In-car camera from Budds Creek IHRA S/S

Wade, what is the megabyte per second/minute usage on the camera

Wade Mahaffey · 07-16-2012, 08:19 PM

I think there are three settings 1080, 960, and 740 Somewhere close to those numbers

Wade,
Call me tommorrow. I have a customer who is really sharp with videos. I just did some work on a supercharger he is adapting to a 302 in a Mustang. He is sharp and loves to help with that type of stuff.

Mr Bill

Wade,
Nice videos. The front window view seems blinding, is that because it is back in the car and the ap. is opened way up? Will this transmit live or is it recorded on a card? Have a friend who needs a "live" mobile camera for a different project.
Thanks

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.

Very nice video's..I have to admit..I'm partial to the stick car video..It gave me goosies..

Manual trasmission cars are hands down, the most fun to watch as well as drive. Can you imagine watching a full event of stick shift cars, with a split screen jumbo tron and both cars having in-car cameras. It would only take a couple dozen cameras and a crew to switch them out. Or you could set-up 40-50 cars like nascar with motorized cameras. Now that would be super cool! Drivers that wanted to participate could place a quick disconnect camera bracket permanent on the cage/bar. Bring back Modified production...Bring back the Corvettes and chevy IIs....9500 RPMs and row that stick! Now that is excitement....Ok, it was just a dream....BUT IT WOULD BE VERY COOL!
