    Can anyone tell me how the cameras are mounted on some track or even rally cars - especially externally as I imagine they are mounted to the roll cage internally?

    If suction cups are used how are the camera leads run through the car?

    Batteries and memory cards are your friends - they must be pretty much self-contained.

    Would they have to be seperate from a splitter box?

    i.e if the external camera is a secondary camera can it be feed to a splitter box to record onto a memory card via a DVR?

    I work in the industry..

    Depends on the cameras or what they are used for. The live cameras are insane cameras worth about 100k

    Most of the in the car cameras would use a bullet camera which we can pretty much put any where with gaffa tape. Inside the car we would use roll cage mounts, suction cups wouldent pass the saftey checks for rallying and track racing.

    At the moment I use a camera that uses a SD card, its HD and I can plug in a rally drivers intercom into it. We would use one DVR per camera. I also use a camera that is all in one package. I just strap it to anything I want, To get the different shots it doesent have any wires so its great for putting it in some places.
