Bobby, the cameras do not have a transmitter in them, so you must download the video. Also nothing can be used in real time in-car transmitting in NHRA or IHRA. Mike Baker of IHRA told me that he does not have a problem with cameras in the cars, as long as there are no wires from the device....and it's not on the nose of the car pointing to the opponents lane. My NHRA buddies tell me it's OK in quailifying/TT, but not allowed in the car for eliminations. As far as the lighting, I think if the camera is inside the car, it seems to adjust itself to the interior lighting and the glare off of the windshield seems to wash-out slightly. The other issue on the views that washed, the camera was mounted low on the cross bar (rearward bars were too big for the cam mt. or not usable due to bar placement) pointing up slightly. When the camera was placed high in the car, the clip view was better inside and outside. The Re-Play camera was selected as the all around best by HotRod magazine out of four cameras tested including GoPro. More info is availible at Computech Systems. The clips I placed on here are comprmised due to my movie maker program is junk. The raw footage downloaded is very nice and clear.
