Title: Video Drive Camera
Post by: Barry & Cindy on July 24, 2010, 09:26:33 pm
We made a "Drive Camera" with an inexpensive color video camera and a 6-hour VCR tape.

Years ago I bought a small video camera from Sam's club that came with 50' of coax terminated in RCA plugs.

I have used it several times to find strange sounds while driving our Foretravel.
It has been cable tied under the coach looking at shocks and brakes to find a clicking sound.
And it has been fastened to the roof in search a driving sound.

I run the cable to a Video recorder and front TV to watch while we drive down the road.

For our new Drive Cam, we put the camera inside the front windshield facing forward to record the road as we drive.
At the end of the day,  I rewind the tape.
