In Car "dash Cams"

[Sidewinder]

Hello peeps,

Does anyone have one of these in car cameras or any experience of such things please?

Starting to look at them as it looks like my daughter was a victim of a crash for cash last night!

I know stable door bolted horse etc.

Thanks in advance,

Sorry about that. It's becoming so much more prevalent. Piece on such frauds in The Times today.

Wasn't there a thread on TEF on dash cams a short while ago?

Tbh for the price I'm very tempted by this:

Was in fact just about to make a (slightly drunken) purchase but the wife's just said she has Coopers vouchers so to hang fire.

I know it seems v.cheap. But then ref the seller I have one of their driveway alarms and its fantastic with a very long range too.

^^^^^^

I have one of those cameras, 

£15 on ebay, they are all the same generic cams, I've seen a few of them, local car parts place sells them, identical, just a different name on them. 

For 15 I'm happy enough, wouldn't have wanted to pay £30 tho,  

I think it was Andy had a good one at about £70 iirc, that's the one I'd go for next, had gps etc on it

ive got one of these (or very similar)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-0806-Latest-3rd-Gen-A7-G-Sensor-GPS-Ambarella-Full-HD-Car-Dash-Camera-/111793890769?hash=item1a076f65d1

comes with GPS and a will show speed & location etc along with video. does about 3 1/2h recording on a 16gb card

also have a cheap £15 one. the picture quality isnt too good on the cheap ones though, with the better quality one you get a nice clear image and can clearly read number plates etc

 

[Sharpend]

Surely it's a false economy to buy the cheap one? For the sake of £80ish which you'll claim on your motoring expenses it's a no brainer?

 

[Blue Duck]

I'd agree but they are widely recommend and if your a skinflint with moths in you wallet then it's perfect!

[Blue Duck]

hmmmm.... I wonder how that happened?

A lot of strange things going on round here lately :C

 

[steptoe]

hmmmm I wonder who did that?

is the vet about?

or perhaps it was the boatman, in the conservatory, with an ipad,

Andy, did yours come with a sim card? All the cheap ones I've seen don't supply the card, so not that cheap.

Pro Dave, didn't you mention you missus is dealing dash-cams?

SD card?

you can buy an 8G SD card for under a tenner,

I happened to have a 8G one going spare [from the Pi], so I used that, just remember to get a decent speed one,

mines could really do with being faster tbh.

 

[Andy™]

cant remember, dont think it did

 

[ProDave]

I'll look up later what Mrs PD has to offer.

Jus paid £8.85 for 32gb SDHC card must remember to keep backing it up at that price!
