Dashcam - Take 2

Post by Ducklakeview » Fri Jul 28, 2017 2:57 pm

Ok, so after buying 3 x the Lidl dashcam's last week and having to return them, as they bounced around on the mounts making the video useless... I've just ordered 3 of these... Dual camera, full HD for about £28 delivered...

Will update when they arrive..

On the lookout for a dashcam myself, tempted by the "2k" HD ones like the MiVue 658 but not sure if thats overkill, also 30fps or 60fps, 120degrees or 140? hahaha. Its more complicated than it needs to be :cry:

Got this

Nice bit of kit! Sits flush against the screen and doesn't get in the way. Quality is decent too. Mind you I got this for £60 while it was on offer.

I've never had any good experience with cheap cams less than a 100 quid as the lens quality is invaribly poor for reading number plates and coping with light conditions. Yes they record and that but useless if you have blurred number plates. Interested on feedback.
