(Solved)Are there any device existing meet my needs?

[sam1275]

Hi everyone, I have an thermal imaging camera and I want to record video from it. It have a standard analog video out, but it don't have the ability to record on itself, so I need a external recorder, it need to have the ability to record the video from my TIC, while recording sound from another microphone (my TIC don't output any sound...), maybe take photos as well, and it need to be portable. But it needn't to have a screen because I can just view on my TIC screen (It's also ok to have one), also, no HD needed, as my TIC resolution is 320*240. I have looked for this for a loooooog time but still can't find a perfect one, however I have the following things found (According to EEV rules ):
1. Tons of these devices made by Chinese "companies" --- I absolutely don't want those! They are low quality and not reliable at all.
2. Pulsar Newton CVR640 --- No sound.
3. Old camcorders with AV in. --- Will work, but extra cost, weight, size for the useless internal camera component.
4. DIY one using  Analog-to-USB dongle+microphone+raspberry PI or beaglebone --- How to make it do the work without a QWERTY keyboard? Just a few buttons to turn on/off and start/stop recording.
5. Extech borescope BR200/250 --- Can take still pic as well, but useless camera with it, useless wireless screen, maybe also no sound.
......
So, please feel free to post any your ideas, I'll appreciate that!

Sony used to make those... Couldn't find anything current but you can get the older ones on ebay, e.g. GVHD700

Mike bought a product with the same thing in mind in 2012, complete with a review and teardown.

Thank you. But how to do that? So I need a phone with USB-Host? And which OS supports recording from USB?

Thank you, but they seems to be a bit expensive...

Sorry, but it is a Chinese product, besides, it have issues when recording B/W with NTSC. Thank you anyway.

I think he meant using the built-in camera of your smartphone to record the screen of the TIC. No cables involved there, just a steady hand.

Thank you, but that is not the way I want...

Neuros mpeg4 recorder, like ebay 111371774193 ?
Records SD video and audio onto a CF card or SD card.

(Not my auction, I've got one and it's not for sale...)

Yes, I know this one, but I already have a TIC, and I don't need to buy another one...
Also, resolution on FLIR One is too low, and I don't have an iphone, however, thank you for your reply.
