Here's a surveillance video from the car show tonight.

I trimmed a 2 hour video into 5 minutes.
See the kid on the little scooter? a little close don't you think?
A lot of people were giving the father a hard time by his son being close to their cars with it.

Cute ladies at the show this evening also.

This is quite a set up you have here. It is very entertaining watching the world go by without anyone knowing they are being recorded - I can now see why voyeurs do what they do.

By the way, what aftermarket Nav/DVD player did you install? Did that Nirvana MTV Unplugged video come with your DVD hookup?

on with my story

It was dinner time and a Culver's DB Cheeseburger was on my mind so off I go a few blocks away.

..... I was inside eating and I could not see my car for my entire dinner. When I finished eating, I headed back home.
Along the way in front of me was an S10 pickup with dual exhaust (I thought, possible V8). I was behind him for about 5 blocks and he was making all kinds of unnecessary noise with his exhaust.
When I turned the corner he moved over and it looked to me like he slowed down a bit. I thought to my self , he can't be waiting for me....
Then when I got next to him they just looked over. I decided to kick my rear towards him about a foot and let my exhaust scream through his open window. I never saw them again. Probably a 4 cyl.

....Back home, I was checking out the video to see if it was worth posting. When I was going through it I was surprised to see someone walking around my car and kneeling.Then I notice he was only taking pictures (no key scratches). You can also see him in my rear view mirror. I'm going to be posting some candid car videos of people talking ,some is pretty funny.

Hey
I have an Idea .
I should start a show called "Candid Corvette Cam" or CCC and post all my Vette's video encounters in parking lots. I'll turn my mic on high sensitivity so I can hear them whisper,what do you guys think ?

It looks like he likes my "AM WOODY" plates.

Here's a link to the chopped video.
I shrunk it down from 500mb to 12mb for download purposes. You can still enlarge it and see pretty good

The KOOLEST set-up what kind of cameras and DVR did you use. I'm into that trick stuff so shoot me a PM with the info.
Also did you install the cameras on the Halo ? It looks like that from the ft view.
Keep on filming you'll never know what you'll catch, especially if someone is scerwin with you.

Not illegal, you're in public where your conversation is not private and / or 3rd parties can overhear.

Ie: You're video taping an event while you're doing so you happen to catch, an accident, fight, arguement, something funny, well the person so happened to be in the area of your recording.

I enjoyed watching the video, too. Don't quite know why....just know I enjoyed it! Maybe you could do this every day at the same time, say lunch time and we could all watch the video together. It would be like we were all sitting in your Corvette.

I videotape sessions on the race track but I don't feel the need to surveil everything around my car when its parked. Good on you though for putting the system it.
