Not sure why they took so long to arrive from the monitor which was ordered at the same time, I think from the same company, but the important thing is they did arrive.
This is the monitor in place inside Nina, as you can see, it's very revel give and works as a normal mirror too, but when you switch the monitor on it backlights and the reflection disappears pretty much.
This is one of the cameras just after I'd picked it up from the Royal Mail depot. First impressions were that they are made very well, the body, shade and bracket are all made of metal, and the camera is weather sealed. Looking forward to seeing the quality together with the monitor.
Although you can't really see from this photo, it's a very good picture, clear and sharp, the night vision works brilliantly lighting up most of our office in complete darkness. Yes that's my ugly mug taking a picture of myself on the monitor :S.
Looking forward to wiring all this in, but that's a way off yet, got lots of things to do beforehand.
Something else I ordered and that came around the same time, was a 12v amplifier for the back when it's converted. I will incorporate it into a control panel somewhere so that you can only see the front controls, along with an iPod dock that can be controlled by remote control, which I already have and in fact used in Scooby (T4).
You aren't going to believe how much these things cost ! They are SO expensive ! Even buying from Hong Kong. I paid almost SIX pounds for this, delivered. Disgusting :P. Yep, £5.99 delivered from Hong Kong. You'd have every right to think well it must be junk for that kind of money, and I'm sure Audiophiles out there will carry on thinking that once they've heard it, but for me with my humble ears, it sounds fantastic when connected up to my Toshiba Surround sound speakers I had with an old TV. You really wouldn't want anything better to sit and listen to music to in the back of Nina on a campsite somewhere.
I thought it was such a good deal, I've ordered another one to set up next to the bed to listen to music to there.
The eBay seller I bought them from was virtualvillage-uk-delta.
Takes 2-3 weeks to come, but at that price I'm not complaining.
