So far it’s worked well in any incidents he’s been in. He posted a few pics of the install and a few videos, including one with road rage from another driver which resulted in an arrest and damages. ---

thats pretty intense, but it would suck if you did something stupid, had your car searched, and they found video evidence of it… haha, and whatever else you have been doing for the last 6 weeks. :lol ---

I had a similar setup in the avenger for accident purposes tapped into the laptop that was hard mounted into my dash at the time. One rear camera, front bumper cam, two in-cabin cams, audio. Worked the nuts. You know, if someone rear ended me or ran a light I had proof, or if that case came up where there was a dickhead cop. Never had to use it but it was nice knowing it was there just incase. Going to be doing the same in my kit car with a 3 way view aero pod outside the car and an in cabin camera/audio again, laptop recorded. ---

I have wanted to have a similar setup with a car PC, but I like the portable DVR like that guy had above. Ever since last year when a couple cops were being real dicks I’ve thought about installing one. I should start buying the components soon. I want to run all the cameras hidden in the pillars/mirrors. ---

If I had to rebuild this whole setup from scratch using these same components then it’d cost about $850. It stores 6 weeks of video based upon 1.5hours driving per day. It has 4 channels (two front, one rear, one drivercam). The front cam is split into two channels - one has the GPS data and the other doesn’t.
