I would advise against that type of camera anyway, it will obstruct a lot of your windscreen. I paid a bit more and got one which records from front and rear cameras, which includes the option to mount flush against the screen allowing it to be hidden behind the mirror out of sight. Often an incident on the road, begins from behind you. |

Often an incident on the road, begins from behind you. Like Harry, I'd guess 3 to 6 hours, depending on the setting. It's not as large as many, but it's bigger than either of the ones I have mounted behind the mirror in the cars. The IR night vision will be useless because of reflections, and the real question is how easy is it to get the card or whole camera out to see the footage in a computer. -- Bill |

I see from the spec that it has Motion Detection and G - Sensor. At £8 it's probably worth having a go. If it's crap, could it be set up as a stand alone security camera? My garage is at far end of back garden and it would be handy to monitor the back access lane. I don't have mains in the garage but I have got a couple of 12v 85 Ah batteries. How does the Motion Detector work? Can the camera be switched off? TIA. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |

Often an incident on the road, begins from behind you. Our Transcend dashcam came with a 16 GB card. At full HD 1920x1080x30 fps, it would record about 2 hours before looping - enough to record all of my wife's journey to work and half her journey back home. We've recently upgraded to a 64 GB card. It's frustrating that most mini video cameras (dashcams, GoPro and similar) can't do both 30 fps and 25 fps for compatibility with both US/Japan and also Europe/Australia. While computers (eg packages such as VLC) and DVD players/TVs can play both, you have a devil of a job if you want to combine UK-standard camcorder footage and US-format dashcam footage in a project in Adobe Premiere etc :-( The world does not end at the US and Japanese shores. |

The problem is that many locations near the mirror which are unobtrusive from the driver's viewpoint are also in an area of the screen that is not cleared by the wipers. Check also that you don't obscure any cameras/sensors that are built into the mirror: on our Honda CRV, the first place where we put the camera obscured the camera that the car uses to operate the auto-dipping of full beam headlights when it sees oncoming cars - took a while to work out why that had stopped working! We now have it in a corresponding position but slightly on the *passenger's* side of the mirror. |

I see that there is a specific reference: "Particular danger would be posed by those who may attempt suicide at the wheel." |

I see that there is a specific reference: "Particular danger would be posed by those who may attempt suicide at the wheel." I hadn't spotted that but take your word for it. The trouble is that it would apply, at least in theory, to a very wide range of people, too wide to be very meaningful. Perhaps it ought to be read as including people who have already attempted suicide and/or who are particularly likely to do so due to depressive illness. |
