Stephen-H Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Morning everyone could anyone recommend a good reasonably price dash cam? Decided it's about time I get one as there seem to be more and more bad drivers these days & it's always worse near Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeon Shredder. Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 A Dash Cam won't stop bad drivers, plod on the roads might though. l drive 20 miles to one of my permissions on a regular basis and never see a police vehicle on the roads, and we wonder why there's urban crime.

Diss4111 Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 I got mine off ebay, it was about £25 and works well at night too. I saved £60 off my insurance premium by having it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY do you think there is almost anarchy on our roads ? Speed limits, well forget them, Driving down pavements to avoid a vehicle turning right, Give way, well, only if you have nothing better to do ! Red lights, well they are only a guide anyway, EVERY queue, drivers with heads bowed, presumably in prayer ? (well, they can not ALL be checking their testicles ?). I have just finished a 200 mile drive home, how many Police vehicles ? Well, just one, and that was PARKED on a dual carriageway bridge, with a radar gun ? Insurance Companies aside, WHAT the camera can help you with is, the 'crash for cash' scams. A relation, in her 70's has just been scammed by someone reversing into the front of her car and driving off. She did not get the reg. no. and 2 weeks later the Insurance letter arrived. He had obviously taken her reg. no. and claimed it was her who drove off, he produced an independent witness, who just happened to be standing at the roadside AND although he was alone in the car, injuries occurred to him and his PASSENGER. Her Insurance has settled the claim ! Perhaps a camera may have produced a different outcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decoy1979 Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Nextbase for me, can buy cheaper but if it doesn't record or freezes/pixlates it's a waste of time/money anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the 312GW as it was on offer at the time when I bought, I think it was about £85. To be honest you could probably buy one of the cheaper models and still be happy but I don't have any experience with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozer Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Just to add mine. Car I have a NextBase Duo Van I have a NextBase 512GW Both models show your true speed when the screen times out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondoggy Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 10 hours ago, steve_b_wales said: 512 is very good.👍 Thank you for that. It is so far, a toss up between the 312 and the 512. The 312 currently has a deal supplied with anti glare lens, 16gb micro sd card and case for £99. If I go for the 512, I would probably get a 32gb micro sd card. I assume the higher resolution would benefit from more storage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozer Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I run 128gb Cards in both as I do quite long trips and don't want any footage over written as I back up my Van's Cam every day and tbh there so cheap. https://www.mymemory.co.uk/integral-128gb-ultima-pro-micro-sd-card-sdxc-uhs-i-u1-adapter-90mb-s.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
