The new
SmartyCam 3 Sport is the continuous development of the HD camera with data overlay for motorsport. This version is the entry to videos in Full HD quality, designed to be more user-friendly than its predecessor and improved again in many points. The
SmartyCam 3 Sport delivers great Full HD videos with all the information you need in the overlay.
The Technology of the
SmartyCam 3 Sport is housed in a stable and splash-proof nylon-fibreglass-aluminium casing. The microSD card slot is located under the side cover and can be used to load the individual configuration. The microSD card is supported up to a memory size of 2TB.
As with the previous versions, an external GPS module can be connected to the camera, which allows you to show speed, lap time or position on the track without connecting to the engine control unit or the data logger.

Data Overlay AiM SmartyCam 3 Sport
For the SmartyCam 3 Sport, you can freely select which parameters are located at which position in the live video. The following parameters are available for the data overlay:
Engine speed, accelerator position, speed, brake pedal position, temperatures, accelerations, pressures, position on the track, driver and team name, time / date, lap time, gear, team logo
The DataOverlay can be created at any time with the RaceStudio 3 programme, modified and transferred to the camera with the microSD card.
CMOS-Sensor |
|
Pixel is not everything |
With Global Shutter CMOS technology, image distortion is avoided during video recording. This is possible because the images are not captured "pixel by pixel" as conventionally, but simultaneously. The result is footage that is still captured at higher engine speeds without the so-called ripple effect. |
|
The lens and the size of the sensor play a major role for cameras used in motorsport. In addition, it should be robust and avoid distortions that occur during rapid changes of direction. In addition, there is the problem that both close and distant things must come across sharply in the video. |
|
|
|
Memory
1 hour of recording takes about 5GB |
|
The videos of the SmartyCam 3 Sport are compressed to a user-friendly size without losses by the H.264 format. This means that we only need 5 GB for a one-hour Full HD recording.
These files are stored on microSD cards. With current microSD cards that have a storage capacity of up to 2 TB, you can record more than 400 hours of video without having to change the card.
When buying an SD card, pay attention to the read and write speeds. We recommend the SanDisk SDXC Extreme Pro / Ultra. |

The optics
Normal optics of the SmartyCam HD compact: when mounted in the cross of the roll cage of touring cars and GT cars, the image width is from A-pillar to A-pillar, which means the complete windscreen. |
|
Wide angle of the SmartyCam HD compact: with the same mounting, the field of vision expands from exterior mirror to exterior mirror, with the left one usually covered by the seat. |
|
|
|
Mounting
|
|
There is a 1/4 inch thread on the underside of the SmartyCam HD. This can be used to attach the camera to the vehicle using either a suction cup or a pipe claw.
Optionally and if prescribed by the organiser, the camera can be additionally secured with a wire rope.
