Has anyone investigated and/or installed a 3rd-Party "3D" 360 Birdseye-View Camera

Has anyone investigated and/or installed a 3rd-Party "3D" 360 Birdseye-View Camera System? I've been looking at ones from Tadi Brothers,
REI
, REI, AliExpress, and MassTransit. There may be others as well. I particularly like the "3D" element as it provides not just a top-down view of the motorhome, but also a top-down "angled view", one that seems to give better visibility of curbs/obstacles, especially when making right turns. The prices for these systems are all over the board, starting around $1,000 to several thousand dollars. I'm interested in hearing what other systems there may be, how well they work, and the challenges of setup and installation. To the latter point, how difficult was it to pull cables to the cameras?

Looks very interesting, my truck has this type of tech and it is very nice. I will follow along and hope someone has a review.

Interesting. Found one on Amazon for $159.

Is that what you are talking about?

That is the right idea, but that unit appears to be for cars only from what I read. An RV version big enough for my 45 foot motorhome would, at a minimum, require much longer camera cables. I’m also not sure that it could “stitch“ together a 360 degree view for large vehicles the size of our motorhomes.

Here's a lengthy thread from a few years ago where someone installed an Owleye system.

Thanks. I checked out the Owleye and added it to my list of systems to check out further. For what it's worth I did see an owner review that said, "Various user forums have reviews of this product and most people say the product is ok but begins to overheat quickly and then the image becomes distorted."
