Do dynamic guidelines for backup camera only work for installs with canbus? (TS10/Topway/Oknavi)

Hi

On my unit backup lines are fixed, they are not curving as the car is backing up even though the feature is on. Is this normal for cars that use no canbus? I have TS10/Toway HU.

Yes, I believe only cars with canbus can have those dynamic curving lines for the rear backup camera.

How else would the head unit know where the steering wheel is? The canbus communicates with the car modules/compuers to get that information.

There are cameras that calculate the trajectory based on car movement. I thought that if cameras can do that then HU should have enough of CPU to so the same.

@firstbob yeah best bet is probably to swap out for a trajectory camera from aliexpress, but I'm not sure how well they work (probably not well?). I just ordered an ahd1080p one last night. The trajectory model was only cvbs720p.

Sounds interesting. I did not know that there were cameras that could estimate trajectory. My car is a 2012 with limited/minimal canbus so I run without a canbus module. I've only had static lines added by head units up until now.

Please post aliexpress link to the camera with the trajectory.

Thanks

Aliexpress descriptions are hit and miss. I presume 2053 means GalaxyCore 2053 imager. This chip is very tiny, only 1/5" diagonal, therefore I wonder how they claim good night performance. This review is not speaking highly of it: https://dashcamtalk.com/wonvon-w4k/

With that said, I don't know what is a good backup camera :) Myself, I got AHD 720p

As to trajectory, based on reviews, camera based is not accurate and only works when car is in motion/does not react to steering wheel position (obviously). I thought that perhaps HU implementation, with more CPU power could do better.

Nice find. Yeah I figured it's not going to be spectacular, but still better than all the other standard 525l + ir led models.

Yeah, it's a minefield. Vendors advertising diagonal FOV to make their numbers bigger, claiming 1080p or HD for CVBS. Most 720p cameras are below 600TVL and, as you mention, IR or LED models are likely compensating for bad imaging chip and to inflate sensitivity numbers.

For what it's worth, I finally wired up the ahd1080p gc2030hd the other day. Curiously, with the ground connected, there's some sort of ground loop interference. Leaving it unhooked and using the composite ground only produces a clean image. Maybe performance is inadequate if used as a dashcam, but as a reverse camera, I'm thoroughly impressed with the nighttime performance. The seller cautioned using the 1080p variant with the fyt uis7862, advising instead to opt for the ahd720p version, but it works just fine.

Still debating which guidelines to use, but I'm now very tempted to try and rig up the canbus to see if dynamic guidelines can work. My unit came with a canbus decoder, but my car doesn't send canbus wires to the radio.

seems so but I haven't taken measurements. It's definitely deceptively wider than it appears because of the aspect ratio. Claims to be 170* in ahd, and 160* with the wire cut for cvbs.

I went through three cameras from Ali. Two were fake 1080p and angle (got my money back), third one is a nice improvement over OEM, especially at night. Paid $22 if anyone is interested: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001861087222.html However, no guarantees that seller is not going to substitute for something else so YMMV. View angle is around 170deg@1080p. I am thinking of getting one for front as well (have to check if Head Unit can mirror the image since it's a backup camera).

The guidelines are fixed as well on my Volvo using OuDi canbus interface. Maybe it´s different on another manufacture

Yesterday I installed my OWNICE K7 (with CAN) from Ali. Its a TS10. It has a 360° bird view camera system with real 1080p integrated. I have two switchable options for the rear cam. One with fixed guide lines (red/yellow/green) and a second one with a yellow trajectory lane wich follows the steering wheel angle. BUT: The trajectory lane curves more than the turning circle of the vehicle is. If I were to follow the trajectory lane, I would have already driven off both rear fenders.

Did you set up your car parameters for 360 cameras? Does it use those settings to set reversing trajectory lines?

I need to figure out why my Simplesoft canbus is not sending steering wheel info. My lines do not move yet.

How do i identify fake 1080p?

I just bought one of those AliExpress dynamic trajectory AHD 1080p reversing cameras. I can confirm that this function appears to be built into the unit itself and does not use canbus. Guide lines do not move unless the car is in motion and they are not particularly accurate. In fact, I find them distracting and will be replacing the camera with another basic camera without this feature.

    If it's built into your camera then your HU has nothing to do with nor does the canbus, if it's not built into the camera and was a feature of your cars system then you would need the canbus. My aftermarket camera has it built in, anything I do on the HU just adds a second set of static lines. I have no Canbus, but my lines work fine.

    I managed to get dynamic trajectory working on a gen 3 rav4 by adding a obd to canbus uart cable with a raise ft-rz-01 canbus box. This vehicle never had reverse trajectory dynamic lines but it works well. Just FYI. My head unit is a xy audio 5760B wity a AC8259 soc. It also is giving me door ajar info for each door.
