DogCam Bullet camera news

 

02/05/08 New design microphone.

new mic with gain controller

This is quite possibly our best invention yet, it's certainly the most cunning!
You know when you watch all those car and bike videos on youtube the sound is all distorted? That's because up until now the only mics available for bullet cameras have really high gain and output too much noise for the recorder to cope with.

Our new mics have a built-in gain controller so you can turn the input down from 100% to just 5%.
With a bit of tweaking you should now be able to get perfect audio in even the loudest filming environments.

The new mic sells for just £25.00. We would like to thank our loyal previous customers by offering you this new mic for £15.00. Please call us with your previous order number to take us up on this offer.

All new camera kits and full packages will come with this new mic at no extra cost.
The new mic can be found here. 12v av mic with gain control.

 

20/04/08 DogCam article in ZERB magazine.

zerb magazine

When Momin Javaid (guest editor) asked us to write an article about bullet cameras for Zerb magazine we were only too happy to oblige. Momin had previously used our equipment during a shoot for a television news item. Zerb is an incredible journal for the Guild of television cameramen which comes out twice a year and so we are honored to be featured and would like to thank Momin for all of his work and kind advice. If you'd like to know more about our company and it's founders, please read the Zerb article here.

15/04/08 VholdR is here!

vholdr helmet camera system

A great new product for you. If you like the idea of the ATC2000 helmet camera system without wires but you want better quality video then check out the new VholdR from Twenty20 cameras. This is the latest in wireless camera technology and probably the way forward for customers looking for a simple and effective solution to head mounted cameras. More info on the VholdR here.

cnc alloy windscreen mount

Looking for a great way to mount your bullet camera to the inside of your windscreen pointing outwards? This is a very high quality CNC alloy mount specifically machined to fit our HQ1 bullet camera. We have a huge range of camera mounts now available. If you can't find what you're looking for then please let us know and we will see if we can design something to suit your requirements.

07/04/08 Neutral density lens filter packs back in stock.

All cameras have a hard time when faced with direct sunlight. It's not always possible to avoid this with a head or vehicle mounted camera. You might find your video suffers from glare and also image smear. You can reduce these effects by fitting an ND lens filter to your camera which will dramatically improve the quality of your video. If you're planning to film in sunny conditions or even in the snow, we really recommend using a filter kit. Each kit is supplied with a special tool for fitting the filter to your camera.
Please note: these filters have been specifically designed to work with our Pro zoom model and our Sony HQ1 bullet cameras.
They will not fit cameras from other suppliers. Buy your ND lens filter kit from this page.

The ultimate HQ1 bullet camera mount has to be the very best way to mount the HQ1 camera to a cage or roll bar ever. Using a combination of Manfrotto super clamp and a high quality ball head with unique CNC alloy brace this is our chosen mount for professional in car filming.

20/09/06 Pro Zoom Upgrade.

We've had our Pro Zoom cameras electronics upgraded to a 550 line resolution Sony SuperHAD chip. Coupled with a new lens manufactured by Canon, this is as good as it gets!

Think you could make yourself some money reselling our products? The market size and scope for DogCams is much too big for just us to cover. Why not contact us and ask about a reseller application for DogCamSport Products.

12/09/06 Lanc Protective caps.

Added a protective cap to the LANC page. Gives a much greater degree of protection whilst using your lanc remote. Also added spare velcro pads for your universal bullet cam mount.

06/09/06 PIP videos added.

Not the most exciting video clips we've ever made but just a quick demo to show you how the PIP system works with 2, 3 and 4 cameras. For the rear facing camera you might notice that we have used the quad processor to mirror the image so it's flipped the right way round. See the PIP video clips here.

29/08/06 Picture in Picture.

We've had our quad processor upgraded with PiP capability. This allows you to film from more than one camera at a time. You can have a forward facing camera at full screen and up to two more cameras in PiP mode on the same screen at full frame rate at the same time. For a forward and rear facing camera set up you can digitally "mirror" the rear facing camera which looks much more professional and logical to the eye. The best thing is the price remains £79.99 for the improved quad processor.
Expect a video from us showing this off very soon.

26/08/06 Video added.

This is a short video from a plane ride in a Robin 2160. We flew around Cornwall and over the Camel estuary. Then we flew over Padstow and we've pointed out DogCamSport's head quarters. See if you can spot us! Watch the in flight video.

24/08/06 Little red stickers.

Our customers have spoken and we have listened! All DogCam bullet cameras now come with a vinyl sticker in the form of a red arrow so you can easily position your camera the right way up. Quite frankly, we're gutted we didn't think of this sooner. If you already own a DogCam and would like a red arrow sticker to help you orientate your camera then send us an email with your order number starting "RC" and we'll get one in the post to you.

Added a new camera mount to the mounts page. This heavy duty suction device is best used on vehicles, we have found it particularly useful for mounting to the inside of a car door window facing the camera forwards or at the dashboard.

25/07/06 New Video.

We've just put together a new video clip for the site. Filmed with a 520 Pro Zoom camera down at "the track" in Portreath. An interesting thing about this clip is comparing the scenes filmed with the DogCam to the external shots filmed with just a Sony Camcorder. We're not exaggerating when we say the quality from our camera is better than camcorder's own lens.

What's the best thing about owning a DogCam bullet camera?

For starters, the DogCam range of helmet cams aren't just any old bullet cameras. That's why we saw fit to give them a name. Many different types of camera can be labeled as a "bullet camera" but only a DogCam is a DogCam! We will only put our name to the highest quality cameras available and produced exactly to our spec. From now on, if you see any helmet cameras and it say's "DogCam" on it then you know you're in the presence of first rate technology. Secondly, if you own a DogCam you'll get our 100% support should you ever need it. DogCam's are guaranteed for 12 months. In the highly unlikely event that your helmet camera malfunctions whilst under guarantee we will replace it for you within a few working days. If your camera should die after 12 months (unlikely) then you'll be entitled to a new camera at a reduced rate. Don't be fooled in to purchasing a cheap security camera. Our bullet cameras have been designed to spec to do the job. These products are also known as bike cams, lipstick cameras or pencil cameras. Sometimes they are called a sports camera. The correct terminology is bullet camera. Bullet cameras are also mass produced for the cctv market. It's important to remember that all bullet cameras are not the same. In fact, there are some very cheap versions available on the market. As we found out a long time ago, it's not worth spending your money on a cheap camera, they just can't take the rough and tumble we expect you subject your DogCam helmet cam to. Make sure yours is a DogCam!
