CarPC Project: Future Enhancement Idea for Side View Video Input

My project basically has about 5 phases which is listed below.

  1. Design
  2. Build
  3. Test
  4. Install
  5. Video Input Enhancement

My future plan after my CarPC build and installation is complete will be to add another monitor in the dash dedicated to a constant video feed from the side view mirrors. I’m still working out the details on the design but this will be cool once completed. I also want my rear view camera to be a constant feed as well rather than switching only when I reverse.

I don’t want to use a video “switch” design because that would cause for manual intervention at some point. I want one display with two (split) views, the right side view and the left side view (similar to what is used in video surveillance).

I am really leaning towards making this design independent from my CarPC though, because if something happens to my PC or something I will lose the video. It would be nice to find a reasonably priced, smaller solution similar to “video wall processing”.
