    CCTV for Cars

    Hi I've read a couple of very good articles here about installing CCTV in cars but with the pace that technology moves nowadays I would like some up to date advice. I have a problem in that I have to park on the street and my car is being damaged at night. I am not too bothered about recording while I am driving. I would like to install a flush fitting cameras into the Front and Rear bumpers and cameras to record what happens outside my Driver's & Passenger's door (Lipstick or Bullet cams?) I would like all these 4 areas illuminated with IR but realise these could drain my battery. And of course all this recorded on a DVR, preferably a fully solid state device with a removable memory card that I can dump to a computer. Obviously I would like good quality images from my system. Can anyone offer me any advice and/or recommend any particular bits of equipment. Thanks in advance. So what I would like to fit CCTV into my car that will record what happens

    CCTV for Cars

    Challenges are there to be met. There are two routes - A bigger/better battery supply or less power consuming equipment. A normal car battery is designed to give lots of current on a few demands. Mobile homes have Leisure batteries and they are designed to give lower currents over longer periods. But fitting an extra battery is expensive and more importantly bulky. So what of low power consumption equipment? What is the lowest power consuming good quality CCTV camera? IR lighting - is there a way to have low level IR lighting until movement is detected?
