So a copy and paste to here, if anyone can offer advice it would be much appreciated "I have had the 0803 cam since they came on the market and it really gave me little or no issues ( Just initial setup and best firmware ) Since then it worked superb. Recently ( over the past few months ) I would notice it would be after switching off without me noticing. I would press the power button and all seemed to be good again. But over the past few weeks I am paying careful attention to it and notice it only stays powered on for a few minuted and then power itself down, Press power button and the same thing happens/ Should I assume it is time to replace it? I have checked power supply etc and all is as it should be. Thanks for any advice."

As Halfords had a trade-in offer we just replaced both of them with Nextbase 312s. Pity because I prefer the discrete size of the minis.

Also I'm not sure about suction cup mounts. I had one before for a satnav and it often just fell off the window. I'd also probably need something to hold the wire against the window frame etc.

The picture quality on my 402G is decent but it has frequent 'no SD card' errors that needs a restart and sometimes doesn't save the last clip which could be a good 5 minutes. I've heard good things about BlackVue alright.
