The point of dashcams is lost on me entirely.

The point of dashcams is lost on me entirely.

I was driving home through the very narrow lanes near our house in the summer and pulled up, very slowly, behind a cyclist who was riding in the middle of the road.

He didn’t see us (my wife was also in the car) so I gave the horn the gentlest of touches, worried he might veer to the right as we passed.

And with that all hell let loose. He literally started foaming at the mouth, slammed on his breaks and forced us to stop.

F’ing this, f’ing that. Banging his hands on the bonnet and generally acting like he was about to explode and, or have a heart attack.

My wife and I just sat there gobsmacked given we thought we’d done everything right. But clearly not.

It almost got nasty from there on as I tried persuading the prat that we sounded the horn for his protection. He was having none of it.

Anyway. It calmed down when I got out of the car and he jumped back on his bike complete with v signs given in a way I’d not seen since infants school.

Now I wonder how that whole event would have been perceived by the authorities had I either accidentally knocked him over, or restrained him when he started throwing foul mouth expletives at my wife through the window. Barely 2 feet from her face.

So. From that moment on I decided, given the non existent police force in our part of the world, that I needed a dash cam or two.

The trouble is which one? I’ve no intention of having power cables dangling over the dash and back window and it makes me wonder why, Audi in my case, don’t put power outlets on the rear view mirror. It would make it so much simpler to install a permanent device - but that, would be too easy.

There should be an Android app too

Why? So we can’t hear your ‘apples n pears’ Danny Dyre accent?

It feels odd knowing every conversation you have is being recorded

I have no power cables dangling anywhere. Simply loosen the headlining and route the cable up into the headlining and then down through the A pillar into the glovebox where I have 2 USB ports

Not sure how it "sorts them" as video is as open to interpretation as verbal statements.
Take the dash cam footage linked here, it's heading is "car forces way into lane", what I see is a driver choosing not to give way to someone indicating his wish to change lanes, why that extra 10ft was important to the driver only he could say.

I’m not even going to bother explaining

To be honest that's what I see.

We have dashcams in both cars, one with a tiny screen (but HD) which tucks up behind the rear view mirror and looks like OE as there are no visible wires whatsoever, but the one in Mrs B's Skoda looks like the one referred to by the OP.

Unfortunately it's too big to sit behind the mirror, so it has to go alongside it, on the passenger side, so it can't be seen by, and therefore distract, the driver.

However, this means the passenger can't avoid looking at it, so I've taped over the screen, as it doesn't need to be seen at all in normal use, and the card can be taken out to view when needed.

TBH, I can't understand why they make them with large screens, but see my sig....

This one allows the display to be set to turned off after 1 min etc.

Yes there is an Android app

YI Dash Cam - Android Apps on Google Play

 

[brucemillar]

I use NextBase Duo(s). You can google them.

I tried a cheaper cam that did the same job. That was until the summer. It melted in the heat (I did not make that up). Came back to my car to find, what looked like a melted welly boot hanging down from the windscreen.

Be careful with these cheap dashcams, I once had one and it only recorded when it wanted to, I used to check the sd card and big chunks of my driving hadn't been recorded.

For the last couple of years I've been using a mini 0806 and this one is around 99% accurate and cost less than £100.

I've just ordered one, I'll report back when I get it....
