Ken - not confusing the two. I'd like a single system to integrate both.
Full time rear view display and DVR for front & rear. I'm thinking
something like this:

4 channel
GPS
dual 32gb card support
Just add your choice of cameras and a 7" LCD display on the dash. I'm
thinking for fun I'll add an interior one for passenger view. :)
