Though the vast majority of people (here especially) would probably add a backup camera with a new radio or separate display, this is still an interesting and unique solution. Would this work with multiple cameras (likely with app changes) ?

Do you know offhand what version(s)/configurations of Android this supports?

I'm in software development, but haven't used Android studio since university.
Android usb backup camera app code#
On the software side: I didn't have a chance to look through the code much, but how does the app get a signal to start displaying video? Is it just when the camera starts outputting video or is there separate wiring for triggering it? What's the quality of the video like in motion? Between the relatively small video size on a phone and the less than stellar reviews of USB video capture devices like that, it seems like it would've been easier to just buy a display like this ( ) which is about the same price as the video capture device but gives a larger display (and likely clearer due to not needing to convert the video) and could be easily mounted/wired without needing your phone connected every time you want to use it.
This pesky grommet in the hatch is the hardest part of feeding the wires, so this pic shows how it comes off: Partly remove the headliner, unwrap the electrical tape that goes around the wires and that long strand of rubber, then pop off the grommet from aboveĭefinitely interesting, I have a few questions/thoughts: The 'easycap' device converts the camera's composite video to UVC (USB webcam interface) USB hub allows phone to connect to camera and charge at the same time I haven't yet figured out why the view is translucent. The camera feed pops up over top of whatever else is going on when the car is in reverse, and then vanishes when you go into neutral. This cam mounts using the license plate screws, but it partly obstructs the trunk open button, so I may make a custom bracket for it soon The hub also has a USB-C input for fast charging the phone, and I intend to also use it for wired audio via a USB sound card, but that's not working yet due to Android limitations. This is then attached to a USB hub, which then connects to my phone via a USB extension cable. An 'easycap' device converts that into digital video using the UVC protocol. This is done with a standard cheapo reverse cam, which outputs composite video over an RCA cable (ancient technology). There was a lot of debugging to get it to work, and I had to write a custom app, but it works! I can be driving along with my phone in the dash mount displaying google maps, then when I go into reverse gear, the camera feed is superimposed overtop of whatever else is happening on the phone, and then you go back into neutral, the camera feed disappears again. My 2011 has the basic headunit that doesn't support a reverse cam, and I don't want to replace it with some cheapo android headunit (and can't afford a nice headunit!) so I've made my smartphone display the reverse camera feed.
