[Q] Using USB Camera on PX6 - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

Is it possible to connect an USB camera to a PX6 unit (Dasaita Max6) and use apps like Snapchat (not on road) and as front DVR?
I was thinking maybe a Logitech C270, which is apparently an UVC camera.

Using 7" tablet as vehicle DVR and Reverse cam

I am wondering if I might be able to interface my Galaxy TAB with a camera, be it using the composite input, USB or Bluetooth, and then recording it to the SD.
Would make a great reverse camera display to. Perhaps used for both forward facing DVR and reverse camera selection/split screen.
Any known hardware and apps that would allow this?
Or is there another ~7" tablet that has better inputs to suit this application?

external microphone issues

PLEASE READ THE DETAILS FOR ALL OF THIS QUESTION BEFORE GIVING THE FIRST QUICK ANSWER,
i have recently purchased the U11 and i was wondering about the use of an external microphone. I have a sony ecm 907 stereo condenser microphone with internal battery. I am using the camera / video app that came with the phone .
When i plugged it in using the 3.5mm / usb adapter, a dialog box popped up to inform me that the microphone was being installed .... in all cases the microphone is connected prior to launching the camera app.
i have also tried an electret unpowered lavalier mic but it treats this as a headphone
But the video app continues to only use the onboard microphones. I have tried front and rear cameras, 3d audio and hi-res audio in all possible combinations.
Is this simply a limitation of the camera software? or..
Do i need to use a particular type of microphone?
Do i need to install a 3rd party app such as Filmic Pro?
Do i need to change any other settings?
Do i need to install a patch/ app to get round this issue?
The phone won't have drivers to use the hardware and isn't capable of installing them as root is protected.
You will need an app to use it or there is even the chance you might have to root or even accept that it may not work at all..

[Dasaita] DVR Connector Pin-Out

I still trying to make working Factory setting "Switch to front camera for XX seconds after reverse gear" (translated from my language) on my head unit with a simple RCA/CCTV camera.
Now i have hooked (hoping in fast working solution) the camera video out to AV-IN HU connector and after reverse gear for 5 seconds (thats my amount fo time selected on factory settings) i get the classical no video exclamation mark, so my attempt is wrong.
Thinking how solve the situation the other iadea i had is hookin the camera video-out to the reserved DVR 6 pin connector of my HU, but i dont know how it work and what are the pin-outs.
I think, hoping for sure, 2 of them are Cam +12V and GND, 2 are Video (+) and Video (-) and the other 2 i presume are ACC 12V+ and GND or Data (+) and Data (-).
Someone with DVR Cam on HU can confirm and can draw a little schematic with the pin-out and can confirm in if idea of using the factory settings "Switch to front camera for XX seconds after reverse gear" can work right?
Thanks in advance!
You should not connect to video out, that's for an additional screen. You need to have something like camera in

The problem is that Dasaita HU doesnt have a dedicated front camera input, so im trying to circumvent this
See my post in this thread;

Not the pinout diagram you asked for but a simple circuit you can build for cheap to get what you want by plugging in both your front and rear cameras into your one reverse camera input.

Thanks for your suggestion, a good idea! But there is a problem: im totally noob on realizing circuits! i have some skills in soldering and no more.
Do you want to draw a ready to solder circuit for me? are you using standard or smd components? What type of relay you have used?
EDIT:
Today i received a message from Dasaita support pointing me to a video box auto-switcher, i think it work in similar mode of your. What you think about that?

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread...

Hi, I also own a Dasaita unit, and want to integrate a front view camera.
From some posts in this thread that was previously mentioned here (Front parking camera mod), it seems that some MTCD units (KDL?) have indeed pins for the front camera available at the back of the headunit, even if the wire harness don't have the corresponding cables for them.
After migrating to Android Pie some days ago, I activated the system menu to show the front camera and selected CVBS for the DVR, all this with a camera connected to the Aux In yellow input (I know, this will not work, it was just a test). But to my surprise, now I don't see the DVR App anymore (but I see now another app called F-cam). The interesting thing is that through this app, I'm now able to see my (stock) reverse camera whenever I want (even when I'm not in reverse). I thought that this camera was only powered on while in reverse (but apparently is not). As expected, when I switch to the front cam icon in the app, nothing is shown (only the warning icon), since this app expects the front camera to be connected to a specific video input not present in my harness.
Now to my question: Did somebody find out if the Dasaita PX5 Android units have this two pins (F-cam, 12V for F-cam) available in the back connectors (even if not available in the wire harness)?
(Soldering the proposed mods is definitely beyond my capacity - neither the internal nor external one; thanks anyway)
Hi, I'm looking for pinouts of RCA out of Dasaita units.
Can someone send a picture here?
Thanks

Question Connecting spdif/toslink onCC3

Hello,
I'm new here and this is my first post.
I just got the Teyes CC3 and working to connect it.
I use DSP and will connect vis toslink or spdif ( I havn't decided yet).
My rear speakers don't run on an amplifier
Is it possible to run the unit with digital out ant to connect the rear speakers to the unit?
Thank you!
What happened when tried
I didn't tried yet

Question CC2 plus/CC3 Aux in question (CVBS_1/CVBS_2)

I have a Teyes CC2 plus and want to use both Aux (video in) inputs. I have a side camera plugged in pin A18 (CVBS_1) on harness and it works fine in front video app. I would like to use a second camera on aux in pin A17 (CVBS_2) but I get a no signal error with a cam connected to this input. My harness originally only had just pin A18 (CVBS_1) populated but I added a Rca jack from another Teyes harness to pin A17 and a shared ground. I contacted Teyes china via whatsapp number they provided but responses are slow no real answer given.
Can anyone with a CC2/ CC2 plus/ CC3 advise if they have used aux in on pin A17 (CVBS_2) or is this disabled somehow? and if so, can it be enabled? I have used both the Teyes AHD reverse cam and a generic AHD cam for testing. Both cams work on pin A18 but none are detected on pin A17.
