bullet cameras

Post by JohnW » Tue Oct 26, 2004 12:50 pm

Since a few of you asked me about these following the one I posted up a while back that my mate was selling I thought I'd post the web address of the company that sells them.

http://www.highviewelectronics.co.uk/

I've not used these myself but have seen them in use, and they as good as you can get.

Group buy anyone ?? :lol:

I'd be up for a group buy, but I think the URL you've posted is a tad pricey...

I don't think they are quite the same thing Phil, but am prepared to be corrected.

My understanding was that the cameras highview sell are digital output ones requiring a DV input, not a standard pal line signal. Consequently they give better quality images.

Right I see. You da man when it come to photographic wizardry.

Would be worth a quality comparison then IMHO.

I'll see if I can dig up any comparison data, or see what my mate thought as no doubt he would have researched this before splashing the cash.
Might take me a little while though as this week I'm a bit preoccupied...

No probs mate. We don't really need them until the next track day anyway.

Right, I contacted the company and it seems they are NOT DV input jobs. I'm not sure of the camera mounts that you get (i.e. whether they are more suitable for a car/bike) but on the face of it the specs are very similar.

Therefore I think your two companies look to be a far better bet Phil.

When I'm thinking of getting one I'll post up, see if anyone else fancies trying to get a discount.

I have sent an email to RF Concepts and have asked for their advice on what is best suited to our needs. I have also enquired as to the possibility of some discount on the items.... See what we get back.
