I was hoping to add rear view camera to my Joying head unit, I have a camera which connects SPDIF, which I assume plugs into the Video In port in the back of the head unit, what app can I use to view the camera feed?
I was also thinking of using the camera to record the rear view of the car also, can anyone recommend an app to be able to do this?
I have tested out the camera using AUX-IN app but it just hangs and crashes.
TIA

Okay so Im trying to get my Eonon Andoid head unit for my E46 BMW to switch to Reverse Camera when I put it in reverse. I have wired the camera up for power from my reverse lights and ran RCA to the front and connected it to the head unit. This worked fine when my car had an Auto transmission but after I swapped my car to a manual transmission the camera will not auto launch on reverse. It does work as I downloaded an app to open camera and when I put it in reverse the camera shows whats behind me. But if I'm not manually opening the camera app the head unit does not switch. Any ideas?
Eonon may have mislabel the RCA lead, did you try the other video in leads? It should have come on when the camera got power from the reverse positive lead. May also be a firmware issue. Contact Eonon on Facebook and describe it to them. They may send you a firmware update.
I have installed a chinese android head unit in my car with 8227L chip along with front and back camera. Everything is working fine.
I want to use my car's front camera as a recorder but I am unable to find any android app that records from AVIN. Does anybody know any such app?
I am unable to find any music app that remembers how much a track is played and resumes from there where car is started next time. It will be helpful if any body knows such app.
No One

Hello friend, check if behind the radio next to the rca that comes from the camera you have connected one called back, or reverse. I hope I can help you
I have a Joying headunit (w the new 7862? processor) running Android 12. I am trying to record video from a camera (~1080P) mounted on the front of the truck. This is not the Joying dash cam.
It looks like Joying is blocking apps like Open Camera and Camera MX from connecting to the camera.
On a another camera, GOPRO 7. I think Joying is blocking GOPRO app onthe Joying HU , from connecting to the GOPRO camera. I have no problem connecting the GP camera to the iPhone.
Anybody have any success recording video on a Joying HU, and not using a Joying dash camera? Any suggestion on work around.
In my car I installed a chinese android head unit, with front and rear camera (no dash cam). The cameras both work well, the front one is always active (frontview), the rear one is activated with reverse gear and then for 5 seconds it is viewed frontally. The head unit does not have a dvr included even if it is checked in the options and I can't find an android application that records the video signal of both cameras, but to date no application works!!!
Please help me!!!
Thank you.
Was the head unit sold as being able to record both cameras while driving?
There are dashcam apps on the playstore.
I bought a combined pair of front and rear cameras designed to work with a head unit but it appears they can only record video onto the SD card in the camera itself. The head unit helps to align the cams for best viewing and to see what is happening in real time. My cameras will work without a head unit to record every time they are powered on.
As a thought maybe you could use 2 different dashcam apps and have 1 record the front cam and the other record the back cam.
I suspect those cameras were only intended to be used as navigation aids not as dashcams. You can probably download an app to use one camera as a dashcam but maybe not record from both. The best solution is to buy a dedicated dashcam with good reviews. https://dashcamtalk.com/best-dash-cams-of-2023/ You can ask more specific questions to learn more about the best dashcams for you on https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/
If the cameras came with the head unit ask the seller for the app to allow them to record onto the head unit. If the cameras were bought from a different seller ask that seller to get you the app to make them work with the head unit. If there is no app available for that purpose then probably you need to get a dashcam instead.
I found a potential app xcdvr2. It is not found on google play store although xcdrv1 is there.
I did find xcdvr2 online as an APK.
Download XCDVR2 2.12.0-gsj for Android | Uptodown.com
Download the latest XCDVR2 update for Android. The new XCDVR2 2.12.0-gsj version is now available for free
xcdvr2.en.uptodown.com
Make sure you virus check the APK before using it.
This may or may not be a newer version of that app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.williexing.android.apps.xcdvr1
Here is the video I found that demonstrates that app.
