Dash camera

[rustycrusty]

Any of you guys used your cams for insurance claims, theft reporting, etc?

Which ones do you like?
Which ones have you found to work best at night?

I've had it for a couple of years now. Never needed it for myself and have offered to send video to a few people where I've captured their accident. No one has wanted the video, so no actual experience in using the video for insurance claims. It is getting a little slower on start up as it gets older, but it still produces good video, day or night. I would get another one.

I've been using one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B2Z7FL8?psc=1

I picked it a few months ago when it was on sale for $18 ?. It is easy to move between my personal vehicle & work truck.

Haven't needed to use any recordings for any claims yet, but did record some idiot drivers and close calls.

Watch some of the You tube "Stupid Drivers" videos and you will want to cover yourself with a dash camera of some sort.

I use a GoPro.
I did see a dash cam windshield camera at the Walmart Service Center on clearance for $15 here in COS. Down from $20ish a couple of weeks ago. Might wanna check yours if want something to try on the cheap.

How do you like the night footage? Good enough to catch a face and a plate?

Looks like he transferable form factor I'm after

I use this one and really like it. Pretty much the same as the one above but a wide viewing angle.

Download the free app. to your devise for storing or viewing the footage, it is very good in day light, and whatever is illuminated by headlights or streetlights is very legible.
The viewing angle is lacking, but good. No fisheye effect.

Thanks for the link. Just got two of the AD250's for our vehicles @ $42 per. Been kicking around the idea of dashcams and glad to finally take the plunge. I'd imagine the cost of a dashcam would easily be paid for any he said/she said accident where footage proves the other party at fault.

I got one from WalMart for $15 a few months ago from their clearance aisle. Haven't even opened it yet. I figured for $15 it was worth a shot.

I've gone through 3 of these. They die after 6months-1year.

Two stopped recording (I use a sandisk micro SD, so I know it's not the card), and one has a weird line and buzz when recording.

I've stopped buying them. Video Quality was pretty good for the price


I currently use this one now - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here's a video from it

I didn't want GPS or speed. It has great audio recording to document conversations when being pulled over
