Hello, I'm new here.
I have been looking around for an automotive video system for a while and all I can find are these multi-thousand dollar systems that are way out of my price range.
All I need are 4 cameras, one monitor, (I believe I read I'd need a multiplexer to view all 4 at once?) and a simple digital hard drive system of recording so that it will not record over previous footage.
If it were an engine, I would be all set with where to get decent parts cheap and how to properly assemble them.
Hard wiring should not be an issue, but getting a digital hard drive to record all 4 cameras and where to order decent parts at a good price I have no clue about.
It was my hope I could get some guidance from this forum.
This was prompted by what we firmly believe to be an unmarked police car that blatantly cut off my wife and put her into the center divide K rail totaling our van and luckily my wife was not seriously injured.
It was closely following/escorting a clearly marked black and white unit way out of its area (22 miles out of it's area) headed in the direction of the county court house and did not stop.
That PD said there were no units in that area, marked or unmarked.
We need video installed once we get our new vehicle.
