Bullet camera 520-line: 880003 $275.00
Our Bullet Cameras are very small, lightweight, weatherproof, and rugged. Optimized for racing. This camera outputs standard analog NTSC video.
The small size allows mounting in unique places such as inside the cockpit for a hands & feet shot, driver face shot, in the grill for the low angle shot, or even under the vehicle for a view of the suspension in action.
The BulletCam is weather and waterproof. Low weight means less vibration and a more stable image, higher reliability, and ultimately less chance of damage to the camera and to vehicle occupants in the case of an accident. For maximum reliability, the camera is a Sony camera with single printed circuit board with surface mount components and a board mounted CCD. NOTE: This camera is rated by Sony at 580 lines but we advertise it at the actual number of recordable lines which is 520.
Bullet Cameras use a wide-angle, lens which is ideal for motorsports. Many lenses are too narrow and the field of view just does not capture the excitement and vividness that you get with a wide angle lens.
The camera is mounted in a hard aluminum tube with standard camera mounting attachment points. The front is a replaceable acrylic protective cover. This is NOT a cheap webcam or security cam.
The camera is not a storage device. It only gathers the video and produces a standard analog video output. If you want to record the video, you'll need an external recording device such as our Personal Digital Recorder.
Camera has 3' cable
