New Dash Cam.

[t-tony]

The first Dash Cam I ever bought and had on my Z3 packed up a few weeks ago. It wasn't an expensive one, around £60 9 years ago. I bought a Nextbase 412GW for £89.99 from Halfords online store, it would not record sound at all and video was rubbish. I took that into Halfords in Lincoln and they happily exchanged it for one which recorded sound and video - out of sync.
So I've ended up buying the later version of the one I had before. These are very compact and sit right behind the interior rear view mirror and if it were not for the rain sensor you would not see it front the drivers seat, as it is you can just see the bottom edge.

As you can see these are a very compact unit and give very good video and audio recording.

The camera slides into the GPS base which is stuck to the screen with a double sided 3M pad. The later ones have a "rubberised" coating which gives it a more quality feel than the old plastic one. I'll add a eBay link and YouTube clip.

It’s possible it’s only using the first 64Gb of the 128Gb however.

I like your drive through drying device, for when you have washed the car

I have come unstuck in the past where the towels needed to be washed again Pete..

The only reason I'm using a 128GB card is because it said that is what would support on the eBay listing, I was a bit miffed when I looked at the box it came in.

ps. I sent a question to the seller asking if it will work ok.

I have just fitted a dash cam to my Merc as this seemed to be the way to go as incidents seem common place looking on utube. I have now changed my mind and taken it out of the car. I think it is a bit like mobile phones ,you are terrified to leave the house without it.
I have been driving for over fifty years without an accident so I want to enjoy my freedom a bit longer.

I bought a Nextbase 512 from Halfords, and it worked great straight out of the box, I even downloaded some footage to the laptop!!!!
I was also told to format the memory car about every two weeks, but sometimes I forget.

I really wanted those to work, I spent hours on their chat line seeking advice. I surprise I got was after sending pictures of my Samsung SD card she told me it was definitely a fake, which was amazing as I bought it at the local Carphone Wharehouse !!.
