Does anyone know of a way to hookup a rear-view camera as found on SUVs,etc. to use the PocketPC as the view screen instead of paying more $$$ for a comercially available video screen? Also, what software would I need to view? I have a 3800 sreies Ipaq with a PC card slot attachment. Any ideas/help is appreciated.

You could use a video capture card such as:

I have not used it, but it might work for you.

thanks for the input! My issue is that I need to hook up the camera remotely from the rear door to the dash area. I'm hoping there is some sort of video adapter similar to ones available for PCs where I can just connect a cable to the card, then extend the vidoe via long cable. As yet, I haven't been able to find one.

my apologies, GSmith...
I replied before fully researching your suggested FlyGrabber.
Looks like it will do the trick as I do have a CF adapter that I had forgotten about.

thanks again! :-)
