In one of Techmoan's videos he mentions that it's a good feature as it would pick up someone bumping into your car.

He demostrated it when filming someone doing a multiple point turn to get into a space while he was away from the car.

No scally is going to key your bonnet, while hunching down so you'll get a good view, so stuff like movement detection is just a marketing feature rather than being of any use. Techmoan makes the same point in his videos.

Currently preferring the Xiaomi Yi, better made and around £37.66

I use Spytek Viofo a119, and had g1wh and mobius before.

This HP is too shiny and you will need to hide it in a glove box every time you leave your vehicle. Still don't understand why the manufacturers feel that their products need to have chrome finish with all options described on front face of dashcam, stupid.

If anyone has no plans to remove overnight or when parking in suspected dodgy areas, get some black tape/scissors.black marker and get to work. If you want to take it to another level, download a small logo of some rubbish chinese brand and stick it on the front.
I have an aldi dashcam which looks pants and leave overnight with no issues for many months.

Just ordered as I've been looking for a replacement for my mobius which wasn't far off blowing up.

just bought last one. Thanks

I have 2 of this and it's one of the best plugged in cable hidden auto start when the car start. Excellent product with GPS and good software that record speed and location

Make sure you buy high speed memory card or if on long journeys will crash your recordings

my mobius worked for 2 weeks then stopped, tried heat gun trick but failed..

MOBIUS all the way. Matchbox size, top build quality, excellent software, can be hidden away.

Looks to be a rebadged Transcend camera to me.

I heard the best place for a dash cam is behind the real mirror. Can this fit there?

I've found Amazon list the item box size which would make sense at 160mmx130mm, over 6" for a dash cam would be crazy brick, I mean big

Then that makes the g sensor and motion detection features a bit pointless and not much of a deterrent. Just get a mobius then, better sensor.

Mine delivered the other day,seems well built,compact,and hopefully I will never need to use it.

I don't want some scally breaking my window and nicking my camera,
god knows why the makers cover these things with chrome bling and flashing lights.

Looks like a rebadged version of ones I have

Picture quality is better than I expected, only 30fps so won't capture fine detail in the same way a gopro at 60fps would but then its 1/4 the price.

Fire and forget, switches off automatically, can enable motion detection (which drains battery) or if it detects a bump. Quite pleased with mine, visible to car in front which will stop them doing something stupid, I don't want a covert camera, I want the **** in front to know he's being watched.

a118 dash cam much better, fits under rear mirror...

It does and if it measured 160mm x 130mm it would be.
It does not

​probably box size

Dimensions from HP website: 63 x 70 x 28.7 mm

It has 1/3 CMOS sensor, so nice picture quality expected from me :smiley:

...said the actress to the bishop

plus card £15.99. so looking at £55.99.

I can't believe it's that big :confused:

Bigger camera should have bigger lens. I'm assuming that HP plastic is better than small squeaky crap from small no-name Chinese factory too. It's in my basket, thanks! :smiley:

Polaroids are making a comeback

biggest downsides are no wifi and this unit is very bulky
