DH - The kid before Christmas

The last and almost most important part of my video capture gear is arriving tomorrow.
Two Bullet cameras with 520 TV Lines resolution. I am planning to mount one below the wingtip and the other facing backward from behind the swan hook on the front below the wing.
The Portable Video Recorder arrived 2 weeks ago:

Pity it has a "base station", the input cable was not supplied in the box to record direct from analogue source. But that is on back order. I will use a 5V step down transformer in the meantime to power it. But once the AV cable arrives I can plug the splitter in directly and record to hard disk on battery for up to 12 hours.
Next step is to build suitable mounting brackets for PVR, splitter and cameras!
The splitter can take 4 analogue sources and as you can see in the pic it is minute! Even comes with a remote! I am planning to mount my current Camcorder on the trapeze bar like Rudi does and then still have 2 available inputs to plug more cams in.
ForensicFlyer has also organised me some generic plugs to power all this lot from a deep cycle sealed battery (similar to those you find in UPS' - of which I have 4 that I constantly keep on charge
- Land change battery and off we go again!!!)
Thanks in advance for hooking me up with all the gear ForensicFlyer!!!
