Spiky

Started to fit the new camera's and bit and and bobs
ordered a new DVR, cant wait for that to come,
ordered a 16gb SDhc card, but i can only recored 1000mins of footage on that .. PMSL
ideal for the next ring trip
any here are the front and rear camera's, not sure if they will stay here,
will see next week with test footage
here is the new location of the quad processor, solid mounted with rubber under neath ,
the pics make it look crap, but 1 i dont care and 2 the rubber pads make it stick out

here is a little preview of the type of footage i will be getting on saturday
the mic is way to sensitive, even smoothered in foam, so will sort a different mic beofre then
like the angles or not?

Looks good mate, not sure you need a rear view cam although its kind of cool seeing people chase you, maybe one on the pedals or something (although I'm not a fan of showing people my amazing foot control LOL)

Can you use a external mic ? if so mount it inside somewhere

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

i will have a 3rd camera(at some point) that i will have facing the feet/clocks, will swap them around

but i always want front and rear as i have taken some rear footage (bedford rs day this year) and loved it,

on the move i cam change camera positions too with a remote, so can change to front only or rear only

jammerrs

sounds mint

Rcjm88

Looks really good! I like the low down view of the front facing cam!

Sounds really nice too!

Matt Evans

Steve - hope the front mounted cam is waterproof, the weather forecast dont look good for us on saturday.....

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

it will be dry, it will be dry

i hope anyhow...lol

i'm not sure it is water proof , i may have to move and mount inside, will decide friday night

wide ka

looks good, like the front, but the rear need to be more central i think, how much does al this cost?

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

well, we had a great day, loads of nice fast cars, and our pugs
126miles on track too
did all morning on r888's which seem to hold on very well, few oversteer instances, but
nothing to worry about
then lunch it hammered down, and i decided to put on my competition wets,
this transfromed the car and it had LOADS of grip and i loved it, passed everything
here are my video's from the weekend (last 3 sessions is where i was flying)
session 1 on r888's
session 2 on r888's
session 3a on r888's
session 3b on r888's
session 4 on r888's
session 5 on r888's
session 6 on Wet's
session 7a on Wet's
session 7b on Wet's

Watched the last 3 video's 7b,8a,8b.As usual I think their brill,in video 8a was there any car you didnt pass??? Nice bit of evo bashing going on!! Can you tell us where you purchased youre new camera and recorder set up please??Regards,Micky

sbd16v

you need to change where the video overlay is bottom left is rubish as it blocks half the track all the time

good vids thou some details on where it all come from and costs would be good

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

sadly, the device doesnt give me the option to change the position

the recorder is a dv500 from dog cam sport

front camera is a 550tvl with adj zoom/pan/brighness
rear camera is a 480 static
the picture in picture is a quad processor like this >> Quad processor

micky in session 8 it was the last 25 mins of the day and i was really on it...lol and nothing even go close...lol was great, was like a kid in a sweet shop

sbd16v

if you rotated the front camera 90 degs counter clockwise, would it come out on its side once it had been thought the processor ??

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

ah good pooint, i could rotate front and rear 180degrees, which would put it top left

aren't you a clever boy

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

actually no it wont, just thought about it for 2 seconds..lol

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

Well my 2009 season looks to be over now, so time to shread some more weught off the fat little monkey
removed a few wires that weren't doing any thing

Luca

iTrader: (2)

WOW - Does it still start ?

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

of course , these are just wires that have nothing attached any more,

like elec window, central locking, rear hear, rear wiper and so on

quite amazing to be honest

Nice one spiky, i bought a base model mk1 sierra for my track car, no sunroof, no leccy windows, no sunroof, no fuck all. Even the bumpers are lighter than normal,so a lot of weight has been saved already. Hope to see what it will be like up against your tin can in the wet sometime soon.
I run kumho ecsta's off a new shape mini cooper rally car, and they are awesome in the wet. Cheap as well (free).

Charlie Chalk

iTrader: (1)

LOL



Nice one Steve, Thats an impressive amount of wire to be just 'there'

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

can you get me some?, will pay delivery and some beer tokens


more shocking than impressive..lol

Porkie

iTrader: (1)

Spiky, vids are just awesome! I need a set up like this. Can you help me?

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

of course.

i did by mine second hand for Ł101 was a fooking bargain..lol

the front camera is a 550tvl Ł120 new and is water proof
the rear is a 480tvl 65-80 new splash proof
the recorder is a dv-500 Ł300 i had to buy this new
the split screen joby, well if the front camera is high, like i had it, it obstructs the view but when it's low, and this is how i will run it, it should be fine, but i may try and find a different type of box to do this, as this box is only Ł35 new anyhow

but for now if you want to run 1 front camera and a mic and a recorder, you can get it all from dogcam sport

if you need me to get links for each peice let me know

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

also the butey of the DVR is it has a 1 button, which turns it on and starts recording, press button again, stops recording and turns off

all my cameras, mic, and dvr, and split screen box all run off the battery

so no worries of a flat battery and i have a 16gig memory card, castle combe last week i recorded 1.9gig of footage, so you can see memory isnt an issue

also as it's records to solid state (SD card) you dont get any jumping pictures when you hit the kurbs on track

Porkie

iTrader: (1)

All way too techy for me! I'll give you a bell when the cars done if thats ok mate?

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

yeah dude, no probs

SteveW

iTrader: (2)

weight loss continues, loads of redundant wires. camera footage is great and i had a great day at combe even in the rain. i need to sort my footage out

cjwood555

If you haven't sorted out the mic, I can send you a diagram of how to make a 'pad' which will attenuate it....

BRIGSPORT

iTrader: (2)

Sorry spiky, 17's only.

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

well yet again, more weight loss,
had the whole dash out for the first time, oops, some sound deadening still in there, no gone, except behind the heater as i could obviously see how to take it out, so left the bit behind there
tidy all the wires up behind the clocks
which then left me with some long wires by the fuse box
so next job is to shorten each indiviual wire, and as you can see, thats not a 5 minute job,
ah well

Adam R4

wouldn't even know where to start lol.

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

1 wire at a time , easy really

just think of the grams i'll save..lol

actually the shortening is so it dont look crap as there is nothing to cover all the wires under the dash, as the dash is as youy see it, so the shorter and up out the way the better

Adam R4

What was your roof like after you took the lining out? was it fully painted? full of glue?

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

white but has glue on it , ....still

CraigoScott

iTrader: (1)

i think it deserves a nice new steering wheel whilst everything is out dont you spiky?

Spiky

iTrader: (1)

steering wheel seems to work fine

i was going to get one, but didnt know which size to get, and it's goign to cost 100-150

instead i bought gloves and it's fine on the std wheel

TimC

Howd you manage to get the suction mount on track? Though most tracks are trying to get rid of these.

Wires look like spaghetti, have fun shortening them.
