Dash Cams

[Icy Gull]

Do any of you use these?

There seem to be some very cheap ones and I am toying with the idea of fitting one. Too many aggressive loonies on the road and it seems like a half reasonable idea to have one of these things, as long as I am not going to be paying £200 plus. It seems that there are some that are around £40, do they take proper videos or is it a crap image?

Anyone?

With the country being simply overcome with cams I wonder how long it will be before newly born children will have a personal cam transplanted into the front and rear of their heads. All other cams would then be uneccessary.....

I read an article in Which that reviewed 8 dashcams, and concluded "don't buy" for 7 of them. Quite impressive in a way. Have thought about buying one but haven't taken the plunge.

Disappointing, I misread the title as Gash Cams.

I don't dare. The number of times I use the C word when cycling down Victoria street and Kingsway in London would render null and void any claim my dependents may make when they extract the thing from my frontal cortex for evidence purposes after I've done the ultimate one . . . .

A couple of guys at work have this one for £40 and the footage they have form it is pretty impressive, even in the dark.

I imagine a lot of people will be getting these for Christmas. I see more & more in my line of work. Which is great, professionally speaking.

You can use your phone instead

Idiots attract idiots on the road the majority of the time.

But not while you're driving eh?

The dash cam I looked at in Maplin last year look useful - front and rear £120 ish IIRC
I was doing a lot of driving in Brum at the time and reckoned it was only a matter of time before it was my word against a nutter's

Changed job instead ....

You can get something that sticks to the screen and holds your pohne. I only know this as my barber showed me his time lapse journey around paris

I fitted one of these in June this year, the quality is quite amazing for such a tiny camera. I set mine to HD video on a 5 minute continuous loop.

I've turned audio record off for the same reason...

NextBase 402G Pro is very good. Images good, small, display can be switched off to avoid distractions and not expensive.
