Two improvements of a closed circuit television system applicable to a
motor-freight tractor/trailer rig, or a motor vehicle, to see to the rear
when the unaided view is obstructed, comprising:1. Sunvisor-mounted case
(30), with a window (10), for cradling a camcorder-type LCD monitor (32),
to provide protection for the monitor from heat, cold, vibrations, and
bright sunlight, to allow a driver easy, direct, close-range viewing of
the monitor screen, as if the screen were a rear-view mirror, while
backing up a motor vehicle, or a tractor with attached trailer.2.
Weather-proofed enclosure (40) for mounting on the reverse side of a
plate (34), such as a license plate, located at the rear of a motor
vehicle, or trailer, to protect a micro-video, pin-holed lens camera
(48).These two improvements together meet a long-felt but unsolved need
in the trucking industry.
