Quality wise, you gets what you pays for, looking at the spec for the first
on list, I see it has continuous loop recording.

I have a spare 16 GB TF card, anyone care to guess how many minutes before
it starts to overwrite ? TIA

Card size maximum for dash cam = 64G. The other memory is probably
needed for the primary sat nav function to store the maps.

Possibly the best position for fitting a sat nav is NOT the idea
position for a dash cam.

It seems vanishingly unlikely that someone considering buying a 7.99 camera
is going to decide that perhaps they might buy a 300 pound one instead

I'd suggest the reference to the item was simply down to duration of
recording on a known card size.

There are too many other variables for it to be a reference marker
though, notably image resolution/quality/fps being the most significant.

Crikey - 300 quid. You must be very well off.

I am surprised that your new car does not have a built in sat nav. You could
then have spent just a hundred quid on a proper decent camera.

it’s worth trying Waze before spending a big sum of money on the Nuvicam. "

It's rubbish, as my daughter wanted the loo near Harrogate, a McDs logo hove into view on my Nuvicam and as she used to be a manager in a Hull one, she waltzed in. My Giulia hasn't even got a dead end in Chisinau on it like my Nuvicam has.

That depends on what is meant by "permanently".

The suspension of a driving licence for medical reasons is indefinite
rather than permanent. But for many with "notifiable conditions", in
practice, it will turn out to be permanent.

I think if they are made aware of such a person they contact their GP to ask
his opinion.

I think it's up tp the person themseleves to inform the DVLA.
My brother had an epileptic fit in the mid 80s . This year he tripped hit his head and 10mins later found himself sittign in the living room on the sofa.
he remebers tripping, putting out his hands and falling on the paving slabs and that's it.

Went for a hospital check up and they told him in their view it's very unlucky they are linked but teh previous doctor he saw thought there could be links so he was told to contact the DVLA and tell them the situation otherwise his insurance might not be valid if he made a claim.
So he has a MIR scan at the end of this month on a sunday ! just to check.
He had a CAT scan which showed notbhing unusual last month.

Yep, because if they didn’t, half the country wouldn’t
have a license and would just drive without one.

It depends and might be variable anyway, but I would guess at three to
eight hours.

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.

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.

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.

That will be absolute ****e. If you want it to do something useful, for
example resolve a numberplate I would spend a little more.

I have had a Transcent Drivepro 200 for a couple of years and I think
it's pretty good. £80 ish in Halfords; Argos and suchlike.

Small enough to hide behind the rear view mirror.

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 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.

It's also on Amazon with the usual customer reviews, shills and

Just an update, a friend of a neighbour recommended the XGODY car cam. At
£23 it's a tad more expensive than those above but he says it's worth it for
ease of use an it comes with a User Guide, written in almost perfick
Engrish.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_fr...cam&_sac at=0
or http://tinyurl.com/z5cmzyr

BTW the card it uses is The TF Flash Micro SD. He guesses he gets about 24
hours of motoring from a 16 GB card, before it overwrites.

One thing I forgot to ask. If you scroll down onto the (above) Installation
pics, it shows the route of the power cable down to cig lighter socket. Are
those fixing clips easy to come by? TIA.
