Arran Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Wonder what the original gopro is like compared to the new 3rd version, one advantage of number 3 is wifi and smartphone app! Quote
wizurd Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 bbk have you got a pic from the inside of the car to see how the camera looks. interested to see how much space it uses up Quote
WhackyWill Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 BBK why not fit a IR Night Vision set up.. Quote
spursmaddave Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Jeez it looks huge there and surely if you leave it there it is easily seen and just looking for someone to smash the side window and pinch it Not being negative I like the idea of a camera like that but maybe a bit more discreet and hidden....

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Hidden behind rear view mirror, can only see a bit of it. In bluewater ATM, will take another pic when home. Edited March 10, 2013 by The Bounty Bar Kid Quote
wizurd Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 personally that looks real good. dont get in the way at all does it. Quote
4RE Leather Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Dip. Arran wants you to upload that racket from the back of my car yesterday pls:) Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Yeah I know, but atm I'm busy. Will do it tomorrow. Here's some night time footage... But, it's not that great looking. Can anyone suggest a better place to upload video to? Quote
spursmaddave Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 From inside... I meant it looks huge from OUTSIDE i.e. like leaving a satnav stuck to the screen just asking for someone to smash the window and grab it.... Quote
4RE Leather Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 From inside... I meant it looks huge from OUTSIDE i.e. like leaving a satnav stuck to the screen just asking for someone to smash the window and grab it.... I take mine out when parked up Quote
Darren-B Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Thats pretty cool, I want to gedt something like this thst is transferable. I do about 40k a year over 4vehicles so I obviously see my fair share of stupid drivers, just last week for example, driving through C.London. Crossed a yellow box, as I entered there was enough room for me to stop without being in the box then some prick Audi driver decided to go up the bus lane & cut in front making me stop in the box. So will probably get a fine for that. a camera could have helped me contest this. Quote

Same thing happened to me, be interesting to see if that would get you off, I assume it would but then surely the same cameras that show you in the box would show the Audi too..... Quote

I take mine out when parked up True but then that kind of defeats the object of motion sensing or running all the time.... I would want something that looks a little less like a camera then I could leave it hard wired in as like I said some scrote sees it and 10 seconds later window smashed and its gone Quote
4RE Leather Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 2 years I had mine in. I often forget to take it out but it could be people think it's filming them so off they trot. The police trap cars have them in the window as well as in the cabin. Or they used to. Quote
S1an1de Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Yeah I know, but atm I'm busy. Will do it tomorrow. Here's some night time footage... But, it's not that great looking. Can anyone suggest a better place to upload video to? naughty ....i thought it was ilegal to have the live output of the camera visible to the driver whilst the vehicle is in motion [except parking cameras]....

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Oh yeah, with my model you can access features, settings and live viewing via WiFi on a smart phone or tablet. Apple and Android. Quote
4RE Leather Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) I really want one that does all the stuff yours does Dip, but with rear facing cabin camera as well? Edited March 11, 2013 by 4RE Leather Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) I really want one that does all the stuff yours does Dip, but with rear facing cabin camera as well? Then you want this... http://www.incarcame..._Witness_HD.php 720p camera at the front, 640x480 camera at the back for an extra 59.99. Need to pay 39.99 for the WiFi add on and then 29.99 for the smart power add on (which let's your camera run when the engine is off but will cut off when the voltage drops). Comes to a grand total of 380! I didn't go for it as its a new company. Blackvue cameras have been around for a while. Mine cost 279.99 inc the smart power add on and mine records at 1080p but one camera only. Edited March 11, 2013 by The Bounty Bar Kid Quote

Its not 1080 like yours but 720 the same as mine. Umm need to do a bit more checking. Quote
4RE Leather Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 what about these http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1423.l2649 http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1423.l2649 tempted You get what you pay for and it looks like the one my neighbour got. It is very light and fragile with no rear camera. You really do get what you pay for were vehicle cctv/camcorders are concerned. There are proberbly about 10 over £150 on fleabay and 2000 under £50.

notfub Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) For those wanting to do a little bit of research I found this website http://dashcamtalk.com/ and associated forum http://forum.dashcam...64c33aa89e25d84 a good source of info. I've just ordered an Itronics ITB100HD SP via a trusted seller on ebay. I'll create an install thread when I get it fitted. I've also bought a cheapo on to handle the rear filming duties so got a bit of wiring to sort out Edited March 11, 2013 by notfub Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Only bad thing about mine it says was about the reliability issues. These came from the earlier models over heating. Apparently these have been sorted out. Case now has vents to let heat escape. So far so good. Haven't had any issues yet. But then again in England heat has never been an issue! Quote
