Interesting... If I 'open image in new tab' on Chrome, I go to the red vert image in dropbox. If I just click on the link, I get the empty white box with the eternal spinning load indicator.

I didn't think this would show up as I was in the 'test' forum. I have spent a ton of time organizing my pictures in 'dropbox' after F/B asked me for $$$$. I've never been good at this 'computer' stuff so I'm looking for something 'easy'. Damn F/B...

But while I'm here...a picture of my back-up camera in the rear view mirror. https://dl.dropbox.com/s/sqxx95irgie2x24/2017-08-21%2015.50.50.jpg?dl=0
Now if I can figure out how to get the picture to show up instead of the link I'll be a happy man.

I was wondering why a test picture post had so much activity, now I know! Good job!
Who makes the backup camera/mirror?

Don, I will get the make and model on Monday from the installer. As usual, my records are a mess

Integrate a forward facing camera and a DVR into that rear-view, rear-view mirror and you will have a winning product! Rear view camera / 2-channel dash cam combo!

Dave.0 Helix & RMW PoweredLifetime SupporterYup and nothing is better evidence in court than a video of an idiot hitting you if that ever happens.
I hope you never need the video. -
agranger MINI of the Month June 2009Supporting MemberYep. But I'm serious... It's amazing how crappy most of the solutions are in the auto DVR market. Most are horribly-made POS in tacky form factors. You would think that it would be fairly easy to make a simple forward bullet camera, rear bullet camera and DVR assembly (to be hidden somewhere inside the car), but nobody seems to have done it yet.

Dave.0 Helix & RMW PoweredLifetime SupporterTake your idea to the show "shark tank". :lol:

agranger MINI of the Month June 2009Supporting MemberThe problem with this market is as soon as you develop a form factor that is thoughtful, 100 knock-offs will appear in the market and undercut your sales at 1/3rd the price. There are a couple of solid companies that sell dashcams in the US, but they are usually $300 or so in a sea of $100 competitors. Sure... the $300 has much better hardware and software quality, but a $200 savings speaks to a lot of folks.
