Dash cams, what to get and where to get it (Q&A only)

Max Power

Can anyone recommend me one?

Are they easy to install?

Mod note - this technical thread is for three things only:
acquirement, installation and operation of dash cams.
Do not post your dash videos or argue over small stuff.

Only post if you are committed to buying and have questions, general chat will be removed.

Nice one Mick! I have the same and with the polarising filter also. I didn't bother with the cable tidy as I don't have much space.

How are you powering it?

Well my Mini 0806 is still vibrating at 1100 RPM but I realised it's not vibrating in the actual mount. The vibration is happening at the plastic band on the actual dashcam itself where it allows the camera to rotate. I will put a few spots of hot glue and hopefully it will stop it

maryown, please send me a PM with a link to where this car is advertised and I'll update your post.

Oops, I didn't realise maryown has less than 100 posts. But being in a good mood and because the error is mine, I will allow it this once.

Welded the whole dashcam together yesterday with hot glue so it's no longer removable from the mount. No more vibrations and the video footage isn't as shaky

I was looking at that yesterday and it looks like a great piece of kit. Where are you thinking of purchasing from?

Are the mini 0806 a good buy?

Going to bite the bullet and get one as I am prone to a little problem of people running into me.

shietpilot

I have a Mini 0806 but I would go for a Mini 0805. They are more reliable for sure. The 0806 has twin SD card slots and pretty much once a month it stops recording and begins beeping due to SD card errors. I suspect the oldest video it wants to delete is a small file sometimes and there's not enough space for a new clip which causes the problems.

Very very good dashcam when it works (0806) but the 0805 is cheaper and more reliable.

Techmoan has the link in the review of where he bought it.It comes from China directly.The only minor thing is i wish it had a lens filter built in but i will probably add one myself.

Yes, I saw that but how much will our friendly customs agents add?

I've had the nextbase 212 for about a month now. Fit and forget. No errors or anything like that. Footage is decent once I worked out that the problems were user error and not the fault of the dashcam (RTFM!)

Which firmware version are you using out of interest? Some of them are more stable than others. I'm using the latest from May 2016.
