Dashcam

[#1]

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.

[#3]

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.

@Mook That looks the bee's knee's to me. Back and front and night vision and wifi, etc.

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.

@Mook

Two hundred and sixty nine smackers?

Blimey, not at that price and not in my world which I would love to be self and state snooper free.

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.

[#11]

That was my thinking @bjallenby 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, ...

[#13]

I think he was using the tabloid headline style of posting

[#14]

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.

My dashcam is mounted on the mirror, it extends the mirror by a couple of inches, also has input for a rear view camera, I spent £30 on it from China. Add in a 12-5V usb adapter that I have wired to the ignition so it comes on when I start the car and off when I am parked.
