailer, which i can only do when going backwards & C. I plan to upgrade the stereo at some point.
Ive seen plenty of wired ones available and have read the wireless ones can pickup other cameras etc, so i'm going to go with a wired one with a dash switch so i can switch on when on the move and just cast an eye over my bikes, trailer etc.
My question is i wanted to mount the camera high up so i can see the bike racks as well as whats behind, but wondered whats the best way in from the roof/door?
I realise i may have to drill a hole, which i dont really want to do, but will if i have to and whats the best way to keep the water out? the thickest part of the wiring is only about 7mm so not a big hole but would be better if i could put it somewhere that didnt require drilling.
Also as the van is already fitted out i think the best way would be to run the wire in conduit under the van and into the battery box and up to the dash that way.
Thanks in advance
