Hi All

Saw this a while back but never got one at the time.

What's the latest recommendation of a cheap and also a more expensive dashcam?

Cheers

Dave

depending on the features you want really.

i just bought a transcend drivepro 200

has gps and comes with memory card and mount.

hardwired into the fuse box with a piggy back fuse and its pretty much forgotten about as its starts and stops on ignition and does the job needed.

having had cheap chinese cameras before i wouldnt bother as they are unreliable and thats not exactly whats needed in a dash cam,you only get one chance to catch an incident.

I fitted a Mini 0805 recently. Hard wired into the fuse box. Power lead hidden under roof lining.

 

Fits very discretely behind the rear view mirror - I didn't want to have to remove it every time I leave the car.

 

Picture quality if very good.

 

It has GPS, shock detection, movement detection and came with a 32G card. 

I'm using a BlackVue DR650GW 2-camera setup, so the main camera is at the front with a 64GB SD card, GPS, audio, motion, detection, etc and then a rear facing camera which passes it video back to the front camera and it is all recorded as one.

The 200 doesn't have GPS, the 220 does.

+1 for the 0805, great camera for £65

Apologies it is the 220.

Top end I have a Roadhawk DC-2, footage is decent, has gps etc, also been very reliable as was the DC-1 I had before. You can also get a hard wire kit (probably could DIY one a lot cheaper than they charge) and also a cage that locks round it to prevent anyone other than you taking the card/power cable out if leaving in a garage to have work done for example.

It's also quite slim and apart from a little bit of the power cable between the headlining and the unit itself its completely out of my view when driving as I've got mine behind the rear view mirror.

 + 2, Both our cars have these fitted, on/off with the key.

 

As Anddenton says, great camera for the money

Thanks guys. Who makes the 0805. Where's best to get them?

Check out this site. The guy has tested most dash cams on the market:

Cheers for that. Good info. The 0806 or Xiaomi Yi look promising.
