Carcam Portable Car Camcorder Demo


Video demo of the Carcam Portable Car Camcorder. Filmed on Metro Manila Skyway southbound.

Notes:
1. Video format for the car camera is .AVI using motion JPEG encoding, which is archaic by modern standards.
2. A Class 4 32GB micro SD card was used to film the video; hence the jittery quality.
3. The camera is not true HD, as the recording format is 1280 x 960 (not 1280 x 720 or 1920 x 1080) and there is no HDMI port.
4. Microphone was disabled in this recording, as it's rubbish. The music you hear is whatever YouTube has on their playlist.

Still shots photographed using a Canon PowerShot SX230 HS. Edited in 720p HD with Camtasia Studio 8.
