Dash Cameras

We've been running one ofThese continuously for the last 4 1/2 months while on our current trip in North America, it has performed faultlessly in that period. A "normal" days drive takes up about 8-10 GB on the SD card. I've got a 32GB card which will usually record 2-3 days before overwriting the existing video. Turns on and off automatically whenever the engine is started, has anti shake and lots of other features.

I have one of These under the Xmas tree waiting for me to open tomorrow.

Watch the video and you can see what they do.

I also own an older model of the DOD 'Black Box' dash cams (made in Taiwan), the GS600. Never missed a beat, records continuously. I only use it for crash or other incident evidence. The quality of the suction mounts is ok, not as good as a ram mount but not too bad. I dont reckon it would stay on the windscreen in heavy corrigations though.

I've noticed DOD's new versions are getting pretty fancy, but you can still pick up some of the models (without GPS) for under $100 shipped off ebay. I've used XORIES in the past, without any problem (no affiliation etc). I dont like how so many models have become so large with the incorporation of screens etc, my GS600 is nice an small on the dash.

I'm thinking about getting another as a rear cam.

Willl.

Bought the Otek DVR 5C5 for $69 from Crazy Sales for hubby and son. Great units working extremely well even in dirt road condtions.

Merry Christmas all

G'day Rob,

I purchased an Itronics ITB100HD on ebay for $212 with a 32GB SD Card including shipping to Aus.

Had it fitted to the vehicle for 6 months now and had no problems what-so-ever, and that includes 4wding with it.
Has built in GPS for tracking, a built in G-sensor for sudden impact recording, motion detection recording, built in microphone (selectable to on or off) as well as different recording modes etc (check link above).

Obviously not as versatile as a GoPro, but as a set & forget type of thing for piece of mind you can't go wrong. Sound quality is good apart from if you have the windows wound right down whilst driving (personally I turn the mic off , but is easy to turn on if need be). Picture quality is excellent even at night.

PS: If you did buy one of these from overseas (cheaper) just be aware that you will have to chase down an English version of the PC software as the one thast it comes with will be Chinese.

Happy Christmas Rob,

We got a cheap incar camera that was on sale at Aldi for $90 and lets say its paid for itself over and over. It saves footage to and SD card in HD, and is motion activated with a 170 degree lens.
It has recorded a Cape York and a Birdsville trip this year and survived the corrigations. I even suctioned it on the outside of the car to get different footage at times.
