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.

The oul Garmin 55 dash cam is looking pretty nifty.
Anyone purchase?

Nice tidy cam but wouldn't pay £150 (don't know € price) for a front facing only now. My next will have to be front and back, like a BlackVue DR430-2CH @ €190 for one.

On my one they just show up on a list and they are every second one.
So you'll have a front cam clip first and then a rear view one from the same timeframe and so on.

That's a good point actually.
The bells and whistles ( forward collision warning, lane departure, tells ya when the car in front has moved off) in the Garmin are what interested me.
But in hindsight, do I need all that stuff really n truely.
A front n rear camera would be the way to go. Just googled the one you mentioned, halfords have it.

You'll get the same camera delivered to ROI for €60.40 from amazon.co.uk including a 16GB memory card.

I would also welcome opinions on this camera.

markc1184

I'm hoping someone here might be able to help. I have a Nextbase 312GW. It needed its firmware updated so yesterday I put the file onto an sd card and updated the cam that way. Only I forgot to format the sd card afterwards and powered the cam up. The Nextbase screen appeared but then went blank and the blue light came on. I haven't been able to get the unit to switch back on since. Have I bricked the cam or is there a way to get it to power back on again??

Presume you've tried the reset button on the bottom ?

Hi all. I will be in the US in the coming weeks.
Are there any dashcam bargains to be had over there?
Any suggestions on anything that's beter value over there that I can bring back?
Say up to $100.

I run one of these. Pretty good, no complaints so far. Can sometimes be hard to see plates in certain lighting but good overall quality. Look up some youtube reviews for clips.

Newbie when it comes to dashcams. Bought my first one. Big fan of Anker products and this is what I got. https://www.anker.com/products/R21101F1?utm_campaign=DonanimHaber&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=DonanimHaber

So far so good. Very happy with it. Still have to play around with setting. At the moment my sd card is a class 6 one. Anker recommend a class 10 one. Would it make that much difference to picture quality?

Hal1

If the class of card is lower than needed for the bitrate it could corrupt files or only part record them. So you run the risk of not having something important recorded if and when needed.

I had this exact problem with a 0801 and it wasn't recording properly or just wouldn't record, even though the dashcam was on. As soon as I stuck in a samsung class 10 it was fine.
