Dash Camera Recorders - Which One?
« on: May 06, 2017, 08:17:55 PM »
Looking at thread on "Court Case" and some TV progs on 10/One etc, it would appear that a dashcam (f & r) C/w a hidden recorder may
be an inexpensive addition to a Corvette or even a family car.

So! Do we have members who have tried these ?.

Any comments, brands etc.

I watched an English  Youtube he made following suggestions.
Highest definition.
Both front and rear cameras.
Small recorder that can be concealed.
But biggest issue was definition and clarity esp at night.

The list went on - but I would appreciate any Oz users comments.
Thank you.

There is an Australian invention called GoPro

GoPro, Inc. (marketed as GoPro and sometimes stylised as GoPRO) is an American technology company... founded by Nick Woodman (an American businessman and philanthropist) in 2004. He was motivated by a 2002 surfing trip to Australia in which he was hoping to capture quality action photos, but could not because amateur photographers could not get close enough or buy quality equipment at reasonable prices.


Might do the job

So, the GoPro records great video and is easy to manage. That means its a great car camera right? Unfortunately not. During our tests we identified some fundamental issues which limit the GoPro's effectiveness as a dash cam.
