Why I got a dash cam

[drifter]

I had to watch it twice, I did see him move over a few inches but stopped just as he hit the line.

BTW Cgrey, I killed my battery last week, I put in a 32 gb card but didn't go back and change the settings so the park mode was to sensative and stayed on. Therefore, good job in buying that power-magic device that detects a low battery charge and shuts it down, I just ordered one.

You sure did help this company sell more product! :P

I'm looking for a dashcam myself but I'm looking for versatility. Somewhere along the lines of... I can see the rearview mirror, the side mirrors and blind spots. Which made me think.. I could probably line it into the roof of my car but that would force me to cut a hole.

That dashcam is great though! Does it come with uploading software?

Ouch. Do you know how long it took?

I gave up on the motion activation. No matter how low the setting, or where I park, it doesn't stop filming.

Well speaking form experience My Current GF bought her Infinity G37x Sedan about 5 months ago- Rear Left Quarter Panel Replace, Front Right Fender and Headlights Replaced. Thank God for insurance, cause she would have been broke by now. (i hope she never finds this blog).

It comes with everything you need to review/export the videos, then you can upload them to youtube or wherever you desire.

If you wanted a rear view as well you could probably mount one facing out your back window, that way you've almost got full coverage.

You guys need to drive in ohio if you wanna see dumb ass drivers! Ohio, Louisiana, some Florida, and NYC (manhattan) are the worst I have experienced.

I hit that at least 10 over the speed limit. And it was hard to tell from the video but the Mustang wanted to get onto the freeway, he almost got into my lane but did it after I had passed.

Wow fifty two whole percent that's almost like exactly half of the population! We shouldn't allow them to drive! Hell, take away their right to vote while you're at it!

Oh yeah there's also the fact that females make up over 52% of the NY population...

Meh, the other 48% are men then, and the margin of error is probably a couple of percentage points, so about even. I see about equal amount of douches of either sex around here.

: ) true, perhaps they could send me another one for free for my truck : )
It does come with the software, as well as the ability to update the software from their website.

My car was parked a few days, so that didn't help either. I may have it figured out though. I"ll test it when I'm off in a few days again, if it works, I"ll send you the settings I used that work.

People ALWAYS pull this at this intersection. This time I had my handy airhorn ready.

How much are dash cams, and how well are they in time of recording and such?

Everyone is going with the Blackvue DR400, expect to pay a little over $200 for the nice ones. After getting one in my car I don't think I'll own another car without a dash cam.
