Been working on the data and camera system the past few days...

Unfortunately, TraqMate hasn't been a lot of help. All I get from them is that I need to configure the system properly. Well, I've done that about 15 times and still get the same result - no video!

So, today I installed a 12vdc to 5vdc convertor module. Instead of using switched power, I connected the input to 12vdc constant power and ran it though a dash switch. Then I wired the 5vdc output direct to the cameras (bypassing the TraqDash).

At the same time, I split the output three ways so I can run three cameras simultaneously (one looking forward, one looking rearward, and one looking at me). All three will be controlled (on/off) by a simple dash switch.

This should guarantee video in the future!
