Rear view camera MBUC1 - disable autodimming feature? (from mp3car.com)

krnpimpsta · 02-19-2008, 04:51 PM

I have the MBUC1 Image sensor as a rear view camera: http://store.mp3car.com/product_p/com-051.htm

It autocorrects the brightness, but it always corrects it to become to dark on my Xenarc. It always looks perfect for a split second before the camera begins to autocorrect the image and make everything dimmer.

Is there any way to disable this?

Camera has one 12V DC input and one RCA video output.

On the other hand thier large items like MoBos and screens and what not, are very competively priced.

Yeah, I price shopped pretty hard for everything else, but for the camera, I assumed that "this is the best one that MP3car recommends and it doesn't have a recognizable brand, so I won't be able to identify it anywhere else easily," and didn't try. Doh.

And don't worry, the wall is fine. My head is much smaller. *resumes banging*

But back to topic.. does anyone know how to disable the autobalance? I want it to stay at maximum brightness or some predefined brightness...
