We've been talking about this locally, and we're just trying to figure out how best to solve the following:
A dash mounted "record" on/off toggle switch ( I hate contorting to turn on the camera ).
A dash mounted "recording" LED. (I MISSED THAT WHOLE SESSION! )
Power the camera off the "MAIN" power switch, ie, if the car is on, so is the camera, and the camera battery never dies! (The battery died during the unexpected long wait in grid!)
Long record times. (Ran out of tape/memory during the unexpected long wait in grid!)
Anybody found simple fixes for these yet?
My current setup:
Rollbar mounted spycam on cage (works great, powered off car) with RCA cables going back to a Hi8 camera acting as a VCR in a padded bag in the spare tire well. This system works, but you don't know for SURE that you're recording, and you don't know for sure that your buddy hit the correct button on the camera in grid, and I'm still relying on the camera battery for the recording.
