Bullet Cam / Recorder

[Jamz]

Hi All,

Right, im after a decent (cheap) bullet cam, so i can hook it up to my car for trackdays/drives myself and friends go on.

Also, i currently have a sony handycam DCR-TRV33, which ive seen you can hook a bullet cam up to, and record off that... but ill need a wire which will allow me to charge it up in the car, and i cannot find anything (appart from sony themselfs, and they want like 60 quid for a wire :O)

Would i be better getting some sort of recorder which will record direct onto an SD card?

I would like as good quality as possible (i know there is no HD bullet cams/recorders) but something with a decent resolution will be great.

Cheers

James

Hi

Just sold a 520TVL bullet camera recently from action cameras uk, very good quality and can be plugged into anything with a AV in.
I have now bought a VIO POV1 SD based recording system which is the best bullet camera device at the moment but it costs £500.
I use this for mountain biking and the footage is DVD quality.
Friend bought a Orgeon AT3K device but the footage is only just watchable, they have a new one now.
Cheapest option is probably to buy a 520TVL bullet camera and hook it up to your camcorder as size and weight won't be an issue in your car.

Hi Chilau I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these (POV) are you still happy with it?

You can get HD bullet cameras but they are very expensive.

I have used a bullet camera on trackdays several times. I bought the bullet camera from Maplins a couple of years ago, it seems to be pretty good quality. The bullet cam is powered from the cigarette lighter. I run a Sony HC42E to record it (running of it's battery).
