arjimlad Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 I run cameras front & rear on my bicycle but now need one for the car after a BMW shoved my son out of its way when coming round a bend on the wrong side of the road, and an Audi smashed our wing mirror in similar circumstances all in the last 7 days. Any recommendations ? There seem to be a lot out there with loads of good reviews for £25 or so... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotgcoalman Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Had a couple of "cheapies" of ebay that would corupt files and stop working randomly. the 1 I have now (and not had any issues with for well over a year) is from screwfix. Think it was £40 then so may be cheaper now. Just checked and it's actually gone up in price 🙄 Edited October 23, 2018 by gotgcoalman price check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Bear Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 look at 7dayshop - not bad quality for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decoy1979 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 I had a cheapo dashcam that used to do exactly as described above, which made it pretty useless. I spent a bit more and went for a nextbase unit which has worked faultlessly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 I got one from aldi and it seem to work ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arjimlad Posted October 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Ta everyone, Nextbase 212 on order. Audiots and BMW (anchors) beware ! We get issues with the way others drive around the little Hyundai i10, but not so much with the Honda CR-V... 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-d Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 nextbase are definately the way to go. some insurance companies even offer a small discount if you fit one👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 How do they work? How do they draw power and when do they record? Are the recordings saved and run on a loop etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjimlad Posted October 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 http://amzn.eu/d/cpz9ZtI has a video about them. They need plugging in to the lighter socket. Switch on & off with the ignition & run on a loop basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
