| Post subject: | Dash Cam. |
Off to Halfords tomorrow to get a Dash Cam fitted "NextBase dual dash" for my own family car, I have/had been umming and arring for some months on getting one. However the crazy standard of driving out on the roads has made my mind up - any thoughts on the model that I am going for/are there better for value cams out there? Cost dual cam.....156.38 Hard wire kit........20.00 32 GBM SD Card.....15.00 Fitting................30.00 Total.................221.38 |

I have a blackvue dash cam it is very good quality and you can view it with wifi on you phone if you have one with screen built in it is so small it is a waste of time I fitted it myself just pluged it in to the 12volt socket it goes to sleep to save the battery but wakes up when there is something to record have left it on for a week when away and parked in car parks at night |

like anything its a personal choice I would not be without one In my cab I have a professional system fitted three years ago somebody pulled out of a side turning straight into me after the accident he said how sorry he was and it was his fault We he went to work next day he told a different story to his boss I sent the insurance co a copy of the video and that was the end of his story |
