Default Bike cameras

I've used helmet cams for ages on the enduro now and got some really good results from a very basic setup (ATC-2K).
I was browsing the net looking for something newer with more memory when I found this :-

http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/at-1-wi...et-cameras.htm

I added a 8gig sd card to the order and am really happy with the service and package.

£149 for a cheap good quality setup.

Remote camera means no wires so you can move the camera about on the bike easier and you can even view what the camera is seeing from inside the pub on the wireless handset....

The camera arrived the very next day so I (very quickly) mounted on the bar end weight before meeting up with Plowsie and VT.

The sound can be a little fuzzy as times due to the wind but I plan to just pop a patch of sponge and tape over the mike.

I will add a few videos soon.

Nice! whats the battery life like on the wireless cam or is that part wired to the bike?
If you could hook up 2 cameras that would be ideal (front/rear)

Do the camera and the recorder use the same charger? I mean, can you charge them both at the same time?

I got 2 hours of top quality footage with one charge but speaking to the guys at dogcam they say it needs to be fully charged and depleted a few times to build up the battery life.

The cam it totally wireless but I'm installing a charging point on the bike to plug it into so will then be powered from the bike battery.

Both are charged via a mini USB port .
You get one pc lead and one mains charger.
I plugged both into the pc to charge no problems at all.

what would be good is a cheep looping dvr so when you turn on bike it auto starts recording.

ive seen the HQR-1 & HQR-2, good thing with these is they can do auto start but what i dont like is that (if you have it on cycle) everytime you turn on it wipes the old files, but it also supports LANC, so you have have a remote on it to start stop, the HQR-2 can also record PIP of two inputs. Big problem is that all these units are just too expensive.

I have a oregon scientific bullet camera, which doesn't have too bad results . Think they're about £50 second hand.

I just gave mine to Mr VT.

The quality of this one is better and the real bonus is that you can see what you are going to record on the screen first.
