onboard rock camera, Video thread ? Where do you get bullet Cams?
 

So what are you guys doing for bullet cams ( lipstick cams) ?

I have an Awesome Cam, but was hoping on a Wide Angle and some feedback- (specs)

looking for a WIDE Angle bullet Cam.

Project ROCK CAM
Rig: 85 4Runner

I am going to wire in 2 bullet cams under my rig. Front view & Rear view.
sometimes want that extra help, when the Spotter Sucks or I lost my place :con:

I bought this AWESOME Color bullet camera $180. a few years Ago to get on board Video of my street luge racing. ( runs on 8 AA Batteries) the color Picture is DVD Quality ! plugs into my Sharp ZR85 Dig Camera ! it works great, So will re use the system. but need Another bULLet Cam

1- I will wire up the Rig so I just Plug my camera AV jack into the AV Cam cable and then Plug it into a New Wired jack into switches in the Console of my 85 Toy (near the Stereo)
Switch 1(front cam) Switch 2 (rear cam)

2- For a Monitor Screen I will just use my Canon camera screen 2.5" .
(too much $$$ for a TFT Screen, Although you can buy 7" screens for as little as $80. ( not sure where I would put it) I have not found a low priced screen with Video IN jack.

3- Mount camera mount next to the dash and stereo using old school CD player mount flex pole thing.

4- Build a Quick disconnect for the two cams on my T-case Cross member ( this is well Protected, centered in vehicle and close to the cab, (less wire) [/

I will post up info and Pictures if this site will allow Pictures.( help on this ?)


( this is an Excellent Cam) I have used this Across the WORLD, taking on board Video on my Street Luge--> 1/2 off the ground at speeds of 70+ Mph.
