Whatever camera you get, make sure it has external video input allowing recording. In many video cameras, the external input is inhibited because the
EU says recording from external source (your bullet camera ) turns the camera into a VCR which attracts a higher rate of import duty.
Sorry, I've never uploaded video to the net, but no doubt someone on here has

I have just bought myself a Mini DV cam with it in mind that in the future i'll use a bullet cam.
I got an Canon MVX35i from Comet, £300. You struggle to get much cheaper with an AV input thats needed for the bullet cams. I think the cheapest AV in
DV cam I found was also from Comet and it was a JVC. It is a bit cheaper on the Comet's web page than in store, price was £240 i think. Apart
from these i couldn't find much else about, alot of stores don't have any Camcorders with input recordings.
Uploading to the net should be quite straight forward with the right capture software. If anyone has any advice on what software is good then
i'm very interested! For some strange reason you only seem to get photo software with alot of camcorders, no video stuf and no Firewire cable to
transfer the vid to pc!

How about this sports camcorder from Samsung?
Link
Especially if you haven't a bullet cam yet.
Think they haven't made it to the UK yet but there's always a way

iv also just brought the canon mvx 30i ,the cheapest i could find one on the net for was £650 then looked on the comet website and its £300 so grabbed
one before they realised there mistake .it didnt come with the dv lead that you need to get the video onto your pc tho.i then brought a 480 line
bullet cam from www.dogcamsport.co.uk/ but i wish id gone for the 420 line one now as you reduce the quality so much to show it over the net that
theres hardly any difference also the lens on the 420 is held in with a grub screw but the 480 is held in place with a sealant which lets the lens
unscrew and goes out of focus

If you're buying mainly for bullet cam capture then you might as well go for a cheaper DV camcorder.
As above www.dogcamsport.co.uk or even better now www.fastfilms.co.uk for your mounts and accessories.

So just to clarify the prices are.....
dog cams...
£79.00 400
£150.00 for 420
£179.00 for 520
fast films
£108 for 420
£126 for 480
£130 for 520
Are these resonable prices, i would get the 420 or 520 but im still confused on what is better for uploading to net and better for recording!!
....im very interested in this kit for £300....
1 x 3 way a/v switch
2 x Pro 480 cameras (with mounts)
2 x Mic
2 x Battery holders
.....and why cant i just use a camera on a mount or can i use other recording device for the bullet camera!

All you need is this:
A bullet cam kit with a mic. Dont bother with a power supply its easy to add one to your loom! £100 from dogcamsport.
A Neuros solid state digital video recorder. Stores videos on 1Gb memory cards. Can store nearly up to 3 hours at most. You can get 2 hour of good
quality footage. You can get these for £100 delivered on eBay.
Thats all you need. £200 all in. Cheaper than buying a camcorder!

yea well after all morning researching, the samsung with built in bullet has very bad reviews and software errors etc!
the canon seems expensive and the...
NISIS Pocket DV-M1 Digital Video Camcorder for only £92 which records in MP4 format and can be used as a web cam etc is more than worth its money im
ordering on off those i think but would like a review from sumone with one first??
or the neuros as stated above ive seen these on the web but seemed expensive, but for £100 that seems ok!
and i think i might go for the more expensive dog cam for £150 if no one is doing a group buy!

has anyone bought a neuros off ebay? Recommend a good seller? Best i could find was £120.
Is there any way to save money by using my phone? It does video recording anyway. Taping it to the roll bar might be a bit extreme though, and im
guessing it doesnt have an av in feature! Its an N70.

Well you wanted a review, so...
Went out for a ride in the car and used the NISIS as a camera, the bullet is arriving this week, i must say im so far impressed by the quality of this
thing, apart from some blockiness at a certain point, the rest of the 10min video was fine. I have uploaded a sample video of the camera
here.
Hope this helps.

not bad that, certainly showed what happened. Was the blockyness caused by the camera, the storage or the upload? Cheers!

It could have been any of those...it may have been because it was going fast, changing direction, adjusting the light levels, vibrating at a high
frequency and then trying to write to the card...didnt experience anything else though..
BTW any blockiness on that video is caused by degredation in quality through the web upload or video editing.
Will post another video when the bullet arrives.

Have uploaded the video again but in high resolution, this is much truer to the video quality direct from the camera. See the new video

yours
