    I want to install a system that can do three cameras simultaneously, anyone using anything like this? I want to have one looking out the windshield, and one off of each mirror looking back.

    I bought a 4 camera home security system with DVR at Walmart. I installed two cameras facing forward through the windshield (inside the wiper arcs), and two on the outside mirror brackets facing rearward. I installed the DVR in a bunk cabinet and had it running 24/7. It could record 30 days worth of video before it started overwriting. $400 was the cost.

    Do you have a model# or brand? I just looked on their site and there is a TON of them listed there. How big are the cameras? I want something that is small and not very noticeable.

    Mine was a Samsung, but I don't remember the model. I bought it about 2 years ago, and haven't used it since I started slip seating. The cameras were larger, about 2.5" in diameter. Smaller cameras will cost more. I believe that I posted about it here after I installed it, I'll see if I can dig up the older posts. I think I posted some video also.

    edit: Here ya go:

    Thanks for the mention.

    Oscar - if you would like to discuss the system in that link please call me at 866-851-2346 between 8 and 6 Pacific Time. This is one of the things we do. But we use a 12-volt miniaturized system with GPS position stamp + up to 4 cams. I can answer any technical questions pertaining to cameras for you as you do your researching.
