Title: Mounted video cameras on dogs! Post by: leonriverboy on July 10, 2010, 04:20:27 am Has anyone seen or heard of mounting a video camera on a dog? I was thinking that it could work like skipe(sp?) where the video image is immediatly viewed from a had held screne. It would be great if you could work it in with a Garmin unit. You could automatically view what you dog is seeing. What do you think?

Post by: firemedic on July 10, 2010, 07:41:50 am I saw a program on TV maybe last year, that put a small video cam on a hog that these guys had trapped and released, it looked pretty good to me. One of the guys I hunt with had talked to Rod or Rob, can't remember his name right off, anyway he's the guy from Jeager Pro, they had developed a small transmitter that you attached to a hog's ear and would transmit a signal for several miles that you could track, (I think), with a tracking unit like we all have. We were going to get one, I think they were about $200, but he postponed their release for awhile and we never actually got one. I'm thinking like leonriverboy,....that camera deal would be a heck of a thing to have on a dog.

Post by: huntin4bigboys on July 10, 2010, 07:46:35 am i watched a show on tv a while back where they mounted a small camera on a dog. they turned it out on some tracks and the dog found a hog and bayed it. they then put a tracking collar on the hog and came back i believe a few days later to see where the hog had traveled to. the video was stored in the camera and they viewed it after. it was cool to see the dog working the hog and then to see the hog running from the dog. it was a little hard to watch because the video bounced around alot. i've said a few times when i new for sure the dogs were running or even had a hog bayed and something would happen and the dogs would come back i wish i had a camera on the dog. i thought about trying a camera like the one's used on helmets and mounting it on a harness.

Title: Re: Mounted video cameras on dogs! Post by: USHOG on July 10, 2010, 01:17:03 pm The camera can be mounted with or with out the water proof case but the audio is not great when the water proof case is on. The video is the same either way
