reverse image on CCD Camera Prob

Apr 12, 2007 18 Replies

I bought a Board Camera that says Mirror Image. The image is backwards on it. By the description on the box I'm starting to get the backwards picture of the problem. Does anyone know how these are used or a way to turn the picture around mirrors or any other way. The picture quality is superb on the camera inspite of the reverse image. Thanks in advance David


See if there are any dip switches on it. It might be reversible.

Cross out the word Mirror, it should be normal from then on

I doubt if its the lens. Its cheaper to make a slight tweak to the electronics than to tool up to make a special small production lens.

Neither. It's in the main circuit board. The chips are standard -- no reason to reinvent the wheel just to invert an image since it's trivial to do it on the board.

If you're still having trouble perhaps it was sold, designed or installed incorrectly. Contact me and I'll send one of my DIY customers from your area to help you get it working right. :^)

you mean; get it working left

I'm presuming that you bought the camera knowing that it was a Mirror Image camera (?). If so, it's obviously specially designed to be used in a device that uses a mirror. Perhaps some clandestine type of camera device.

As mentioned, some cameras come with dip switches and "mirror image" is an option you can choose.

If you didn't want the Mirror Image camera and this is just what they sent you, and you can't change it and it not going to work for your application, why not find out if you can return it in exchange for a standard camera?

Are you saying that left is correct? :^)

As someone else said, it's probably a backup camera. We sell them for use on motor homes.

sometimes left is right, other times right is right

Unfortunately, the Shrub is almost never right (as in correct) though he is consistently right (as in wing nut). The funny thing is that lately true conservatives are coming out (not as in Foley coming out) against Bush because he is *not* by any stretch conservative.

And while two wrongs may not make a right, three rights do make a left...

True, but three lefts make a quorum.

Also, two Wrights make an airplane!
