I guess I should send a PM.

Don't worry about it, you've been very responsive and are still offering great deals when you could in all honesty probably be making a killing here if you listed the remainder on ebay. Thanks for the email and all the good work.

You snooze you loose. I don't ***** when I miss a good deal on a mod I want for my car.

Why I need 2? Because the one I have is B&W. I want to have 2 cameras, one for front of the car, and one for rear. The computer will be recording both like in survalence.

Me too. Got the back in (different camera), just waitng for the lens to come to moun the other in the front. The other nitemaxes are for tinkering.

Don't know how you plan to record, I'm not using the PC (at least not alone), I'm using a security VCR I got off ebay cheap (Sanyo SRT6000). Get's up to 40 hours of one tape, has a million screw terminals (for alarm inputs,etc) and rs232/rj485 control. Which if you're interested in that route, I've written a perl module to control those vcrs.

Yeh

I plan on putting in a PCI card that does recording. Computer has a 160gb HD. I'll be offloading the files once a month to DVDs. So I think it would be awesome. I'll probably retrofit my fog lights to IR emitters and mount the camera ontop or behind my mirror.

Pretty close trajectories.
I have a couple cap cards, but I'd really like something better (and linux friendly)

The ones that I have that are usable under linux aren't all that fast (especially considering my current setup is a 433 laptop with a slow but rugged Endurostar harddrive). I'll have to get a hauppauge at some point.

Also figure the vcr will survive a much bigger impact if someone nails me. The NM is going on mirror, I'm putting ir in the fogs too. Got the illumiators off some medical equipment, have issues controlling them though so it's off until I get some more free time.

I unfortunately use windows, as its hard designing programs for the mass market (windows) under linux

I'm sure I can find a card on ebay that has multiple inputs. Probably has software too.

why not just buy a color CCD and wire the board with RCA out and power in? You don't need a whole camera for what you want to do. Save yourself a buck or two.

Yeh.... I don't need the LCD. I just need the CCD, and the RCA out, and the case so I can mount a lens.

hehe, nitemax has actaully made me want to invest in a TV capture card wit its RCA out. I'm still not sure why you want to record everything at all, since you'll either need to set up an auxilary computig system to do it easily (see SBC) or have it leech valueable proccessor and memory space. but i would do a solid state or microdrive, for shock restance and best writing performance under bumps, and then burn its contents to DVD. maybe i don't get why you want to because i don't like creating, having, and stockpiling DVDs of hours of evidence of my traffic transgressions
