RCA back-up camera
I replaced the camera on my old FC with a modern color IR unit. I
got an adapter at Radio Shack that allowed my to plug it right into
the original cable heading to the original monitor. Worked fine.
One catch, though...if you get an IR camera, the little IR "lights"
will reflect off the small window the camera looks out through and
block out the picture at night. You could mount the camera outside
to solve the problem, I chose to simply block out the IR with
electrical tape. Worked fine.
