looking for a surviellance cam for the truck

Here is the number of a guy I bought mine from 214-766-6008

 

Wait you want a camera to spy on the guys doing repairs? Sounds like that is what you want.

 

Just buy a GoPro. They'll record up to 8hrs if set right and are pretty cheap and useful.

 

How many cameras ans where do you want them mounted?

 

If you call that guy I gave you the number to he will get you rolling. The use almost no juice so you can leave it running all the time. Mine shoots in cab and front of the truck, but he will cut ya a deal for more I bet. Sorry about what happened I hope you get it resolved!

 

I like the wildlife surveillance camera's at Walmart.

So no monitor on the dash or the visor? Just a "black box" style that is recording 2 outside cams on the mirrors?

An SD-card DVR with 2 cams with a 32 GB memory card in it will record about 29 hours before it starts to over-write the earliest video if set on highest quality. If you lower the quality to "normal" and set the frame rates from 30 fps to 15 fps then you would get more like 4 days recorded before it began to over-write. But again, you give up quality or frame-rates to extend time. If this is enough recorded time then that will be the cheapest at about $600. (max of 4 cams capable)

If you want more video stored than 29 hours and want GPS position (video shown with a Google Map next to it when you play back on the computer) then you need a system with a hard drive instead of just the SD method. Like, a 250 Gb hard drive would store about 9 days of video on highest quality before it began to overwrite oldest videos then you are looking at more like $900. On "normal" quality that hard drive would go 16 days continuous before over-writing.
