Cheap dash cams

[kit]

Badgerfax are you saying the one you have is poor quality or is it worth a punt at 18 quid?

Read his post again - he does say

Yes he said it was ok in his first post then he said the quality was poor when uploaded but the youtube clip he posted looks fine, hence my confusion

More likely to be youtube - I have the same prob at times. He did say he recommended that cam though. Go visit 'techmoan' on youtube - best advice you'll get on dashcams.

If you want a dashcam just for 'incidents', look at black box cams on amazon etc.

I got one for my car for about 30quid and it turns on with the ignition and simply keeps recording. When the memory is full it then just loops back and writes over the earliest recordings.

You then just drive and forget about it and hope it's never needed.

Sorry for the confusion. Yes I would recommend this one. Pic quality is fine for the price. I just had problems with photobucket.

If you click on my links in my earlier post you can see for yourself.

Cheers I ordered one, the vid you had looked fine to me.

Well I waited almost 2 months for it and it did not arrive so I had to order a different one which came within a week, so question do you wire it in on a constant live or on a live when the ignition is on?

[CovKid]

live when ignition is on.

Thanks.

live when ignition is on.

how weird! I was thinking about this in the shower I've had a couple of cams to fit for months now!
I was thinking, with my limited auto electrical knowledge, how do I find a ignition on live ? I'm guessing I either need a bulb and wire or risk another meter (I fried one years ago!)

Must get them fitted when weather gets bit warmer
