Dick Foster of TTORA made his own setup like this a while back. But a commercially available one for those of us who don't have the time or skills necessary to do it sounds pretty sweet!

Chris, that's pretty cool.
Question for you; can you get good spotting with it? I mean to say can you accurately inch your way over an obstacle and be confident your axle, etc will clear it from the camera view?
Nice writeup.

I'll be in Moab Sept 28-Oct 2, so hopefully it will not be then, any other time would be great.

Chris-
I can't wait to see those cameras in person. I install surveillance equipment at work, so this would be extra cool to see for me. One question: Do they have the capability to pick up sound? I think it would be really cool to hear engine/transmission sounds depending on the terrain, etc.

that looks like a great system, its exciting too that they will offer an in dash kit. I wonder what features the in dash receiver will have. Just wondering, is your fuse box cover upside down? In my 4runner the handle is at the bottom, and you cannot see inside the fusebox from the handle.

No audio on these, just video. Hopefully you can check it out at the DeSoto run.

This is one of my non-done-yet additions to my 4Puter hehehe.
I took the idea of the new Discovery 3, that has a wireless cam than can be left near an obstacle to seeing yourself hehe.

I mentioned the X-10 version of the camera's that I was using earlier in the thread, but I forgot to mention the wireless as well for anyone who might be interested.

I have one of those and a reciever that I carry in the bag with the cameras I mentioned above. It has come in handy not so much for self spotting like the wired cameras, but more for shooting video from the perspective of someone laying on the trail or for watching the trail for newcomers while in camp.
Again, not as slick as some of the professional kits, but still useful
