Any 12vdc cam will work in a car/van.
Any DVR will run ( just about on 12vdc).

getting the image transmitted out of a farady cage is another matter.

Onboard DVR can be used http://www.henrys.co.uk/cctv/vehicledigitalvideorecorder.htm

Or a smart one. http://www.henrys.co.uk/cctv/portabledigitalvideorecorders.htm

Cameras, how are you going to hide it/them ?

After my son fitted a wireless camera in the fishpond outside so we could watch the fish on the tele got me thinking ...........he did it as a suprise for his mum.

I remember watching a posted video of an american recreational vehicle, he must have fitted cameras in to the door rear view mirrors, anyway he caught a late fifties year old chap scratching and vandalising both sides of his vehicle !

So I thought some experts in this field could point me in the right direction !
to see whats available and where and potential pitfalls !

PS was thinking interms of minature type spy cameras !

something like : http://www.roadhawk.co.uk/

You could do it a bit cheaper.

http://www.henrys.co.uk/cctv/307.htm Far smaller and neater, but wired. Easy enough to hide the cables though.

The major difference would be the collision detection on your link.

Wireless DVR recording may work fine while it is on your drive, but what if you drive away?

Instead how about using a 12v DVR and a solid state HDD hidden somewhere in the car. You can usually get the data off via a USB port etc.

The SS drive should survive the knocks and bumps of our roads better than a conventional one.

Yes - just found that.

Even better than messing with another type.
Although I would replace the HDD myself, especially with the roads near where I live.
