Anyone listening to a dance version of Celine Dion deserves bad things.

I got this one a couple weeks back, Took about 3 weeks to deliver. Got a card off memoryC €30 all in. Cant fault it so far, handy piece of kit.
Nissandoc has the same one for longer than me so he could give a better review

I Can post examples of its output if needs be.

With the camera most people are buying off eBay, does anyone have any decent methods of mounting it on your dash instead of having it hanging off the window?

I'm trying to do that but the mount that comes with it means the camera can only be upside down if mounted to the dash, the arm doesn't have the movement required for it to be any other way.

Any solutions anyone?

I have it mounted right up beside the rear view mirror so it doesn't obstruct any view and is less visible from outside the car.

It stands out with the camera flash but you wouldn't notice it standing normally outside the car.

Thats not bad actually, problem for me is my Toll tag is already there for that very reason also.

I'll see what I can do with it there I guess, although I'm somewhat trying to keep it off the windscreen entirely, just for the ease of removing/powering it, plus there's a really handy section just to the right of my Oil Pressure/Turbo/Oil Temp gauge pod, that would be nicely used by a stand/clamp if I could find one that meant the camera was the right way up.

This may sound like a stupid question but is there any legal issues about using these dash cams?IMO I think they are a great idea,but I could see a garda confusing them with a radar scanner.

And if they did, and pulled you over, you show them its a camera and be on your way.

Filming in a public place is not illegal so there are no issues with them legally.

They are still a fairly new concept outside law enforcement so I don't know what insurance companies or courts views on them are yet.

Tell them its for when you go dogging

What if you recorded some of the less than safe driving of some(not all)of our gardai and used it to complain to the ombudsman?
