jonathanc Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 There are many times whilst driving I wished I can safely take a quick snapshot of the view ahead of me or record short videos in HD. I would also like a device which can track my car and view it on a website somewhere. (ie view on Google map where I've been, speed etc etc) I am currently learning to create an app in Android that does most of the job but it is taking a while as I have to also build the webpage ... So I am wondering if anyone know of such a device? I am pretty sure it was mentioned before but I need some help to search for the name... Cheers!

Robzki Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I often have incar cum accidents, especially in the summer when the women wear less. Would I want it recorded? Not likely. If you can create an app that would clean the front seats it would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm using this camera in my car http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120755716326?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 It records in 720p and 1080p have HDMI output, you can set up clip lenght 1/3/5 minutes, when card is full it automatically get back to first clip and overwrites it. You can set it up to start recording when you start up car (power cable needs to be connected), or react on movement etc. it does not have a gps tho... Maybe this one would suit you: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5-FULL-HD-1080P-Camera-Black-Box-DVR-GPS-/130582397488?pt=UK_Gadgets&hash=item1e67514230 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I would also like a device which can track my car and view it on a website somewhere. (ie view on Google map where I've been, speed etc etc) There are a few subscription systems in use at the moment JC with 20-second updating capacity via parellel-12 GPS; intergrated comms, emergency response and multi-video capture capacity of several hours. They aren't cheap though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be able to create something similiar with HTC Desire and Android SDK but will take ages and results not as good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have personal trackers with GPS in our phones but once again its a subscription service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulley Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I have a "smart witness" inboard gps, g-meter, it records constantly and overwrites when the sd card is full, any impact is highlighted in the playback timeline, so if someone hits you the gps , speed, force and location on googlemaps is recorded This has come in handy with an insurance claim in the past SmartWitness SVC100GPS Car Journey Accident Camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have personal trackers with GPS in our phones but once again its a subscription service. True. To be fair if you have your own server you can setup Android phone to send GPS coordinates to the sql backend. Just a lot of hassle to setup and design the web ui etc... I have a "smart witness" inboard gps, g-meter, it records constantly and overwrites when the sd card is full, any impact is highlighted in the playback timeline, so if someone hits you the gps , speed, force and location on googlemaps is recorded This has come in handy with an insurance claim in the past Sounds nice! Again I bet its a commercial thing though. Sounds like stuff you put in delivery vehicles etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BazzaAlpine Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Have you had a look at Autoguard for andriod? I know it makes use of google maps when the video is stored but don't know that it can upload anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobius Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Trucks are being fitted with road hawk camera and tracking as can be seen from this, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_s Supe Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 RoadHawk is the only way to go IMHO. They're brilliant. My Dad and brother both use them and have caught some pretty horrific driving! They seem expensive at £200 but you've only got to have 1 non-fault accident that you get blamed for and it's paid for itself instantly!!
