Just a basic model or it would be worth more than the car.

The point of a dashcam is it's about preserving your liberty - how much is that worth to you?

Whilst we do not, yet, have in this country a presumption of the motorist being at fault should you injure a cyclist or a pedestrian, we are not far off that.

That said, a basic petrol station model will do that.  Always assuming of course, that it's always running, you've spent the £10 on a quality memory card for it, and it hasn't fallen off the windscreen and you've chucked in the glovebox in disgust.

If you wish to protect yourself from 'cash for crash' scams, you'll need a forward and rear facing system, about £80 or so should get you a good one.  Also, budget a morning of fiddling to run the cable neatly to the rear camera.

I have a Nextbase - very pleased with it. Excellent quality HD with GPS so you get speed tracking and location on it. If you get anything too low spec with poor image quality it's not really much use when you need it.

swmbo just bought a new SatNav for herself - it's a Garmin - and it has a built in dash cam feature with quite good resolution.
It also has lane change warning buzzers, collision warning buzzers, traffic moving away buzzers. etc...!

Seems a lot easier to use and it WORKS unlike the cheap RAC dashcam she had previously
