Ok, again no car updates as such, but was messing about with the camera earlier...
I trimmed the lens down...
...this should fit on the camera well now...
...attached with electrical tape.
The idea of this is that I can mount it wherever I like in the car and not worry about camera glare...so, onto mounting it...
This is what the front end should look like...
...1 min later...
...and insert the camera...
...then secure it.
Ok, camera sorted, sound now. Get the mic, find a decent place to put it...
...run all the cables as much out of the way as possible without working out where in the bulkhead there could be a possible hole to use...
Ok, so the cable route is not ideal as it'll mess with the seals, but at the moment I'm just testing this set up out and if I like it I'll see about routing cables through the bulkhead (which could be a right pain).
And a video...
It would seem that whilst it works I need to get a better pair of cheap sunglasses, with decent UV protection really. Still, this has been an interesting thing to run and proves that you don't need to spend loads of camera setups (although in fairness I would spend money on a decent camera and setup if I could).
Also I'm not sure if it's the software I'm using (Capture!) or the laptop I'm using, but often the video freezes for a couple of seconds, which results in the audio being out of sync and a frustrating watch too...still all I've spent on this is £2 for the sunglasses and £5 for the mic both of which I hacked apart.
...because I forgot to set the mic up.
