Dash camera

[electronman1729]

I haven't responded because my camera hasn't been as reliable as it needs to be and I don't know if it's because the camera is cheap, or because I didn't get the best style of SD card to use in it, or both.

Why does the camera need to be concealable, and from who?

1. Don't want people to see it when in parking lots

2. Don't want others to see it if I'm involved in a collision.

The little 0906 is not concealed but is pretty discreet behind the mirror as it is difficult to see from a standing position outside my car. I could tuck it up higher but wanted to be able to see/run the controls. Besides the sensors that should lock a recording on impact, it comes with a little remote I have stuck on the backside of my phone cradle that I can press to take a pic, or long press to lock a recording.

I think anything else is going to need to be a remote cam in your grill. Depending on your vehicle, there are replacement rear view mirrors that are cameras but I question the quality. That said, I haven't looked into them much other than browsing.

Quality SD cards are a must if the unit has loop recording.

Can dashcam video be seized az evidence against the owner?

I don't see why not. If you mean for a basic accident with no obvious injuries when they are on scene, I can't imagine the police would even bother. Attorneys rarely get involved without injuries.

I’ve seen a video where the officer seized a motorcyclist’s GoPro, stating there was probable cause to believe it contained evidence of wreckless driving. Who knows if it was ruled admissible, but I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t.

The police can basically do whatever they want at the time. There have been stories of trying to confiscate SD cards out of phones of passersbys in the past before constantly recording the police became the norm.

I have several Spytec A119 cameras. They’re not completely hidden, but I’d say they’re pretty inconspicuous. They are wedge-shaped and attach to the glass.

I bought them a little over a year ago on Amazon. I hardwired front and rear in my SUV so they come on automatically. I haven’t had a need to use any footage, but it does provide some peace of mind.

Unless you're incapacitated, the mini 0906 has a GPS mount that sticks to the windshield and the camera just pops off in a flash. You do have to unplug the rear camera cable from the camera body itself, but it's just a USB. The sd card slot is also very accessible.

The A119 (perhaps even more so than the newer A129(?)) is a great value wedge dashcam. Very popular.
