A Cheapo DIY Car Video Recorder

[Daveneo]

Hi,

 

I just did a DIY cheapo car video recorder. If you find it is useful, you can use it inside your car.

 

 

 

 

Quality of video:-

 

 

Details about my setup:-

 

Handphone: Sony Ericsson K610i

Recording: 1 min = 1 MB

SD Card: 2 GB (how many MBs is that? I think can record quite long)

Velcro: Free (found it at the dustbin)

 

Another setup was using my wife's better handphone and a suction handphone holder.

 

 

Video Quality:-

 

 

Details on setup:-

 

Phone: Samsung Preston

Camera: 3.2 Mega Pix

File size: 1 min = 3MB

SD Card: 1 GB

 

My wife's handphone better. Can see number plates.

 

The advantage I see here is that you can record everything in front. If someone reverses into you and say you knock into him, at least you have proof that he was the one who reverses into you. Or roll back (at most shopping centres nowadays, roll back very common).

 

Hope this is useful for you.

 

Thank you

 

Dave
