Re: Dash Cams. Do you have them? We have them in the 365Van and 365C

This is the one we have fitted to our smart and van

Not saying its great or anything but we paid £30 each for the dash cams. Then £10 each for the SD cards. And also £7 for an extra cigarette lighter adapter to fit them. Otherwise they hog the gig lighters and I cant plug in the SatNav.

So far they seem to do OK.

Same as mine but on searching they have known faults as I am getting.

Ahah! Maybe I should have done a bit more research. My problem is that at £30 it didnt seem too much money to pay out so I just sort of bought the first I saw.

Rookie Error!

Saying that though they have both been OK units.

Nowt wrong with picture quality, just an issue recording longer than 12 minutes no matter what resolution or other settings.

A new SD card seems to have solved my issues but it is a class 10 ?

This is what I have.... A very (very) small Sandisk Micro SD card.
Plus an adapter (red thing)

The red thing slips into a USB adaptor for my PC because my SD card reader is broken

HAHA

Heard of a new scam when your indicating to turn out of a junction and get flashed to be let out, as you pull out they keep going and crash into the side of your motor.

That's an old one that mate. Heard about a few people over the years that have said they swore they saw them flash to let them out. Usually looking to the left then and have already been flashed from the right so they're not even looking in the direction of the scammer when they hit them. Harsh smash that is, cars aren't so good at protecting passengers when being T-boned as they are head on.

But all of these scams can be avoided by driving sensibly and deffensively.... Keep your distance and don't drive so fast....

Whoooo have fun with it Dan!!!

I also bought this Cigarette lighter adaptor (ebay) so that I didnt have to cut the cables off the DashCam Cigar Lighter Socket.

It was very easy to wire in this unit to my exisitng Cigar Lighter.

Note: Call me an IDIOT if you must.... But when I first installed the dashcam I thought it would be really easy to wire it into the internal light of my van. But of course the power goes off when you shut the door and so does the dash cam!! OK OK so rookie mistake.

You all knew to wire it into your existing cigar lighter circuit didnt you...

This is the one I bought for less than a £10-er
