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


Recommended Posts

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.

As for AIO in day time... I'd say is on a par

as for night footage- most important failure/aspect of any/most as DashCam's see this:

so i went and brought a transcend dp200 camera

its great!

great during the day, and good at night. easy to see number plates.

direct from amazon, so no fakes.

 

works straight out of the box, a bit big, but thats fine.

and it shuts off and turns on when you need it .

 

no gps, but otherwise fine.

I just bought a Sheezeus GT550WS about 2 weeks ago, and so far it's great.  The quality at day and night is very nice and it records license plates clearly with no issues.  It has a decent size screen on it, so I could replay a video on the spot, if needed.  I also have a mount for it that clamps onto my rearview mirror, so it's very discreet.  I paid about $100 for it (plus $20 for a 32GB microSD), so it's a great deal for something small and high quality.

I just started using one and am still learning how it all works but the price point finally got to where I am willing to buy.

 

Oh and I just ordered 2 more - one for each of the other cars. 

 

Seems like really, really cheap insurance as well as a way to show the mayhem that goes on out there to others. 

 

(I've been commuting 2 hrs a day for almost 11 years now and have seen LOTS of stuff and even dodged death twice.)

Latest on DashCams issues:

0801 packed up, used GT680W for almost a year now, still love the quality and used few clips (privately) for laugh etc, never came to the real use as for RTA evidence, but learned, that iedeally would use (if buying now) screen less, even smaller factor one, "just set and forget" one.

If any, my recommendations (for my ownself) would be Möbius; BlackSys CF-100 (single) - both under £60 or cf-100 twin (£70) recorder.

Fed up, borred of waitinng when it would/will pack up... :/

Also, bought and used couple of times externall battery usb pack as a rcamcorder- great videos, but lack of enthusiasm, means can't wait for a reason to upgrade... And have a laugh at myself for buying "proper" camcorder, quality is trully not comparable, despite £350 paid 3 years ago. ;)

Possible to get WAY better, but as is today using non HD CW-100 - £30 worth from amazon- best thing after sliced bread, especially using at night with WDR on.

Highly recommended! :)

From what I've seen, DATAKAM manufactures the best quality dashcams when it comes to recording videos at night.

 

Karkam is second best imho.

 

Here's a video comparing 2015 models. Both models have been improved since then.

    • As someone who isn't in the EU what is all this gatekeeper stuff about anyways?
    • The data center gold rush has tossed all forms of sensibility and reasoning right out of the window. The craziest part being that AI infrastructure isn't driven by consumer demand. It's being driven by manufacturers to force AI onto the market, consumers be damned.
    • Apple has not said whether the new prices are temporary ..... LOL.... These are the new prices peeps, because they will still sell them. Everybody will get used to the price hike = more Profit!
    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers by Pradeep Viswanathan Under the European Commission's Digital Markets Act (DMA), a company is presumed to be a gatekeeper if it meets certain quantitative thresholds. However, the Commission can still investigate and designate a company even if it does not meet the numeric thresholds, provided the service has a major market impact. The European Commission launched its investigations into AWS and Azure on November 18, 2025, to address unfair or anti-competitive practices in the cloud sector. Today, the European Commission has informed Amazon and Microsoft of its preliminary view that their cloud computing services, AWS and Azure, should be designated as gatekeepers under the DMA. The EC highlighted that Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are the largest and second-largest cloud computing services in the European Union. Both of these platforms act as important gateways between businesses and their customers in the EU. The EC further mentioned that AWS and Azure have reached significant turnover, built large and entrenched user bases, and benefit from high switching costs and customer lock-in. Furthermore, their operational capacity and investments appear to have outpaced those of competitors. Teresa Ribera, Executive Vice-President for Clean, Just and Competitive Transition, said the following: It is important to note that the findings are preliminary and do not decide the final outcome. Amazon and Microsoft can now review the findings and respond to the Commission. However, if the Commission confirms its preliminary findings, it will formally designate Amazon and Microsoft as gatekeepers for AWS and Azure. Once designated, Microsoft and Amazon will have six months to bring their cloud services into full compliance with the DMA’s rules and regulations.
