Mike737 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Roadhawk. Top end of your budget, but has GPS built in, and projects your position onto Google Maps. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I got one off Ebay for less than £14. Works fine - decent quality recording. On top of that, I had to buy a memory card. About £20 all in. Just type in dash camera and set the limit at £20. Shedload of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davyo Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Whats the little tubular one that sticks to the screen near the mirror,I think it has a small lcd screen & can start recording if someone bumps your car when its parked up. Just found it ebay item UK 171521627869. Edited November 15, 2014 by Davyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drut Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Bought one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IPDDAME?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00& impressed with recording quality for the money,far better than the £20 ebay one it replaced.Only downside cannot turn off display which niggles me at night.

flyingphil Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Do a search for Möbius Action Camera. I got mine from a website called Joovuu store. Fantastic HD camera that is about the size of a TicTac box, plus you can mount it on your gun/head to record your days out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAoS Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Go on YouTube and have a look at the "TechMoan" channel. He does *very* good reviews of gear including dashcams. Regards, Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Hi For what its worth earlier this year Auto Express reviewed and recommended a Transcend ?? dashcam around the £79 mark - came out better value than more expensive ones.

aris Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Check this guys youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5I2hjZYiW9gZPVkvzM8_Cw He has guides to what to buy - he likes the "mini 0803" one best I believe (unless he has changed his mind recently).

Breastman Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Personally i went for one that just looks like a rear view mirror as i was worried about people breaking into my car to nick the camera itself!

Alycidon Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 There is one system that deploys 3 cameras, one out front, one to the rear and one on the driver so that it can be proved what he/she was or was not doing before any accident. Dont know the make but the terrible standard of driving I have witnessed recently is making me think about using them. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
