I hard wired a 12v regulator for the cameras and bought a mic from maplin that is 12v as 4kam's mic uses button cells.
The results so far are ,

Downside is that their switch unit is huge so cannot be used on the go .
Easy to use and set up.

Just thought another option would be nice

That looks like a cracking piece of road, oooooooooooooooo you lucky bugger!
Nice footage, need to get my cam mounted lower on the bike, you just get a much better sense of the experiance.
Cracking vid fella.

Daylight

I used the lowest recording setting (240 * whatever) and actually the quality is pretty good!

The only problems I've got are:

1. Fitting the camera to the bike so that it's pointing the right way up was a bit of a faff.
2. Despite recording on the lowest setting 11.5 mins of footage comes to 416mb in avi format!!!!!

I have a (well 2) JXD638s.

Why are you using the lowest quality? IIRC it only has a 320*240 and a 640*480 setting ... I always use on 640 ..

Have you managed to sort the codecs yet? For both the AVI and the ASF recording formats.

I just got a DogCam for Christmas. Not sure which model it is but I need to find a suitble recording device for it now!
