Martel's Police In-Car Video Systems
Martel Electronics Dash-Hound Dash-Mounted Hi8 Unit Model DH-1

The Dash-Hound is an in-car Hi8mm police video system. The complete dash mounted system does not require any tools to install. This is the most affordable video system on the market. With over a thousand systems in use it is also one of the most reliable.

Along with the in-car ability to video, it also quickly snaps out of its mount and with the camcorders battery you are able to video outside the car for hours.The VHS tapes like the ones that you play in your VCR at home, have only 230 lines of resolution. The HI8 Tapes have a resolution of 400 lines. That means that if you have to print a license plate or a suspects face off the video you taped with this system, it will have a higher resolution than VHS. This will make higher quality copies for court or the DA.

The Dash-hound system is exceptionally portable and easily transferred from vehicle to vehicle in just seconds with no installation or mounting tools required. The unit comes with a hard shell carrying case that can be locked and taken home with the officer. The Dash-Hound mount is a professional suction cup combined with an adjustable aluminum arm. Where the camera meets the mount, there is a quick release, allowing for out of car use. The entire mount lays flat against the dash of your vehicle securely tied down. The adjustable suction cup and variable length arm permits custom fitting to your vehicle. The system installs in only 30 seconds and requires no tools or drilling. The Dash-Hound mount will remain stable in high speed chases and on bumpy roads. Now you can have full visibility of your windshield and still have all the evidence on tape! The mount is universal and works in all vehicles!
