Which in car camera?

[captainpugwash]

Looking for suggestions for a camera to mount in competition saloon car. Ideally something that's fairly sensibly priced &
above all is easy to use & setup.
Thanks

I use an SJ4000 that I bought off of ebay a few years ago.

Considering the cost (about £40 from memory I'm happy with the results)

Thanks, is that simple to operate?

[andye30m3]

Yeah, one button to start and stop.

Only thing which would be beneficial would be a remote control, we have to have it mounted in such away that the driver is visible which means I have to start recording before i've got in the car and sorted belts out etc but at the price I really can't complain.

Thanks for that

I've got a SJ4000 too, great quality for the price. While it doesn't have a remote, it can be operated via a phone app if you get the wifi version.

I might be stating the obvious here, but one of the main concerns in a saloon car is how the camera judges its lighting level. I tried filming a bit on trackdays in my Elise years ago and it was fine with the hood off, but with the hood up it adjusted itself for the light level inside the car, leaving the track all washed out and over-exposed.

I use a bog standard Go Pro and am very pleased. The only annoying tendency is for the mounting to slip over bumps occasionally, leaving the camera pointing in a slightly different direction.
