ST1100 :: S-cam Day Ride Test

Daytime test of S_cam +Sony CCD bullet cam. Same route as night test ----- Unit is an S-cam with internal 8gb flash drive which I bought direct from Chinavision (why pay a premium elsewhere, other sites are selling the same item for nearly £200!!) for a total cost inc shipping, taxes of just under £120 Although it does come with a mount it's not really suitable for a helmet so I bought one of these from the site I didn't buy the unit from ;o) Total recording time on the 8Gb is between 180 and 520 minutes depending on quality setting,. There's a video time setting of 10,20 & 30 mins which splits the recording every X minutes. You can also record direct onto an SD card. It is possible to power the DVR using the supplied USB lead and a cigarette lighter to USB converter however the software is a little picky about which order you plug things in and power it up the better option would be to use the DC in jack using a multivoltage adaptor from somewhere like Maplins/Halfords (already had one) . I've also been trying a 'Stealth' install with the DVR in the LH fairing pocket which (IMHO) does highlight that a external low gain Mic may be preferable (or that I need new speakers on this PC as it doesn't sound so bad when hooked up to the PC or TV lol)
