I'm going to try and incorporate a gps receiver, to show my speed and location on forwards and backwards facing camera's in my car.
The purpose for this is to help in the case of "staged" accidents where people run into you just to claim insurance.
Does anyone know how to record video onto a hard drive, or make a DVR?
I'd ideally like to record the video in real time 25-30 fps.
Ideally i'd like to compress the video so that it keeps the high quality but is recorded onto the hard drive in as small a file size as possible.
Alternatively for shorter journeys of up to 2 hours maybe recording onto a memory card might be an idea?
I'd like to have the hard drive option because sometimes we do a long journey to Cornwall and back which is about 11-12 hours or recording time.
I did consider making a proper in car pc unit so it's got most of the functions of the home unit, and all the above could be easily done, however I'd ideally like a stand along unit that I could just plug the 2 camera's into and start and finish recording by a button press (or by turning the ignition on)
All ideas welcome as the design is all still in my head at the moment, but the main things are I dont have a lot of money to spend or I'd just buy a commercial one.
