*they required batterys and charging, this can be very inconvienent at the racetrack *they are standalone, so they take no inputs, and as such are just a video. *They need to be started and stopped manually, easy to forget to record an important moment. it has these features that make it better: The MoTeC VCS is designed for motorsport, and as such is designed just for that purpose. *CAN bus communications allows the MoTeC data systems to send and recieve messages to the VCS *12v vehicle power runs the unit, no batterys or charging. *unlike most units, we write gauges to the video live, as the camera is recording, so when you download, you dont have to do any data syncronisation and post processing to complete the video *This means that you can log camera diagnostics, and view card capacity on the dash. *What this means is that you just download your data and video, then when you go into i2 std or pro, the video just appears with the data, no other camera system has this level of integration with a data system *The VCS recieves CAN syncronisation messages, so that data syncronisation is automatic. *Using the CAN messages, you can configure your own start / stop conditions, for example, you can make the camera start when you first hit full throttle, and stop when the engine goes below 500RPM.

I found it a) really difficult to get the data in synch with. Sadly, the gopro, which are terrific cameras, seem to have less good software etc. Up till now I have been using the gps data from the gopro. I am in a very similar situation to yourself, and am using a Go Pro HD camera and manually trying to synch the video with the data, and using software called Race Render. Here’s my first attempt at using mychron telemetry data in race render. Race Render will put data on the HD Pro (or any camera's) video by outputting a. csv file from i2 standard and adding data in Race Render as you see fit. I, probably like many, saw the price of the VCS stuff and thought, "Hey, I can do something very similar for a tenth of the price". well, I admit it, I can't, it's been a frustrating waste of time messing with synching stuff manually, waiting for huge. csv files to be created, waiting literally hours for video to be rendered on a PC that's not designed to do this, blah blah. All my pals who say Motec is over priced, and does nothing that brand X can't do, has mega dear add ons etcetera, got to me.
