trikidy Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hello, a friend of mine has like a camera facing forward that records what happens in front of him, it's for peace of mind in the event of an accident. A few questions, what one is a good one? Where does the data get stored too? How does it know when the car is on? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Dash cams are getting quite popular. There are a lot of cheap Chinese imports - worth researching (more expensive doesn't necessarily mean better) There is a Dash cam forum - and there is a good thread on the Fiat Forum ('Cheap Dash Cam') They're often wired in to a switched live - on the Fiats, generally tapped into the 12v socket. I will be getting one myself after my next sea trip - probably an F70 or F70N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preee Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Here's a front and rear view , mines a dual camera , records to a 32gb class10 SD card , light was not very good in the two videos , but this gets worse at night time , cameras that state night vision like mine , makes no difference at all , so don't go for one that tries to make out that it makes a difference.Mine is connected to ignition live and records constantly. just remove the SD card and you can transfer the recordings to a PC. Mine cost's about £70 off eBay , there are loads of new ones around. http://dashcamtalk.com/dash-cam-comparison/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
