Yep, my set up isn't too bad considering overall costs but I don't have any decent fottage to show you at the moment ;)

Consists of a proper Sony bullet cam and an Archos hard drive recorder with a 20gig drive in it. Quality is more than acceptable for my uses. Not as good as a DV cam due to the lower resolution, but at less than £200 for the recorder (along with all it's other uses) I'm not complaining.

That's what I keep telling myself but then I'm not complaining :D

That'll be your main problem, it's a CMOS chip, not CCD. Quality won't be as good, may look a touch too grainy. Would be interested in seeing the results though :)

Now why is it that I don't believe you somehow? More likely to be indecent!:D

You ever played hide the bulletcam? :lol:

Felix 17-Feb-2005 15:22

No, but I'd love to see the footage!:lol:

Do you mean the 480 TVL -- 21CW[SHR] bullet camera?
The high res version (£125) runs at PAL : 752(H)X582(V) which is the same resolution as most DVDs are ripped/produced at. It's far past the quality of the average TV. The low res version (£88) runs at PAL: 500(H)X582(V).

I can't find them anywhere but
http://www.helmet-cameras.com/helmet_cam_pal.htm
http://www.rfconcepts.co.uk/sony_colour_ccd.htm
and they're probabily the same company.

Also note, these are wired cameras which improves the quality but makes them hard to stick in obscure places... sorry Felix ;)

The only thing that would let that down would be the recorder. That archos records in 512x384 but its very expensive... £300~. With anything, you get what you pay for...
