Multi-camera / Quad-camera solution for Model S / X

[rooter]

Agh, disappointing. I thought these are network cameras, and had a DVR function.

I guess I'll have to build a system myself. Only problem is getting stitching software.

Network camera make so much more sense!!! Bear. Can you make a network camera version? I will buy it!

Hello Tommy hope all is well. Are you still working on this.?

Tommy
Any updates on this?

Just joined. I have a 2015 S AP1 which I love, except .... I'm looking for two things: cameras to assist parking and blind spot alert or view while driving. I see BearBu developed one and is working on the other. Is there (or will there soon be) a system to do both?

 

[Akikiki]

Yes, BearBu has done that. Its unlikely that anyone else is working on another system. You might be able to find a front camera kit that someone did not install yet. That kit was developed in 2014 and repeated in 2018. But production was stopped and it was sold only owner to owner, not a retail product. BearBu is your best bet. His is an impressive and clever system.

 

[DgoDoug]

Bearbu, what exactly should I purchase.

sorry man. Project development has been postponed due to the coronavirus, sigh.

Just to get you guys a good news that we have cracked the image from the Tesla fender (side) cameras (RGB, not RCCC). Next step is to convert and fine-tune the image for more integration to our QUAD-cam board. Moreover, this is only cool for AP0 and AP1 model S guys (for those doesn't have side-camera installed). Currently AP2 and above Model S/X cannot use this solution with your in-car fender camera because the signal bridge/pass-thru has not been solved, still trying.

Stay healthy! Be strong.

Awesome news. If you need an AP1 car to test with let me know. I have a 2016 AP1.

Be safe and thanks for keeping us updated. This is definitely a must have.

Good hustle, @BearBu ! Looking forward to seeing what this setup will look like once complete.

I’m anxious to get this system going...using the factory fender camera is a MUST

 

[Akikiki]

You are going to need to replace your current car with a newer car that uses factory fender cameras. Because AP1 does not have factory fender cameras.

@BearBu is working on creating a system that will use AP2/AP2.5 fender cameras that you install on your pre-AP2 vehicle in place of the fender badge/turn signal.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

thanks,

Mike - saved my bacon again.

 

[BearBu]

Sorry for the belated project update, as I have been messed up with the part number issue of the fender camera (there are so many versions for fender camera and there is some image color different from different version), anyway, will figure out soon!

here is the first image captured from fender and displayed on the screen FYI. Hope I can post more pics / videos after the image colour fine-tune (that’s the most time-consuming part)

Looks like I came back into this thread at the perfect time! Promising news for AP0 and AP1 owners! Think these repeater cameras will give the same coverage as the mirror mounted 360 cameras?

 

[AZP85]

Looks promising now. I would really like to install AP2/AP2.5 on my Pre AP S and just use them for blindspot cameras.
I would be ideal to have the option to have them up all the time like the rear camera can, or the option have have the left or right camera come up on the screen when you put on your turn signal.

 

[Wratran]

I agreed on using the side camera to monitor blind spot....maybe have it to record activity around the car...like sentry mode

Should better get the AP2.5 or later camera because the image quality of the AP2.0 camera is "weird". Low intensity, low brightness and the white balance is "red tendency", very very hard to tune to be normal/realistic.

You are suggested to consider the 360 system as it has the recording function. This quad-cam solution is a simply display function of left/right fender when you trigger the turn signal. For normal status (D/N/P), the image of front camera is displayed
