Buying a dash cam
 

and clueless as usual. I thought we might have covered this already but I didn't manage to find it via the search. So...

With all the, erm, tomfoolery that seems to pass for driving these days, I thought a camera for my wife's car might be a good idea. I haven't looked at them as there are grillions and really it's an OMO post, so any words of advice or recommendations would be gratefully received.

Timwilky posted up this one. Search his posts, quality was spot on

I just bought one similar in the Amazon Black Friday deal. Mine is an Amacam version.

Got it for £27.99. Not tested it yet. Got it as people are always cutting up my missus and doing stupid things.

Bought one of above type branded under the E-prance Brand. Just had to get a cigarete lighter socket (Maplin) and fused Tpiece for connecting the supplied cigarrette lighter plug power lead to a switched 12V from the fuse box. Mine overlays GPS coordinated time and date. Large Class 10 micro SD card also needed.
Worked OK for a year now. Well worth while for the peice of mind.

Sorry I meant to come back and say thanks for the links. I don't know how many insurance companies give discounts for them? e.g.

Well it seems mine isn't HD. Quality is ok but nothing to shout about.

I'm getting this.

It's available for about £80. 1080p HD, excellent night quality, quite small, wifi connected for viewing.

Anyone bothered with getting a rearward facing camera too?

I have the mini 0801 in mine and have been thinking of getting the 0806. More than happy with how mine has been for the last 3 years or so. Only does 1080 30fps and would like 60fps and a bit better night time quality.
