[MeeGo-ivi] Early video <2sec + Security

[Nasa]

Well...

For those of us *hobbiest* I have actually installed one of 
these rearview cameras (it was really easy).  In a lot of 
case monitors/headunits have a line for a rear cameras and
multiple video input lines.

So steps go something like this

1. line to monitor rear camera wire is tied into the 
   reverse light power line.
2. camera video is feed into monitor 2nd line
3. *this part varies* power is provided to the camera via
   the reverse light power line or some constant power 
   source
4. when car is placed in reverse the camera line now has 
   current which causes it to switch sources...

You have a reverse camera.  If you provide constant power,
then the user can use a remote to switch sources whenever 
he/she wants.

Nasa

BTW: This hardware solution can meet said requirements
