Car video is now becoming a standard feature in many vehicles. Full size monitors as well as visor-sized screens are available both in many vehicles from the manufacturer or as stand alone products. You can self-install car video into your current automobile or have a professional install a system for you. Originally considered luxury items available only in town cars and limos, car video players are now priced for use in all cars. Your passengers can watch television, vhs tapes, or dvds while traveling. Car video tuners are perfect for long trips as they not only keep you entertained, but can help you stay up to date with local news, weather, and traffic.
There are a variety of car video players available for self installation. An in-dash module is the easiest to install and works much like car cd players. You simply remove your current radio or cd player and replace it with the in-dash video tuner faceplate. You will be able to play cds, dvds, perhaps even mp3 cds, as well as tune in to local tv stations. In-dash car video tuners work in conjunction with a monitor. Most people choose to install visor style monitors, as they are the most compact. They are easily installed in the front of the car in place of traditional sun visors.
Car video is not only fun to watch, but it can also be an excellent learning tool. It’s important to note that for the in-car footage, we kept our roll cage video mount in the location we normally shoot from with our traditional video camera. If we were to permanently mount any of these systems in the racecar, we would move the mount for a better perspective. These videos will, however, give you an idea of the video and audio capabilities of each system.
