RACECAR 8 MegaPixel BulletCam and double suction mount for less than $100

4 March 2008 · Staff

If you are considering running video cameras in /on car we just found the perfect solution using a double suction cup mount for a pencil/webcam.

Bought one in ALDI called a “Bath or Shower Support Bar” for $9.99 !!
These seem to sell under other names for $30!!

PERFECT! Double suction cup safety probably means you could hold a handy cam (with a life line attached!) as well, they seem so strong on a decent flat glass or metal surface.

Works great with a $80 Eight (8) Megapixel bullet webcam “SPEED S8850i PC Camera” at 800 × 600 32FPS USB connection into my Laptop.

Just put a circular hose clamp onto the bullet cam mount around the mid handle and adjusts to any angle.

 

Example Video at top of page in WMV Format which is extracted from the higher quality AVI from AMCAP.

Great VIDEO for less than $100 – NOT inc laptop of course!

The webcam comes with AMCAP & VP-EYE software and the video drivers for the bulletcam

but you can use the native movie maker in windows or any other video capture software.
