Mirror, Mirror On The Boat -- Helps The Giz Wiz Make Sure His Boat Stays Afloat!
December 28, 2017 Post a Comment 
I have two Dropcams on my boat so I can monitor it year round. It's especially important in the winter so I can see if snow is building up on the deck. (Snow weighs a lot and too much snow isn't good.) Since my two cameras are inside the boat I can't see everything that's happening on the deck. That's when I decided to buy the Wide Angle Security Curved Convex Road Safety Traffic Mirror. If figured if I mounted it near the transom of the boat I could see the reflection of the back deck through my Dropcam. On Amazon the mirror was more than $50, but I found what looks like the exact same mirror on ebay for $24.00. Here some info from the description on ebay: Brand new and high quality. Use to eliminate blind spots and improve security around or in buildings. (And boats too, I might add.) Made of lightweight, shatterproof PC plastic. The back of the mirror with ABS material. The built-in shade on its top will help resist the sun and rain. (The “shade” isn't very deep, so I don't know how much protection it will give.) Diameter: 45cm 60cm or 18” or 24”. Includes a mounting bracket for easy installation, allowing mirror to be adjusted in all directions. --- I think this convex mirror works well for what I need. You can see it all, including the results after installing it in my video. Reading the reviews I see people use these mirrors to see what's happening around their house, in the driveways, etc. On ebay just search for 18" 24" Wide Angle Security Curved Convex Road Safety Traffic Mirror Driveway. A huge selection will come up.
