I don't have a monitor in my car. Can it be hooked up to a cell phone camera? Maybe thru the cars auxiallary input?

That's kind of a hard question the cables are just standard video cables going into the monitor it would ultimately depend on your phone and then you would have to buy the cable to go from the video cables to your phone. My suggestion would be just to buy a monitor as well. They're fairly cheap and have a good picture, as well as fairly easy to Install and work. You will also need additional cable to run the length of your vehicle as the camera only comes with like a foot of cables.

to my knowledge there is no cell phone that has the option of video inputs of this size.

Do I need to have something else to view the video on this camera or can I just connect to a monitor and thats it? I dont want to record, just real time monitoring for my garage. What I want to do, is to have a camera wired to my room's tv, so whenever someone is getting close to my garage entrance, I can see from my tv, instead of going to the garage entrance.. will this work?

No, you need an external monitor with composite input. In my case I installed a double din stereo receiver with touchscreen LCD, and it had the correct inputs for the camera.

Yes. This has a video input. It uses a mini plug, to be used as an external monitor for an external video source, such as a camcorder.

I have it setup on 2 cars - Video Only. It may have an audio feature because there are audio cables (not sure - as i dont have any audio in my cars - because used the monitor to connect to the rear parking cameras for a video signal only)...

This actually has nothing to do with your car. This is a stand-alone 'spy' camera that is in a case that looks like a car remote. So you can put it on your key-chain and use it to record video without it looking like you have a camera. I don't use mine for that - I actually just wanted a very small video camera to put on a remote control helicopter. I removed the insides from the car remote case and velco'ed them to my helicopter. It takes reasonable video and is very small/light.

I made this mistake too, this is a camera to be used with a CCTV which means you already have a monitor to be seen on, it's not a stand alone camera, as I think you are looking for. I didn't read the specifications properly and now I have to send it back and I ordered a WiFi / IP Camera, which can be easily set up through the computer or mobile device, you do need a current network to set it up (In case you are thinking of using it for the summer cabin or something, just an example) With IP / WiFi surveillance cameras you can set up to be recorded whether its video or pictures every period of time, although you need a computer and it has to be left on to record. I bought a Foscam FI8910W and I'm happy with it, I've playing around with it and it would do for the purpose I wanted it for, check every now and then how things are running at a work place. Hope this helps.

It would, you just have to manage to provide power to the camera. I in that case I would use a regular usb cable and a battery bank (like those used for cellphones) to supply power to the unit while your car is parked. This way you won't worry about draining your car's battery while the camera is recording.

Doubt it would work for that. Battery life is fairly short, it's set up for cigarette lighter power. The camera has a pretty wide angle but unless they happen to look directly into the camera when the lighting was good or parked their vehicle in the camera angle it would be of no benefit. Picture what you can see through your windshield, if they vandalized the side or back of you car it wouldn't catch them even if the battery was still good and the motion sensor turned it on.

Yes you will have to buy a monitor to go with this. Unless you have an in dash dvd player or navigation unit that has an input for a backup camera in which case no you wouldn't.

no this comes with a rearview camera that hooks to your stereo if you have LCD monitor with the plug for a rearview camera

I suppose you could hook this camera up to your phone. It would be cumbersome, but possible. Personally, I would not use this method.

The camera doesn't connect to directly to the monitor. It connects to your wireless/wired network, so as long as whatever software you choose works on your computer and is compatible with camera you should be ok

Don't see why not, though I never tried it. I assume your going to stream from your phone to this device--should work in your car.

Sorry for the late reply, yes you can hook up a backup camera to this screen. I would suggest buying one, its not expensive at all

Yes you can, and I was able to sync camera with the monitor however the minute I was more then few feet away I lost signal. I had to return. It may have just be a bad item that I received but I ended up just buying new system
