The SmartyCam 3 Sport offers an 84 - degree wide - angle field of view (FOV), providing a broad perspective for your motorsport videos. It's available either with or without a Two - Port Data Hub. This camera features a compact design, which means it fits snugly into your racing cockpit, taking up minimal space. The new quarter - turn locking system ensures top - notch safety and quick closing. Engineered specifically for motorsports, the SmartyCam 3 Sport aims to capture amazing videos with all the essential information. It overlays data from both GPS and AiM data loggers connected to your ECU, making it an ideal choice for club racing or karting. Note that this camera can't be used as a stand - alone unit; it must be connected to a data logger with 12V power or a 2 - port data hub with an external 12V power supply. It comes with a global shutter CMOS sensor, shooting 1920x1080 FHD video at 30 fps with H.264 compression. The display resolution is 128x125 pixels, and the lens angle is 84 degrees. It has an internal, rechargeable 350mAh lithium battery and can operate on 9 - 15 volts of external power. It supports up to a 2TB micro SD card and can work in a temperature range from - 10°C to +60°C. The camera has auto power ON/OFF and auto start/stop recording features, and it can connect to all AiM systems via CAN and be configured with RaceStudio3 (RS3). Unlike generic HD cameras that produce large video files, the SmartyCam 3 Sport offers high - quality videos with smaller file sizes, thanks to optimized H.264 compression. It also eliminates the 'wave effect' caused by engine vibrations, providing smooth videos even at high RPMs. Built for extreme conditions, it's IP65 waterproof and made of machinery - molded aluminum, just like many competition car parts. And with its automatic start and stop function, you can focus on the race without worrying about operating the camera. All data from CAN and internal sensors are recorded in .mov files, and you can conduct in - depth data analysis using the information on your SD (or MSD) card, which is sold separately.
Using the SmartyCam 3 Sport is easy. First, make sure to connect it to a data logger with 12V power or a 2 - port data hub with an external 12V power supply, as it can't work on its own. Once connected, you can place it in your racing cockpit wherever you want, thanks to its compact design. The quarter - turn locking system makes it quick and safe to secure. The camera will automatically turn on and start recording when it senses the right conditions, so you don't have to worry about that during a race. When it comes to storage, insert a micro SD card (up to 2TB) to save your videos. After your race or test, you can remove the SD card and use the data in the .mov files for analysis. As for maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Since it's IP65 waterproof, it can handle some rough weather, but try to avoid long - term exposure to extreme conditions. Also, if the battery runs low, you can recharge the internal lithium battery. And remember, always follow the safety instructions and check the connections before each use.
