Will-MK7 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Hi everyone! I know some people already have one of these fitted. I have been looking at getting one, but I just want to know people's opinion on them and which one they would go for? I don't really want a massive camera on my window screen, I would like one that's Discreet and I can hide the wires for one aswell. Thanks in advance!

Will-MK7 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Thanks for doing that mate will look into getting one of them. Would prefer one with a screen though haha. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Haha if you have a screen more power it would use a guess lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will-MK7 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Cheers for the help mate, will get a few reviews up on some I've seen and see what's best haha Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 If you want one with a screen it will be much bigger. There's no point in having a screen on a dash cam in my opinion, you can connect the Mobius to a laptop to view videos, maybe a smartphone would work too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I have a thread of my own (check my signature). I like the cam, but I cant say I would turn down a mobius! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam1991 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 i got a cheapo one from amazon for £10 lol... sits in the corner of the passenger triangle window and causes no issues :) its hidden, wires are all tucked away, switches on when i turn the car on and turns off when cars off. films everything and has a flip down screen. quality inst amazing but if your using it as protection then what more do you need. if your using it to go blasting down country lanes then get a go pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully yours is better but at £10 I doubt you'll get a very detailed picture from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines ok, :) not perfect but can certainly read number plates etc :) but yeah i used to have one on my old rover and that was awful. a person on the side of the road was just 1 pixel haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I use the Roadhawk DC-2 for the front which utilises GPS & Google maps and a G-Force sensor. I use a cheapo camera for the back window (E-Prance). You can view some of my videos in the dashcam sub-forum. http://shop.roadhawk.co.uk/roadhawk-dc-2-dash-cam http://www.amazon.co.uk/E-PRANCE-Recorder-G-sensor-Megapixel-Detection-DVR/dp/B00FKTQ3NE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1422282612&sr=8-5&keywords=e-prance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Bear in mind though, the evidence for dashcam to be used in a prosecution if necessary must be clear, plates legible and features visible. If the picture is blurry it's little use to any prosecution and may be as much use as not being had I'm an insurance claim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Halfords are selling cams at reasonable prices now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Might look into that, is that reasonable before or after our discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Before and even better after. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductMobileDisplay?catalogId=10151&langId=-1&categoryId=306753&productId=1055116&storeId=10001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Looks good but I think mobius is probably better lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcr1 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I use the E-Prance Mini and it's fantastic, superb picture quality and just records when I start the car, It's £72 but it has the GPS logger and built in memory. You can buy the same camera without these features for less http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JJI41LI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 You could also install Daily Roads Voyager onto an Android phone for free too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodkat Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I have a Cobra 820E, small thing, screen on reverse, HD quality day and night, I think Argos is doing them for £60 online, comes with everything you need. I highly recommend it. Sent from my Gen 1 WAP phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcr1 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Here's a little bit of footage from mine, it really isn't anything exciting but it shows the quality, I also mute the sound as there's no real need for it. Night: Day: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will-MK7 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Thank you everyone for your help and advice on the dashboard cameras, decided to order a next base one as they don't look to big, have a little screen and no ones had any problems with them yet. Thanks again Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
