Dash cams

[Nemo39]

Just seeing what everyone is running and personal reviews. I'm looking at getting the blackvue. I would like to hardwire it in but would need it to have constant power. I want a camera that will turn on when I start driving and turn off when not in use but have an impact sensor that will turn the camera on if someone hits the truck while in a parking lot. Any suggestions?

I've been looking to do the same. Been doing some research but cant seem to make a decision.

I bought the Ojocam and it's a really great product for the price. Completely satisfied with the camera itself.

However, I am having mounting issues! The only mount available has an angle built in to match the curve of the windshield. My problem is I have the lane depart system behind my rear view mirror which is flat/level, so sticking the camera to it results in it being crooked. I tried to stick it to glass below lane depart box but it's just too noticeable / in my line of sight. I can't stick it left or right of lane depart box b/c of aftermarket tint.

Someone had a pic with the JAEWONCNC IROAD behind their mirro and it looked great. Youtube videos showing recordings look very clear. They are on eBay and Amazon.

I have the blackvue and I love it, have it hardwired so it runs all the time and shuts up before it kills the battery.

I just bought a Blackvue today and installed it right away.

Didn't hotwire it though. Just the plug into the lighter.

And you want to have it running even if you're not driving. That way the cam will catch someone hitting your car while trying to park.

The cam will switch to the so called 'parking mode' automatically.

 

I don't know where you live in Canada but here are two links to check out for you.

The first one is an online shop in Vancouver, BC.

The second one is a shop in Burnaby, BC. So you can actually walk in and talk to a real person... .

GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition, quick connect/disconnected mounted on inside of windshield beneath r-v mirror, wi-fi connected with both camera remote control and/or using IPAD control. Power is hardwired through mini-usb to map light power feed wire (discrete wiring, hardly visible).

 

Can take frame by frame stills or video, in box or pano mode at anytime desired provided a passenger is controlling the camera using either ( I do not attempt to operate it while driving the vehicle) The wi-fi feature also allows instant viewing from the IPAD which is a stellar feature. I also purchased the widescreen viewfinder that permits a somewhat easy view from the back of it as to what the camera is seeing.

 

Generally, do not run with it on/operating full time, but am still experimenting with its options. Living in Alaska, we look forward to some wilderness touring where we hope to grab some great shots and videos from it.

 

Snap, click and send off the photos/vid's via the IPAD instantly and with the additional option mounts permit placement elsewhere, i.e. suction cup'd to a point on the exterior body such as the fender or hood to get even better shots and clear of the glass. We also get use of it on our bikes, in hand or just about anywhere you can imagine. Not the cheapest means out there but with is small size and versatility offer great features bundled in a very small pkg.

Give the ITRONICS ITB-100HD FULL HD a try. Been running one for the last 2 years and this thing still rocks.

 

I've tried the ITRONIC too a while ago but it only last for 6-ish months. Cause: overheating.

But excellent picture quality though.

 

Let's see how long the Blackvue keeps going.

At least it has one year warranty.
