DashCam/ Traffic recorder/ Accident camcorder or else named device advice wanted


Recommended Posts

You need to double check reviews on those rear view mirror type are usually made for left hand drive cars and will not adjust enough to give straight view on a right hand drive vehicle if the lens is offset to one side.

It looks to take up a lot of real estate on the screen looks to be about 7" in height with the GPS receiver on top so Id ensure you have a position to put it that wont restrict your view.

? good point again!  looks yes, though I think it would be smaller than  S1W ? there is quite a bit of a space on my windshield (not that a small of a car)

Also (late, sorry), I am leaning more in to smaller cams ( as either to combine for each purpose) (as Mobius (+ external modular Battery) or 808's) or as in two either (RELEE) "Underdogs" above...

very occasionally I'd like to take  that "DashCam" out of a car and stick it my Lid or fairing of a (moto)bike for "summer blast's" (tour's)

@ Anyone reading and taking notes: @ least half of my links where to the fake cameras! (I am shocked as well)

 

My deliberations?

C1W still on

 

MOBIUS is turning most favorable to be AIO device , so are RELEE (both  RLAT-92  & RLDV-920 models), pending verification to the hardware (seller) being genuine components/camera's/ seller and performance

 

Genuine 0801 MiniCameras are being considered still, BUT genuine, from Genuine sellers

 

 

INNOVV C1 or C2 is off the table because of USB connector/lead issues

as long awaited and appreciated review by techmoan.com guy is out!

 

 

Garmin have a device that is coming out. Knowing them, it should be a solid device, and probably the one of the best on the market.

Very impressive! Price is impressive too! as  quoted ~$200 = ?1000!!!! that is the cost of stolen DVR and door glass (- labour, if you forget to take it out of a car once)   :p

i'm interested in getting one of these too... but i believe (could be wrong) that to hold any weight in court they have to also measure your speed, acceleration, and probably some other nonsense too that the cheaper ones do not..

 

i was looking at a blackvue too, but at nearly ?200 there are other things i'd rather spend that on usually :D

 

maybe later this year :)

(Y)

I wasted near a week in researching... could have bought quite few for that money :p

Just saying from hours of footage, reviews etc:

no need to spend more than ?32- get yourself G1w as dash cam, else there is Mini 0801 as a smallest dash cam, else (I think it will be my choice, as it'll work as AIO) MOBIUS, else there is SJ1000, truly AIO, whilst very many other are good choices too, BUT ONLY if GENUINE!

 

As for courts etc- whole different ball game, however everything would depend on case/scenario/implication, hence footage would better used to submit to investigative Fuzz, before it reaches courts of any kind ;)

Good thread though, :)

someone kept sticking things on my car in my mums private carpark, they stuck nails under the tyres, and damaged the paint, I was looking for a cam to catch them in the act, but lucky for them they moved out before I decided whether or not to buy one, Like you OP, I found I was baffled by all the choices, and gave up looking :)

so my gs1000 arrived.

its pretty small, i thought it was going to be massive, its about the size of a big snickers/mars bar.

its very plasticky.

Just place it near the rear mirror and you'd barely notice it, the wire isn't that long.

Haven't done a proper run around town, but once i do i'll let you know.

Techmoan is a good resource for reviews on Dashcams 

 

I personally use CaroO Pro Android app with my Samsung Galaxy Mega. It cost me just ?2.90. It films in 2, 3, or 5 minute chunks, in 720p or 1080p or 10 min chunks in 480p. But 480p isn't good enough imho.

 

It also has speed/GPS features. It has an auto G Sensor whereby, if you have an "incident" it will auto save in a "separate folder" the previous 10 seconds and the next 10 seconds of video.

 

I also have my online cloud Mega Android app "auto-sync" the CaroO "event" folder. This means the files are auto uploaded safe online and or on your PC. The 20 seconds files are around 20mb.

 

See a sample HERE of it in use in my car. (Take in to account Youtube re-encodes when you upload so the vid may look slightly grainier than the original file))

Herm... footage?

or it never happened! :P

 

also for all really getting in to it, apart from quick overviews by techmoan.com guy, there is more detailed site DashCamTalk.com with forums.

 

This topic is obviously short version of shortest version as for need to know about them devices ;)

 

Also, "new product" on the marked, still not reviewed/tested/torn apart fully by experts is DIMIKA AIO small factor DVR (direct competitor to MOBIUS and INNOVV @ $70 US= ?46) , would be good if anyone has better idea about them to share with us?

so i tried out the cam on a 3 hour drive, today's weather was probably the worst for sometime too.

 

the camera itself, gs1000, isn't great, after watching the video i was disappointed as i could barely make out the number plates, there seemed to be a slight purple hue too.

and for some reason it missed 3 seconds where a driver cut me off, had it hit my car i wouldn't have the evidence to prove it!

 

also as hard as i tried to get an original i still can't be 100% sure, which causes a problem when it comes to updating the firmware!

so can't recommend the gs1000.

Anyone tried this one? Looks good, especially having front and rear, but it's a tad expensive for the 32gb/GPS version ?270

Go Pros don't natively allow an external power supply as they run from battery,they write to a single file as opposed to chapter files style storage,no gps and are more expensive

^ FUD mostly.

 

GoPro has a miniUSB plug, so virtually any charger for a smartphone with the appropriate connector can be "natively" used with it.

 

It doesn't write to a single file and "expensive" is a relative term. This is how much the quality costs these days and anything below this price point can be called a cheap knock-off, especially if it's some noname brand which has flooded this niche market.

 

Cheapest is the dearest.

youtube Mobius GoPro side by side test,  

?43 Vs ? 300...

 

There you have it (I've googled it since your link is broken).

 

Mobius is extremely oversaturated  :x

 

Besides, youtube downsamples videos. It's a worthless platform for video quality comparison.

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates by Taras Buria Windows 10 reached its end of life at the end of 2025. Microsoft kicked off the Extended Security Updates program, aimed at giving regular consumers one more year of security-only updates. By doing so, Microsoft gave users more time and money to update their computers to a newer operating system or compatible hardware. Now, with the end of the Extended Security Updates program quickly approaching, Microsoft is making an important adjustment. Users discovered that the official support article for the program now lists a new end-of-support date: The Extended Security Updates program is not a new concept. It has been an official way for business consumers to continue receiving critical updates for unsupported Microsoft products for many years. However, all this time, it was a business-only, paid feature. With Windows 10, Microsoft brought ESU to regular consumers, allowing them to get security updates for Windows 10 past October 2025 essentially for free. When Windows 10 was approaching the end of support, many guessed that Microsoft might adjust its support timelines, and this is exactly what seems to be happening. Of course, Microsoft would love everyone to switch to new computers, such as its latest Surface devices, but in the days of ever-growing hardware prices, not everyone is lucky enough to have money for a new PC. Leaving hundreds of millions of customers with a Windows version that no longer receives security updates is a major risk that Microsoft is not willing to take. If you have a Windows 10 PC to enroll in the Extended Security Updates program, check out this guide to learn how to do so.
    • Sony announces Bungie layoffs that will affect "significant number of employees" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sony today announced that major layoffs are happening at its first-party studio Bungie, the developer that has spawned series like Halo, Destiny, and Marathon over the past decades. The news arrives just weeks after Bungie delivered the final update to Destiny 2, and it's that team being hit with the layoffs the most. CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment Hermen Hulst revealed the staff reduction today, calling it "painful news." "Over the past several months, together with Bungie leadership, we reviewed the studio’s long-term direction, development priorities, resource needs, and role within our broader portfolio strategy," said Hulst, explaining the decision. "We explored multiple alternatives before concluding that a reduction was necessary to align the studio’s resources with its current priorities and long-term goals." The layoffs will be hitting "a significant number of employees" across most of the Destiny franchise development team. It doesn't look like Sony is planning to continue the series following Destiny 2's sunsetting update. The studio is said to be in early stages of looking at other projects to pivot to, but it's said that keeping the size of the team at current levels is no longer feasible. "We know this decision has a profound impact on the people affected, their families, friends, and teammates," said Bungie leadership in a separate message on social media. "While these changes are necessary to best position the studio now and for the future, that does not lessen the difficulty of this moment or the impact it has on those affected." At the same time, "some" of the Marathon development team are also affected by the layoffs. The recently released multiplayer-only extraction shooter title hasn't seen a big boom of players either, but the company is reportedly hoping that the live service experience will pick up players with future updates.
    • Microsoft adds reusable skills and finance data connectors to Copilot in Excel by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft is giving Copilot in Excel a collection of new features aimed squarely at finance teams. The update introduces reusable instructions for common tasks, connections to services such as FactSet and Morningstar, and a better way to review what Copilot intends to do before it starts changing a workbook. The most interesting addition is 'Skills' finally coming to Copilot in Excel. Skills let companies teach Copilot how to handle a recurring process, so employees do not need to write the same detailed prompt every month. Users can create skills that can specify the steps Copilot should follow, along with the required layout, formulas, and formatting. Microsoft says users can create their own skills by saving a SKILL.md file in OneDrive. The file is written using Markdown and tells Copilot when and how to perform the task. Once it is available, a user can select the skill in the Copilot pane or mention it in a prompt using the @ symbol. There is also a library of prebuilt finance skills for customers who do not want to create their own. Microsoft plans to let developers distribute additional skills through the Microsoft Marketplace and the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, with LSEG, Ramp, Rogo, samaya.ai, Velixo, and Vena among the first partners involved. The company says that it is also expanding the external data that Copilot can access from inside Excel. New connectors are being added for CB Insights, Daloopa, FactSet, Morningstar, PitchBook, and S&P Global data through technology developed by Kensho. There is a catch, however. Accessing these services may require a separate subscription from the relevant data provider, so a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence will not necessarily unlock all of them. FactSet is also only available in preview for now, with general availability planned for July. Microsoft is also trying to make Copilot’s workbook edits easier to inspect. Users can switch to a planning mode that shows which sheets, cell ranges, formulas, and assumptions Copilot intends to work with before it begins making changes. Once the work is complete, the Show Changes pane can distinguish edits made by Copilot from those made by human collaborators. The update continues Microsoft’s push to turn Excel Copilot from a chatbot into an agent that can carry out longer tasks. The company previously added an Agent Mode capable of planning and completing multi-step Excel work. Microsoft also recently acquired financial AI startup Fintool, another indication that finance is becoming a key target for its Excel AI strategy. Prebuilt skills, personalization, workbook rules, external connectors, planning mode, and Copilot attribution in Show Changes are generally available to Microsoft 365 Copilot customers using Excel on the web, Windows, and macOS. Custom skills are initially available to Microsoft 365 Insiders on Windows and Mac starting today. Microsoft plans to make them generally available across Windows, Mac, and the web over the next month. Partner-built skills are expected during the third quarter of the year. Availability may still differ depending on region and licensing.
    • Exactly. They serve different (although related) purposes.
    • Do not enter the code under any circumstances, or you will be sorry. It's definitely and most likely a hacking attempt.  That happened to me a couple of years ago, and I kept receiving those prompts for months. It's simply the attacker trying to get you tired of the constant requests, so you just give up and enter the code, so they can log in to your account.
