New to Arduino - would like to create wireless rear view camera with basic car back up camera

Hi There,
I'm new to Arduino, well not new but only have basic knowledge. I'd like to take the feed from a standard rearview camera and repeat it wirelessly. So simply take an off the shelf camera and display, cut the cable in half, and send the signal wirelessly from one end to the other using 2 Arduino's. To clarify, I don't want to render to a display, just to read from the camera and write back out to the cable at the other end to be processed by the display that came with the camera. Hopefully this makes sense? I'd love a pointer in the right direction if this is viable?...

Thanks,

Mark

if it helps the product I have is https://wolfbox.com/product/t10/ , the rear view camera is cabled to the display, that cable is the one I want to split and make wireless, the cable has 4 wires.

What do the 4 wires do? What voltages, what signals?

OK, not much help but I have no idea, to guess I'd say 2 are data and 1 live, 1 earth... and I've no idea on signal. I was hoping someone had already used a car rearview camera in a project. I'll see if there are any data sheets available.

This is what I've found so far, correction it's 12v

Product parameters:

AGC: Auto
BLC: Auto
White Balance: Auto
Video Color: Colorful
Image sensor: AHD H65 high-definition chip glass lens
Pixel: 1080p
Image format: NTSC/PAL
Diagonal viewing angle: 170 degrees
Rated voltage: DC12V
Protection level: IP67
Standard configuration: camera + 6m rear cable

ALL Arduino based wireless communication is MESSAGE based. Can you fit video into 32 byte messages set once every 30 ms.?

You appear to be mistaking an Arduino for some sort of video processor. :roll_eyes:

If the video is standard analog such as commonly conveyed by coaxial cables with yellow "phono" connectors, then what you want is called a "video sender".

If it is some other sort of video, then you have more problems. :thinking:

Might be well to point out the tx/rx units shown above can be bought complete off many places on the web , mostly for less than the cost of the Arduino boards alone, even to the point where they will include the camera itself as well. (AUD$28.00)

Thanks guys, I think it's obvious that my knowledge on this stuff is very limited, that video sender is probably what I need, I just didn't realise that the cable I have is actually just the above in a smaller capacity:

but looks like a would just need the following to solve that:

Thanks for your help.

Sounds plausible.

Bought all the stuff, will feedback for anyone wanting to do similar.

Thanks guys!

Just another example of the "You can use an Arduino to do anything" Internet meme.
