Inital plan was to use old phone with dashcam 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 ?

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 dashcam test

yeah the sites not letting me post the link sorry.

No worries mate,this new tappatalk update is pants !

£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.

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

Heres his link for the £12 camera... For the money Looks ok to me.  

Yeah there nowt wrong with it, just not super high quality.

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

I use a Roadhawk HD Dashcam.

 

 

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.

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

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

94.99 in currys ! Records in hd too

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.

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

£12 is cheap; £99 is not [emoji54]

Cheap if you end up buying two or three of the twelve quid ones.

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

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.

£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

They do not do 1080p. Only like 640. Which is ****

They?

Cheap in general. If you pay anything under £40 new dont expect anything good. I have learned the lesson I paid £21

Steve I'd look at your pms mate apologises for highjacking the thread.
