Wow I will have to get a roof mounted cam in case of a shunt from low flying aircraft

works the other way too though - if you spend 30 seconds setting up your cam so you leave a little later you may be lucky and someone runs in to the guy in front of you rather than you...

I have this very Mirror cam. It films most of the road but not the turnings on the right. Adjustment is poor cant understand why they didnt make them to swivel more. Fits older smaller rear view mirrors better than quick wider dim dip mirrors. Also had to place tissue in the ball socket of the mirror to stop it moving especially on speed bumps and sudden braking. The weight of the device causes this. In fact with this type of design I think in an impact it would deflect the camera after the first impact and then not record the after footage in some types of accident. Small lightweight discrete dash cams are probably a better option.

You definitely get what you pay for, to a point, with dashcams, in the best/brightest conditions (much like a normal camera), the pictures may be reasonable, but as light fades, the quality really diminishes with poor lenses and processing power. On a slightly overcast day, poor dashcams are pretty useless at making out number plates and you probably wouldn't even be able to identify the make/model of the car from the poor image you'll get. The cheaper ones are especially prone to overheating in the hot environment of a parked car on a sunny day. For a tenner I can't imagine this is any good at all.

Is there sufficient adjustment of the lens for RHD application? Thanks.

worth a try for a tenner.
Thanks :smiley:

Can't recommend dash cams enough. I had to get one after a guy bashed me up the rear and drove off without even leaving his details

Err u can fit em to your rear or front or side or have it stuck on top of your roof

You can get a dual channel set up (front and rear cameras, or one unit with a front and back facing camera - like many smart phones and tablets). I have the Thinkware F770 in mine - it isn't cheap but has very good quality Sony EXMOR hardware front and back cameras and will monitor the car while parked up in case anyone clips you in the car park etc.

ive a qvia front and rear set up in my company car. expensive but way better than the petrol station specials for £20
