Aviation and Automotive Video Recording System

Many of you that have been following my radar detector videos over the past eight years have contacted me asking about the new dual camera system that we’ve been using.

As I do several video reviews each month I needed a dual camera system that I could use that would be able to focus on the product that I’m testing and another camera focusing on the operator of the vehicle for commentary.

Another major consideration I had was having a system that I could easily interchange between our different vehicles and my plane.

As a pilot, I found that having a video useful in my ongoing training so I could critic my landings and take offs, but also a great tool to capturing the scenery during my flights.

After doing some exhaustive research and speaking with professionals in the industry, we chose the dual DVR camera system developed by DataToys, a company that specializes in the motorsport video industry and who have developed aviation and automotive video systems for the military, government agencies and aviation.

For the application in our Cessna 182 we mounted one camera under the wing and the other inside the cabin, mounting the DVR system under the rear seat.

Then in only a few minutes we are able to move the entire system to any of our test vehicles unplugging the cameras and the DVR from the plane and reinstalling it in our test cars for our radar detector tests.

If you’re in the market for a high quality and simple to use video recording system for your car, truck, motorcycle or plane, I encourage you to check out the DataToys.com website
