SupraStar 3000 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 well,,..... it just so happens that I do graphic work for TSS (suppliers of tv cameras, lasers, recorders etc. for the police force. I can get hold of the actual equipment that the boys in blue use for catching the scum. Complete package including cameras, vhs recorder etc for £1000 I had a demo from MD and we could read the supra logo on my brake from across the street. Really impressive. I bought a small camera to stick in my RC helicopter that I havn't got around to doing. Your best option would be buy a webcam and run it through your PC.

SimonB Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Web cams don't have a fast enough update rate. You want a bullet cam and a camcorder. Or just a camcorder if you have anything to mount it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cainhead Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hey there, Not sure if this is any help but i work in the snowboard industry and some of the skiers use these tony hawk camers when doing big tricks, go to link. http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=97751&_LOC=UK They use a memory card in the side which you can download straight to your laptop.

I've got a harness bar that goes behind the seats, and a clamp thingy that clamps to that. It's a Sony camcorder with an image stabiliser too, that makes things a lot better. Think I'm going to get one of those bullet cams this year and stick it on the front bumper for a better sense of speed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
