I have been using the side pod cameras long enough to know what works and does not about them at this point, so here is a rundown of the more significant cons I see with my current hardware.

Less than optimal camera location and orientation mean:
- Can't see rear wheels
- Horizons are each canted and non-adjustable in the housing
- Too much skyline during daylight darkens road image excessively
- Body reflections are slightly confusing during daylight and very misleading at night

Monitor issues are:
- No automatic brightness control or easy means to manually adjust. Either too dark in daylight, or too bright at night. Less than optimal for both when set in the middle.
- No way to shift image up or down to compensate for camera view of the horizon.
- They simply look like cheap add-ons.

So I think I have assembled a more polished system to address those issues including the pods I am having 3D printed in the attached image. But unlike my sub $100 test system, this one runs just over $320. It should work far better with upgraded 960h AHD cameras, the custom pods, and a system to split screen both cameras onto a single HD over the mirror style dashcam monitor. I am still working out how to mount the monitor, but it should work nicely, centered on top of the dash center OEM display.
