dash cams, who here uses them?


Recommended Posts

I almost bought a GoPro Hero3 White just a little while ago, but I decided to wait another week (payday).

I had some idiot customer back into me before I could even get my car started. She jumped in, threw her car into reverse, backed into my front bumper, then hops out and says "you haven't started your car yet?". I was like "heck no", since I was in the process of putting the key in the ignition by the time she hit me. Nothing but a little scuff, so I didn't worry about it, other than the bitch will probably turn around and try to throw a hit-and-run accusation at me.

I've been wanting to get one for a while, just because of some interesting stuff I see while driving, plus it would help if a customer tries any funny business like driving off without paying

Here is a recording from one I was testing. Only had 3 cameras at the time. Just so happens a week after I installed it, we were clipped by a truck. This video was enough info to prosecute the owner with a hit and run. Quality sucks because at the time, the viewer program that came with this unit sucked balls and didn't work. We were later able to off load the data.

I currently have 4 units stacked and are mirroring the data in on some longer term testing. So needless to say, there is a shit ton of cables in the back.

I have yet to find a current production unit that would be worth talking about to others looking to pick something up.

not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. :)

They also come in handy when you get pulled over. I had one cop almost rear end me while I was pulling into a gas station. He got out and was VERY heated over his dumb move. I calmly pointed out he was being recorded, and was told to have a nice day and he left.

Doesn't have a model number. It's a prototype, and in all honesty a bad one at that.
