I was transporting a Viper from the Nelson Viper Collection yesterday and took a picture of my infamous trailer cam.

For those that don't know, I've been transporting cars (mostly Vipers) with my trailer and a Duramax dually. My truck is outfitted with navigation, 4 monitors, 2 playstations, XM radio, TV, CD, DVD, and the list goes on. Anyway, I decided to put video cameras in my trailer so I could keep an eye on the car while I was going down the road (gives me peace of mind). So I have 2 cameras inside the trailer (front and back) and a rearview camera for backing.

I started my career as a digital hardware engineer and I'm also a gadget freak. I still like to fool around with this stuff so I rigged up an RF wireless remote to select which camera I want to watch and I just designed a voice recognition module that interfaces with the RF remote so I can simply tell it which camera I want to watch. I know, way over the top, but why not?


Here's a picture of what it looks like from the driver's seat:

That's cool ..... and voice recognition :) Why don't you come up with a 3 or 4 camera recording system that we can use for closed course racing AND traffic stops.

I'm working on a couple of interesting wireless video products--stay tuned!

Fantastic setup and exceptional service. I have used many lines of high end transporters and Gary's the only one to trust, from experience, with your car. The car being transported in the pic is my RT, and most likely received better care than most newborn children. The cameras are cool as well.

Danny, I bet it still feels like a dream, huh?
