Greetings all, having spent my usual 3 weeks studying the pro's and con's of buying a recording car camera.

I finally decided on a £47 one from China. As its a mine field of different info.

Their are lots to choose from and I went for a full HD one. It duly arrived and I went out to try it out.

The results were very impressive, with perfect clarity and voice recording.

With the bogus claims being tried on, plus the third party lies after the accident.

I do feel that it has been a worthwile piece of kit. So much so I have bought another for the motorhome.

At that price it does'nt break the bank, and the results were better than expected.

The model for those who may be interested is P1W, full HD recorder off e-bay.

You will need to buy a micro SD card as well. I have a class 10, 32 gig.

and don't forget to leave it unlocked in the SD adaptor, or else it will write protect it automatically.

Hope this helps anyone who fancies one, Robmac was pleased with his.

Hi There
did you plan to mount the camers somewhere and to reset it each trip to record an accident as it were in the event that an accident happened or record the accident and discussion of the details after the event?

Just interested how this would differ from a mobele phone with camera or digital camera with video,etc

They are designed to be positioned on a mount (similar to a GPS mount) and stuck in the windscreen to record anything in front of the vehicle (you can get duo versions to record behind as well). They record for about 6 hours with the SD card and then loop around and overwrite what has been recorded and start again. In the event of an accident you would then have an exact record of what happened.

Indeed - a very useful thing to have if your in the driving profession

As a HGV driver I got the roadhawk just to cover my rear end if anything was the happen as its there in video format. Can save your job/licence if the 3rd party chooses to lie... or 4 people claiming whiplash when there is only 1 person etc etc...
 
well just glad rob didnt post the video of me lol and by now it should have recorded over so feel safe posting this
 
We have one of these in every vehicle £35.99 and comes with a 32g sd card must admit that I was supprised by the quality of the recording. Hopeing to save on the insurance when its due to renew as well. Russia, Japan and I believe China, they all seem to have them in their vehicles.

Here's the link to the ones I've got.

:have fun: stay safe :wave:

Why oh why would we want that? Big brother of course, would be delighted. The UK is already the capital of surveillance cameras, many of them illegal too.

What is wrong with camera's. If you have nothing to hide then they shouldn't harm you. They are a good deterrant to crime. What exactly is your objection?

The only problem I see with camera's is when used like recently when Princess Kate was sunbathing. Had it been made compulsory for cars to carry cameras, many crimes would have been solved fairly quickly including murders. The police often have to rely on CCTV to ascertain what vehicles were in a particular area at a certain time, if people came forward with there own video evidence there would be much more evidence.

We have nothing to hide when we defecate but I still prefer a bit of privacy. Your retort was a tad predictable, we will have to agree to disagree on this one.

Agreed (or disagreed).

But you really shouldn't be defecating on the public highway!;)
 
I would'nt get too carried away they would also show if you were in the wrong as well.
 
They seem a good idea, especially at that price. Might save a costly insurance claim.

Ahh, GM and Ford, I can see them rubbing their corporate hands in anticipation. £40 technlogy neatly fitted into their dashboards, and the cost to renew one when it fails?? £40 ?? Nah, don't think so..
