CCTV in Car?

[fas 0]

I had a customer come to me asking if I could install cctv IN his car. I know the police have this, and buses, but I'm not too familiar with it. He is having a problem with on street parking and vandalism. Is there an affordable option that I can recommend to him, and is it similar to regular cctv in installation? Thanks.

it depends a bit on what he wants it for. a lot are for monitoring while driving. however there are some which can be connected to alarm systems and record when it trips.

Hi,

 

Now a days cars come up with cameras installed in it. Usually they will install keyhole cameras in the back bumper and they will feed the input to the monitor. You can watch the road behind you, just like a mirror. For recording during parking you have to keep a DVR and you have to power up the system.

 

You can't cover the whole car with a single camera. So be specific about the camera location and purpose.

there are many dvrs for cars on the market to do your job but it gets expensive. and what people dont remember is the power used while the car is stoped. (record all night and come back to a flat batt) the cheapest option is a unit called t-eye this will watch most of the car from just mounting on rearview mirror.

Depending on how far away he parks, you might consider having a house-mounted camera watch his parking place.

 

I did this by changing out a single-lens ACTI megapixel camera for a Mobotix D12 with dual-imagers. One imager now covers the area where the original ACTI camera was pointing... the other is zoomed right in on where I park my car.

 

Easy.
