What type of helmet camera is right for me?

We sell many different types of cameras. Most of our models (520Res / 520 Tornado Cam / 550Res) require you to use a camcorder with AV Inputs or one of our recorders (DVR’s) to record the footage.  The ATC-2000 allows you to record directly to an SD card, although the footage appears to be closer to 320X240, rather than the claim of 640X480 resolution.

Our best selling camera is our 520 Res Sony Camera. It’s a great camera for a great price! If you plan to purchase this camera, we’d also recommend the special EFX remote and the polarized filters, to help reduce sun glare.

Our newest camera is our 550 Res with varifocal lens. This camera can produce up to 550 lines of resolution and you can also adjust the view of the camera (zoom in/zoom out) by simply twisting the end of the camera.

Another popular choice is our 520 Res Tornado Camera. We recommend our Tornado Camera for use as a dash camera in vehicles or aircrafts. This camera is slightly larger than than the others, because it has a larger CCD sensor with Ex-View, meaning it will produce more vibrant colors than the 520 res camera and it will also give you the best results in low light conditions.

If you have a camcorder that accepts Audio/Video inputs, it's a simple plug and play.

If you do not want a camera that hooks up with a camcorder or DVR, we have the ATC-2000 available. The ATC-2000 records to an SD card and it’s very easy to setup and to mount as it has no wires. This camera is very popular with teens and amateurs. The product contains everything you will need, except the additional storage card SD, which we also sell.  This camera may seem to be the best solution, however the lens in this camera is a CMOS sensor, which is the same type of camera that is used in cell phones.  To read more about the differences between a CCD sensor and a CMOS sensor, please see our 'Truth about Resolution' guide.

If you don’t have a camcorder, but still want the best footage possible, we recommend any of our High-Res DVR products (for DVD quality footage) or our less expensive Mini MP4 SD Recorder to record the footage.

Overall, if you are looking for the best possible film quality, you will want to choose one of our higher resolution cameras, however if you're looking for a camera that is wireless and waterproof, the ATC-2000 w/ 2GB card will do a good job as well.

If you have any more questions, please email us at sales@stuntcams.com
