***Expired now*** Decent little dash-cam, at a good price. Bonus of GPS and a decent brand.
Amazon selling for £99 - but this is sold by Hitec Dis and fulfilled by Amazon. Not sure how many they have left - probably only a few?

You have trust issues with your daughter. Presumably you spy on her in other ways? Track her phone to see where she's going? Hidden cameras in her bedroom to check she isn't taking drugs? Why give her the car if you have zero faith in her?

Thanks.
Bought one, but undecided whether to put this at the back of the car and leave my Drivepro 200 in the front or swap then round.
The Drivepro is very good at night and day, but I've heard this one is not so good at night although it's smaller so should be hidden a little better.

Have decided to cancel my order as looking on the Internet at reviews etc it's not that good at night and looks nearly as big as my Drivepro 200 (which I take out at night).
Going to wait for something more discrete and better quality for the front (don't know if they will be doing 4k dashcams in the future for a decent price).

Wouldn't bother with the GPS to be honest. Mobius Action Camera is the way to go, excellent footage at night and the size of a matchbox. About the same price.

Yes I have just ordered one from banggood for my car - BMW forum peeps love them, but purchased this for my daughters car.
She is a new driver and as part of the "I will be a nice dad and buy you a car" contract I insisted on fitting a dash-cam with GPS for a bit of security and for my own investigation if I suspect any driving silliness.
Will keep her honest for a while if she suspects I might review her driving style at any moment and steal her keys away :smile:
For £49 (the mobius is around the same price as you say) you get a screen, GPS and no interference with DAB radio, which the Mobius is notorious for.

I guess the Mobius is much smaller, the screens on dash cameras are pretty useless as they are such low quality the first thing you do is upload to PC, The Mobius is just so small (no screen) and are so easy to tuck away that Simon Smackhead wont be able to spot it when your car is parked up. You see these morons with wires hanging down and plugged into something bigger than a 1980's VHS recorder. The whole idea of a dash cam is to offer protection in the event of a claim and be non-intrusive in the process.
Good Dads always buy their kids a dash cam. She knows that Daddy can view her driving at any point and any sillyness leads to no car. I LOVE IT! Dash cams should be built in to modern cars along with black box recorders. Insurance claims and fraud would nose dive. I wouldn't have GPS personally as you doing 33mph in a 30 zone and having an accident will see the other drivers legal team have a field day!

This looks like a polished up version of the cheap generic Chinese cams you can get for £14 (obviously without GPS) The Mobius would be the camera to get as its so unobtrusive and you're able to swap lenses and even get remote image sensor/lens modules. Replacing the LiPo battery with a super capacitor you'll get years use out of it.

GPS data wouldn't be relied upon in a court, lack of calibration.

EH? and just who told you that golden nugget of information? GPS is about as calibrated to the atomic clock as you're going to get. Anything that shows you were over the speed limit will have a significant impact on your compensation claim in the event of injury, laying of blame and so on etc. If I was giving it to a young driver then YES damn right I would have GPS to make sure they knew it was there and ready for viewing. Personally no thanks EVER!
