dash cams, who's got them and what is best

I use the Blackvue DR900S-2ch 4k with magic box(always on/records on motion and shuts that function off dependent on car voltage, etc.).
Easy to install and very good clarity and Front/Rear protection, parking mode.

Blackvue has one now that you can add a SIM card too and check on the car remotely for the same price as what I paid

EDIT: I believe if you add it to your cart, and complete all the info, and don't press checkout. in a day or so, they'll send you a 10% off. Not sure if that still works, but it may

 

If you're so inclined, check out DashCamTalk...lots of good info.

do you go to a doctor for medical advice? nope.
just ask the beeb, Dr. Beeb, BuD

 

You don't have to call it "Doctor" .....

 

Got this one last year in my Durango and works perfectly with a 128gig SD card

PLZ note that the prices are Canadian... so surely cheaper down where you are

 

We’ve used the cheapo one Walmart sells for 2 years. Works great minus replacing the cord twice. They replaced it both times. Hyperion makes it I believe. Sends the 1080 video right to my phone.

Does it send it twice?

 

I'm in Victoria, BC, which granted, is further south than damn near all the rest of the country but sadly things aren't any cheaper here.

 

Ah didn't know... Indeed quite expensive your neck of the woods !!!

Well still not expensive the items I posted

 

So let's say your dash cam/rear view cam catches some asshole bumping your car in a parking lot or hell even something as small as a door ding but the douchebag wasn't polite enough to leave a note or maybe doesn't even realize they did it and your cam also catches their license plate. What do you do? File a police report? Seems a little bit of a waste of resources but I gotta say, gouging one of those types of assholes would make me happy. How would you proceed? Just give the report to insurance and let them pay for the repair and the douchebag probably never even knows?

While I also would like to get cams for my wife and I's vehicles primarily to cover our asses, the thought of being able to catch inattentive parking lot cock sneezes and make life really inconvenient for them for a bit also makes me happy. But not sure how plausible that is.

 

Leave a note on the windshield letting the owner know that you witnessed the incident and you have it on video.

 

Oh, crap, your own car. Never mind.

 

What are the chances that said individual ever even knows they were caught besides you leaving a note for them? I'm guessing police won't even pursue something that minor, nor would insurance find it worth the required resources to have it pursued, right?

 

I’ve given my dash cam footage to some LEO agencies for aggressive/reckless driving and tailgating incidents, only had one call me back and ask if I’d testify, never heard more about it after that.

 

Yep file a report. It may change how or what part of your policy covers the damage.

Went off shore tuna fishing for the first time off Ocean Shitty, Maryland about 17 years ago with some guys from work. Charter boat and all that. Had a blast.
Came back from the trip to find the passender side front of my Accord smashed into and did significant damage.

Called OCPD and filed a report with them, and because I did...the damage was covered under the Uninsured Motorist part of my policy. Deductible $250.

If I hadn't, it would have been covered under the other parts of my policy that carry a $1000 deductible.

Police report saved me $750.

 

This. You're insurance will go after the other driver and get them to pay. You won't need to interact with the other party at all.

 

my wife was asked by a detective for the dashcam footage. we sent it over, but never heard anything. it was crazy though. a driver in a new body 750il crashed into the back of a car, and then almost hit 3 other cars getting away from the scene. the ROAV by Anker videocam was able to clearly see the license plate of the other vehicle. So I do also recommend that camera on a budget.
