Hi all,

I'm helping the other half's dad to build his Spire GT-R at the moment, and one of my jobs is to figure out the onboard camera(s). The ideal thing I'm looking for is to have one bullet cam mounted on the roll bar looking forward, and one mounted on the forward bracing (maybe), focussed on the instruments. Ideally I'd like both cameras to record to the same device so they're synced. (then, I can overlay the instruments into one corner of the screen).

I was thinking about one of the MP4 hard drive recorder type devices, I've yet to see one with two AV inputs though. I had a ride in one of the new spires at Brands, which had a Stack kit in it - I've just looked these up and the recorder part of the system was $6500 US

With the assumption that I don't get 6 numbers in tonight's draw, has anyone got any experience / suggestions for what I can use for this?

Thanks in advance,


Vince

Have a look on http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/ they do everything you need for onboard camera set ups, including recorders and multicamera set ups.

Get in touch with them if you need to, they are very helful and know what they are talkng about.

You can get wireless colour cameras with audio (~1.2GHz) with receiver for £15odd off ebay.

After an accident in 2005, when a car went through red and won in court (because of no witnesses), I lost.
I bought the following DVR and a bulit cam for my tintop.
The recordings are Mpeg4 and are recorded in 10 sencond clips. They are continously recorded on to an 2 GB SD card and overwritten when full.
The videos contain date and time information and they can be joined together video editing software. You can set the video to record continuously but you run the risk of corruption of the saved file, if the power disconnects during recording to the sd card. 10 second files are safer to record.
I have a wired bullet cam because wireless can suffer from interference and a lot of the imported cams work on some of the UK's blue tooth and wireless network frequencies.
At the moment, my camera is in the tintop as a safeguard against other drivers.
When I get time I will try it on my project car.

Well that's your excuse anyway nitram I suppose it's cheaper than a private eye to keep track of the missus

Sorry to disappoint you but the only thing my wife drives.......is me up the wall!!!!

ther was a lady exhibiting a load of bullet cams etc at newark this year, she was outside with a black clio, prices where very reasonable i thought and looked good quality gear too, think i have a card somewhere will have a look on monday and post here

best regards

To use more than one camera you need a quad processor, you can get them off ebay for about £40 for a 4 channel one. Not sure how they work exactly, but guessing you connect up 4 cameras and have one output going to the camera. Then when you want to take the video off the camera you play it backwards through the quad processor to seperate the feeds. Not sure how this would work with digi cams that load video via firewire.
