Re: Guide to putting together an In-Car Video Camera System

hmmmm, my baby Canon has one, ZR45 MCA, about 4 years old, may have to get a slightly better model for the Lanc in a Canon. Not a bad idea to get a higher quality camcorder anyway since you will be using it for more than just incar video, at least I do, more flexible that way.

BTW, the Lanc (Lan - C) is a connection that allows for remote control of the camcorder functions via the remote button that comes with the bullet cam rig. Very important in that you can turn the record function on and off after you have been belted into the car. Trust me, it's a bummer to find out the cam has dropped out of record mode when you are sitting on the grid, sucks! With Lanc you can recycle the cam and get it started again using the remote button.
