Video from front parking camera with WiFi

[Gyrobob]

Is there a way to get video signal from a small camera to the touchscreen?

I have this camera https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09BNH6WTW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It requires 12v power and it transmits via its own WiFi to a smartphone. I have tried it out on the workbench just to verify functionality. It works really well in that test situaiton.

Is there a way to have the Tesla system use the little camera's WiFi and display its transmitted image?

No, you won’t be able to connect your third-party Dashcam to the touchscreen.

i powered up the camera. The car sees the camera's WiFi. (MRT-WiFi Camera_164b8c)

Then when I try to connect I get a message that says:

Unable to obtain IP address. Please check DHCP server settings

Sure it sees the wifi. It’s a publicly broadcasted SSID. Even if you could connect it won’t do anything. It’s not going to magically transfer the video to the screen. That would require software in the car which is made for the camera. Spend as much time as you want on it, but as I said - it won’t work.

It might work if you could get connected and view it in a browser. It would heavily depend on how good the implementation is in the camera, though. These things tend not to have great software, tbh.
