Having been the target of a road-rage attack recently (driver behind chucked a rock at me) I can see the value of having front and rear cameras recording. They're actually pretty affordable these days (see http://www.etronixmart.com/vosonic-gv6330-vehicle-safeguard-night-vision-car-video-camera-p-516.html?osCsid=a075cabb7bdc23a203f9e79fbc0dcc78 ). However I was thinking of something more durable:
* front camera mounted on the driver's sunshade, able to be aimed by hand if desired * rear camera on the parcels shelf, protected from overhead sunshine * single-board computer somewhere, receiving the pix, cropping them and recording them onto a 80GiB disc drive * little screen visible to the driver, usually showing the rear view [handy for parking] * some sort of control switch for e.g. temporarily increasing the normal recording rate from 1 frame/second to perhaps 4 frames/second if the driver desires The TS-7250 looks suitable (http://www.embeddedarm.com/products/board-detail.php?product=TS-7250) but the only cameras I've found have composite video output e.g. Jaycar's QC3491. Can anyone suggest hardware suitable for such a setup, please?
