stants Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Inital plan was to use old phone with dash cam software on but after resetting it I found out you can only have one Google account linked to one phone [emoji35] so can't install the software again. so are the cheap ones any good and what ones are you using ?
Dryosh Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I use a cheap cam from Amazon, they cost £10/15 delivered. here's a video I shot. if the link doesn't show search youtube for impreza dash cam test
Dryosh Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 yeah the sites not letting me post the link sorry.
stants Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 No worries mate,this new tappatalk update is pants !
Scooby Pete Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Super-Legend-HD-Vehicle-Recorder/dp/B005Q6CJI4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417523983&sr=8-1&keywords=dash+cam £10 for the one above which I have been using or my Go Pro. big diff in quality but also massive diff in Price. For £10 its worth the punt tbh.
stants Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 Bit ot again but Which go pro you got mate ? Seen the old one in argos for a ton special offer, been looking at getting one for general outdoor activities, not sure if it's any good though
bowthruster Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Heres his link for the £12 camera... For the money Looks ok to me. 2
Scooby Pete Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Yeah there nowt wrong with it, just not super high quality.
david1972 Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I still want a cam and often argue with myself between the transcend dog has and a cheap £10 jobby like this. Can't decide if it really matters that much Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
Silver Forester 2.5 XT Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I use a Roadhawk HD dash cam. They are quite expensive compared to the ones for £12 but the image quality is good and it records the time, your speed and your location. I had one of those cheap dashcams. It worked well but only for a month or so then packed in ( maybe I was unlucky ). Sometimes also use a GoPro Hero 2. Try the £12 one then if you don't like the results or it breaks then get a more expensive one.
stants Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 I've been using the auto gaurd app but it's not the best at focusing at night, do the dedicated cams suffer the same ? Think i've managed to re install the app on old phone some how but now wants a sim in to verify the purchased app, gonna get a cheap pay as you go sim throw it in before i gk down the byuing another cam route
Sparky Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 For a cheap camera you can't beat the new gopro hero £99 super video quality I bought 1 as a second camera to a gopro hero 3 white and it better video quality then that both are not great at night there ok in low light sound really good on both to
Rick 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Heres his link for the £12 camera... For the money Looks ok to me. Nice bit of kit for £12 does it record
Scooby Pete Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Nice bit of kit for £12 does it record Yep just use a standard SD card to save to. Can be set to record all the time or has a motion activated record aswell. Powered by a BL-5C phone Battery, old Nokia type I think. Can be recharged via the cigarette lighter aswell.
JusNoGood Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 I use a möbius, it's typically used for model plane, gyro copter etc flying. So it's quite small, good quality, can take a bump and is £60. I've got it setup so I turn ignition on and it turns on and records. You can take stills etc too with it

stants Posted December 3, 2014 Author Posted December 3, 2014 Cheap if you end up buying two or three of the twelve quid ones.
JusNoGood Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 No, cheap if you buy 9 of them! :) Ps I wouldn't buy one...I'd go for my mildly cheap mildy expensive möbius :D
stants Posted December 3, 2014 Author Posted December 3, 2014 Buy cheap but at least twice, a ton for an all round camera seems quite a good idea if you take into consideration what your getting.
Sparky Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 £99 is cheap for a good quality camrea got a friend with a gopro black quality is very very close I just would not bother with a cheap 12 pound camrea but thats just me i tried a cheap one before can't remember what it was call i have also got a ion pro camrea which is Ok but not as good as gopro and the ion was £100 use them for all sorts I can get close to the limits of the gopro frame rate at times in 1080p would dread to think what the frame rate on a 12 pound camrea would be like
Steveuk260.Esq Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 They do not do 1080p. Only like 640. Which is ****
JusNoGood Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 They do not do 1080p. Only like 640. Which is **** They?
Steveuk260.Esq Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Cheap in general. If you pay anything under £40 new dont expect anything good. I have learned the lesson I paid £21
Gambit Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Steve I'd look at your pms mate apologises for highjacking the thread.
