Having just seen this attempted insurance scam caught on a dashcam https://www.facebook.com/Gimpolice/video... I'm thinking about a dashcam.
Has anyone got any recommendations?

They soon changed their tune when they were told about the camera, scummy little gits.
I've have one of these installed in my car.

I probably wouldn't have told them about the dash cam but just given the footage it to the police along with their registration number in case they tried to steal it from the car.

Forgot to say that we have the Nextbase 402G which gives an excellent picture.

How about a used Google Streetview van?

I have a Nextbase 212 great all round value camera
Good thing about Nextbase, most their cameras have " the innovative Click&Go Magnetic Powered Mount" makes getting on/off the sucker very easy.

Madness.

@Minivanman Might be a bit steep, but the one time you need it, it'll save you a fortune in solicitors fees and all the hassles of going to court. Provided your not at fault. In which case just act like you don't have one.

Not to mention the Automobile Association, that staunch defender of motorists in the UK, is trying to ban the use of dashcams.

That was my thinking @Anonymous when I bought it. No, it's not the cheapest on the market, but it does so much more than just record. As for the AA I do think they have a point, I would never publish an incident captured on camera, but I'd send it to the police quicker than you could break wind.

I don't see any references to having these devices banned in the article you cite!
The motoring organisation said it was not in favour of banning dashcam use, ...

Finally, someone recognises my true worth For the record I use a dashcam, when the hot sun doesn't soften the adhesive pad on the windscreen causing the camera to drop off.
