[Fot] Bullet Style Cameras

[Larry Young]

I bought a simple lipstick style security camera and mounted it on the 
rollbar.  You need a recorder to go with it. You could buy a standalone 
recorder, or you can use an ordinary camcorder to record.  I took the 
camcorder route, since I already had one.  It is a bit cumbersome to 
record, but gets decent pictures.  Power comes directly from the 12v car 
battery. It cost about $250 to get it all setup, color but no sound. You 
can get sound for more $$. This is a lot cheaper than the ones I've seen 
in the race catalogs.  I'd suggest you talk to a knowledgeable person at 
a good video store.
