Dash Camera

[Mc4by]

Hi all,

With so many dashcams out there I was hoping for some member input into which ones are worth considering.

TIA

Steer well clear of these Mc4by mate!

Got sucked into an infomercial late one night :-)
Bought it to capture some mountain tracks to share here and the bloody thing jams/freezes up somehow always at the best bits, grrrrrr :-(
Only way to reboot it is to unplug and then wait around an hour for the internal battery to die, piece of crap!

So installed my 70 buck camera this morning after the kids opened their presents, didn't read any instructions, set the date and time and that's about it, I was in a rush...... Yeh a 500 buck camera may capture a bit better but as I said depends what you want.

I captured some farktard driving 50, 60 ,70, 80kph in an 80 zone, all over the place , on the brakes hard in a slight corner for no reason, I swear if he wasn't pissed as a fart he really needs 2 hand his license in. I don't know if he was looking at his phone beside him or up his passengers skirt if she had one on as he certainly was not paying attention 2 the road in front and was constantly turning his head towards her

I cracked it and over took when I could safely before I had 2 witness him crashing into a telegraph pole, not for the fact I gave a shit that he did, but I know my partner would not let me just pull over, call him a farktard and drive off again which I would of done.

I'll try and upload a vid 2morrow.

Merry Xmas @Mc4by

What a great way to test out your new toy. I look forward to seeing if you got some good footage.

I have been looking at the Uniden iGO 80 and it is now down $50 for boxing day.

The vids are not as clear as the originals, Both Vids where about 500MB so I converted them 2 around 80MB before uploading them and not sure what the distorted noise is in the mic, could of been the power lead vibrating against the camera body. Have not set up the rear camera yet so not sure what the quality of that one is like yet.

When I get a chance to play with it some more I'll give you more feedback.


Below is the vid of some fartard doing 50, 60, and if lucky 80 for a few mins before going back 2 50 and 60kph in an 80 zone

Not sure if his missus had no undies on or his phone was in the centre console, because he clearly was looking 2 the left more than the road in front. I was hoping 2 see him hit a telegraph pole so I could upload it 2 Dashcams Aust *L*



This one is about the last 5mins of our journey back home



P.S: Apologies for my partners poor taste in music!

Thanks for taking the time to upload the videos. The quality is good enough for insurance purposes.

Hi Mc4by , the one I use in my patrol is the brand Lukas 7700 and it has never let me down, not cheap, but is HD 1080p . I think it gives me about 10 hours of driving time, the link below is a 3 day long weekend at 16 times the speed, sorry shorten it for YouTube cheers alex

You can read the plates easy enough. I will google 'Lukas'

[Brissieboy]

They are all wide angle with some a bit wider than others (120deg+) so you lose ability to read number plates very quickly. You need to go for as high resolution as possible, which does limit the total length of records so a larger memory card might be worthwhile if you do want hours of records for some reason.
I think GPS is a must have for obvious reasons.
And a way of saving the record if/when an event occurs rather than using G sensors - usually available via one of the buttons. I do not use the G sensor as it tends to go off too easily, especially in the rough stuff, and just ends up clogging up memory.
Suction cup mounts are a PITA (wobbly and they fall off) and some do come with an adhesive mount. I have replaced the cup on mine with a pot magnet so it never falls off and no more shake in the image. Bit of frigging around, but works really well.
