February 18, 201510 yr You should try a days driving in London. Cyclist are insane. Jump red lights use the footpath when it suits them and I've seen and experienced them knocking wing mirrors only to ride off like nothing happened. Then you get the ones who think it's great to ride 3 wide or completely ignore their own special cycle lane. They also seem to like sneaking up on you at a set of lights stop in front and when the lights go green they take an age to get going again. Maybe I should just put this in the rant thread [emoji38] Yep get that up here too. The not using the designated lanes provided really winds me up. I had this woman pull out on me today...I was trundling up the road within the 30mph limit and going up hill...ABS kicked in before I swerved as she darted out right before me. She had her hands across her face as I missed the front of her car and went past Play movie The irony of the song playing :D
February 18, 201510 yr Lucky for you you only get a few bars of me singing too..could have been a lot worse/longer

At least in London you know they're going to try and kill themselves Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
February 19, 201510 yr I was just nipping to my sons house, he lives in the next town and just as I was going up the drive this !Removed! idiot ran in front of me. Take a look and see where he came from, he`s hidden behind a sign on the other side of the road......I have my eyes on the pedestrians left and right and my foot was just about to go down on the loud pedal to mount the driveway. http://youtu.be/7rRweNGi9eA

The irony is.....check out the house he came out of. I just noticed this later in the day. http://youtu.be/F3sIR0sv4YA
February 19, 201510 yr I've just ordered one of these..http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151583581117?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
February 19, 201510 yr Same as I have. The instructions are pigeon English but eventually with a few sweary words, in time you can set it up.
February 20, 201510 yr I use 5min segments as these are quite manageable. Other than that I loop mine in a 4hr cycle. It depends how big you memory card is really as to how you loop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
February 20, 201510 yr 5 minutes is what I have mine set for, 32 gig memory card but less than that is fine as it just re-writes itself when full. Any sharp braking will lock a file so it won`t get written over.
February 20, 201510 yr Pretty much same as my set up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk But yours is a much better camera, I just bought a cheapo! :)
February 20, 201510 yr I use a 3 minute loop...I wanted less of a chance of incriminating myself if I have to use one of the vids for insurance/police :D
February 20, 201510 yr Haha can you not edit the length ? I set mine for 30min then if I need to I'll just chop it down with the phone software saves having dozens of files on the card
February 20, 201510 yr :D My theory was they wouldn't want me editing the video file as that would be seen as tampering with evidence. I could view the vids on the card and delete the rest if I wanted to and just leave the one with the "event". Doesn't bother me having loads. If I want to have a watch of a trip its quicker to copy off a smaller file...rather than wait for a single 32gb file to copy. :)
February 20, 201510 yr two of these arrived today.. just over £16 each.. sister's car and the wife's will have these fitted. 32gb memory card Class10 arrived too.. £6 I ordered the same camera but with a rear one as well.. £44 :( Can you only go into menu when it's plugged into the car's 12v power.. and now when the USB is plugged in on the lap top?
February 20, 201510 yr But yours is a much better camera, I just bought a cheapo! :) To be honest the only thing that pushed me towards the camera I had was that you couldn't read number plates on most of the cheaper ones, and I tried a few "HD" cameras which had horrendous quality so have up in the end and spent £70. Can't fault the image clarity. And you can read number plates, handy for those that hit you and do one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
February 21, 201510 yr Transcend 200pro in the end but tried several before that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It has a built in power supply but I think only to keep the internal clock going. I set mine up plugged into the PC with my reading glasses on, mostly trial and error but go there in the end.
February 22, 201510 yr I picked this up yesterday too... pick up via Argos :) dual camera.. the rear cam has lines set up on the screen, good for rear parking :)

February 26, 201510 yr what is your picture like at night? on the little screen it looks very dark. do i need to turn IR on? or should it be Off? you don`t really need the screen on, it`s rather annoying at night. There`s a setting to have it switched off but I can`t find it so I just taped it over. The IR is on all the time. Night time it`s not brilliant but when you see it on the PC it`s not bad.
