Lots of sub £200 DV Cams on eBuyer such as http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/107259
You'll need to check manufacturers specs to make sure they've got a svid/rgb input though.

the only problem with the Neuros is you wont know what your recording unless you link it up to a screen to let you see what your bulletcam is looking
at

Good point... could it be connected to a small portable TV ie one of those 3" LCD things?.. Just a thought.

The Canon MVX30i is still 289.99 less than half the price of any other place when using price runner to compare.
Very tempted
The advantage of using a camcorder is you also have a camcorder where as with the bullet cam and hard drive recorder you can only use it in the
car.
Can you get clear lens covers for the Canon? Then you could just mount that to the roll bar, or is this not recommended, would save £120 on a bullet
cam.

i damaged my girlfriends camcorder on a cam mount so didnt want to risk it again.it had worked fine a couple of times before that on the same cam
mount.
i was looking at this before i brought the mvx30 but like g said its only any good for the car

Nice... but not cheap!!
Also hard disk is subject to vibration, solid state would be a better option.

just ordered the canon thingy from comet Buzzer. Just the bullet to get now, and a mount or two.
Just an aside, can the canon mvx30 manage multiple bullets, or do i need an adapter?

You will probably need a AV switch or something. I noticed it one of Rich Jenkins videos it keeps on switching cameras, not sure if this is automatic,
if he was manual switching, or he had about 4 video recorders on board!

hehe richi had one cam and stiched the footage together ,the mvx can only take one av input but you can use more than one cam by using the av switch
box,we got a cheap one free becouse we ordered one each but there iv read that there is a 3 second delay on the change over .im sure i read some where
but probably dreamt it that you can get more expensive things that gives you the choice to split your screen up into 4 so you can see all 4 cams at
once

thats the hole point i dont want a camera so i dont have to tuck it away i can hard wire the neuros, and then just hide the bullet cam when needed
too! as i dont have a windscreen hence no roof etc!
ill give it a go and post some feedback, if it not suitable then no harm seeling back on ebay eh there are still going for £120 + p&P so ive saved
£40 at least
..and ive got a few small screens lying about i might flush mount one in the dash board!
my idea dont steel it

You will need a voltage regulator for the neuros. As it needs a 5 volt power supply. Simple enough to make one though (see attached word document i
knocked up last night). I would recommend using 2, one for the neuros with a 5V output, and one for the camera with a regulated 12V output.
Sure one of the electronics wizzes can check my maths etc to make sure the resistor values are correct.
Of course if you dont want to make one, you should easily be able to buy something suitable.
Cheers,
David

I'm doing the same as Kris.
One switch on the dash to power the Neuros, and one to power the camera. The Neuros can be set to come on ready to record and to start recording as
soon as there's an input, so I won't have to fiddle with the remote .
With a 2GB card I won't have to worry about running out of tape halfway through a blat, or worry about my camcorder being nicked.
I think once I've used it a couple of times and decided on locations, I can use tape to line-up the camera and won't need a monitor.
I've found them online here for under £100.
Martin.
