Witness to Hit & Run

[Cheeze]

Hi fellow bros & sis, was wondering if any of you were driving along CTE towards AMK just behind Orchard road (holiday inn) at 31/12/06 around 12am onwards and witness a lorry knocking into a scooter?

 

Stopped by the road side to help but the old uncle didn't remember the number plate...was wondering if any of you driving along that stretch of CTE saw and noted the lorry number?

 

Thanks!

[Cheeze]

Sigh.... another appeal for witness. Sometimes these people don't get the justice they deserve.

 

That's one reason why I sometimes plant a camera on top of my dashboard to record video as I drive. You'll never know when a loser is going to reverse into you and claimed that you rear-ended him.

 

Anyone here has lobang for those in-car camera systems with 4 cameras that can do recording on the road as well as 24hr recording even when vehicle is parked overnight?

Yup, anyone can advise where to get those? Sis & me wanna have the cameras to capture when there's accident involve. Dont' care whether is ours or others fault. Can prove as evidence mah..

hard to find cctv systems for car that has 4 cams and does 24 hr video recording simply becos the batt in yr car isn't good enuf to power the cams for so long. Those with 4 cams are usually using hard disks to record the video and hard disks do suck up a substantial amount of power.

So a way around it is to install another car batt in yr boot but that will up the cost of the cctv system by alot. As it is, workshops installing 4 cam cctv systems already charge in the region of $1k to $1.5k and this is without installing the extra batt in yr boot somemore.

But I think there are systems that can record for long periods of time, albeit at a lower quality and record pics and not video.. can try CyberEye. That one was in the news last time cos it caught a lady vandalising her neighbour's car. But be prepared to pay a bomb for it.

me & a few buddies are planning to install a cctv system, up to 4cams(max), c/w motion sensors(we proposed for this, to save batt life) to trigger recording during parked, 100G-HDD.

Our basic package is for 2cams(night-mode, front & rear), budget around 1k...+/-..

 

it's a Taiwan product.

 

 

if more brudders interested, tink shld b able to get a cheaper deal lor.

(as we r still negotiating for the price now lo...)

For your recorder, which model will you be getting? I saw in Sim Lim 6th floor at a shop that specialises in surveillance cameras (near escalator) there is this 4-channel HDD-based recorder called AverDigi EB1304 (yes, from Avermedia). I'm considering connecting my 240V inverter to this APC UPS with 3 sockets, and use only one of it to power this AverDigi thing, and use it to control all 4 cameras. It can support a IDE HDD up to 500GB. My only concern is the electrical load of the inverter during charging of the UPS as well as the vibrations experienced by the HDD during the car's motion. Also the "battery life" of the UPS in powering the recorder.

 

Estimated costs:

Inverter $40

UPS $75

AverDigi EB1304 $400

IR-capable Cameras 4x $15

 

Any advice whether this is safe to work? I've got the Inverter and the UPS already actually.

here's a brief details of the recorder..

As for ur Averdigi + the rest of the system.., see if u can find the estimated total power consumption or not...

..then we'll be able judge whether it's safe or not lo..

hello bro.. i'm interested.. today an idiot swerve into my lane cos another idiot filter into his.. stupid guy.. why can't he brake..

lucky i reacted and jammed brake in time..

if something untoward happen, this camera will serve me justice.. such case usually 50-50 one.. confirm lose ncd..

 

the video looks clear enough.. only concern is the hdd.. can it be sd card or something stateless? hdd's mechanical parts will konk sooner/later..

 

let me know if you need to meet up and speak with the shop owner.

too much of such lousy buggers around

[Gtti]

the HDD is those laptop type. shld b able to withstand shocks..

he has another model, it's recorded into Compact flash mem card.(but not sure if it's an older model anot..)
