Hi,

I've searched and read through the topics already on here, but thought I'd ask for some recent recommendations instead of bumping up an old thread. I want 2 so I can have one on the rear too. There is one that looks good on ebay for £25 which records 1080p. What do we think? I don't really want to pay out twice for a GoPro! Lol. Only want to spent £50 each max! Also seen a few with flip screens, but read they're a bit on the big side, so not really ideal in a mini, although it'll be used in other cars too anyway.

So, anyone bought a dash cam recently? Any thoughts?

Cheers

£22! Gotta be worth that surely?

My friend bought a cheap camera and quickly learnt that buying cheap isn't a good plan. They may claim 1080p but that's not always the case.

Find reviews before buying

Few videos of that one I linked above on YouTube and doesn't seem that bad

Search for möbius ones, they are US based and cost about £50 all in but are very good.

Cool, cheers Tam. Will have a look now.

Do you have one?

Edit: that's more like what I'm after. Nice and little. Will check out reviews

I have had a couple and got them following reviews on another forum. They are superb for the money and picture quality is very good. I have only changed as I wanted something that would take more punishment so have changed to a Go Pro. There isn't much difference in the picture quality and as a dash cam the möbius is better I think.

Some good reviews and footage from them here:

works well until you get condensation on the screen , then it dies until it warms up

Had this lady earlier, I was in the mini and the silly cow was creeping out of her drive whilst looking back at someone at the front door! she was still creeping out into the road whilst a car infront and me behind him were going past! So the dude in car infront blasted his horn, swerved whilst braking. Luckily I saw the beeeep coming out her drive already so started to slow down. Then other day in mini had a prat on the M6 sitting on my arse. Silly ******* on our roads I tell ya

Cheers sledge, going for the möbius ones

[The Matt]

A few of my mates have started using them for just everyday driving. Just in case something happens and they need evidence.

I had a few cheap ones and have bought a Blackvue 550. It has a dual camera setup, front and back. Excellent bit of kit. Has a wifi capacity so I can sit in the car and view videos off an app on my phone. Playback on computer is simple and has GPS so position and speed and ability to view footage of front and rear camera at the same time. I got it from Amazon as it was cheaper.
