Nitrox posted:I have it on good authority but nobody ever goes back and looks at that continuous running footage unless something really good/bad happened. That's... true, though if you're making a roadtrip movie, it's great to have some time laps footage to cut to.

Sorry, yeah, should have specified this is purely for fun/aesthetic reasons and not for serious/insurance purposes. I kind of envisioned doing a time-lapse video afterward, although I can't help but wonder if something interesting on the road might happen over the course of several days on the road. (I realize the answer may well be "probably not".) Javid posted:some states/shitholes the cops will hassle you about stuff hanging in your view, but I would not effort much harder than binder clipping it to the visors to run it down a pillar or something I like the binder clip idea! And it's going to be a solo trip so I can run it down the passenger side and not give a gently caress about the wire dangling across anyone's legs.

y'all are mean  Here's one of my time-lapses to ignore, especially the part at 1:58 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlhWPniOZEY&t=117s For real though Rev. Bleech_ I think the appeal on some of these would be watching the landscape morph or going through some weather or interesting topographic features. Nothing wrong with what you've put up, and its kind of cool to watch and skip around. For me, I'd planned to take about 60 minutes of video and compress into 4 minutes or less to suit today's attention spans.

Rinkles posted:Any one have any opinions on this deal? Sorry I'm struggling with figuring out what's important in a dash cam. I just finished installing this and tucking all the cables under the trim in my car not five minutes ago. I've had it hooked up and running flawlessly for the last week after the Viofo I ordered was a total piece of poo poo and got sent back. Once I was happy knowing that the 70MAI wasn't going to suck rear end straight out of the box as it sat with cables dangling everywhere since last weekend, I figured I wouldn't be returning it. So far I am neither overwhelmed nor underwhelmed. It's cool to have a rear camera, and it sees through dark tint really well, but a dashcam is a dashcam is a dashcam so long as it works consistently and reliably. License plate readability is pretty terrible so far, even in decent lighting conditions, but I did install this custom firmware a few hours ago to see if it doesn't help at all. I won't be able to report on that for a day or two though, and I guess I'll have to read any plates out loud for the mic to pick up as per standard practice for the last 7 years with these things. Also, it's probably worth it to mention that if you or your sister have never installed something like this, you might want to budget to have someone do the work of running all of the wires through the fuse box and up through the trim for you, because I know what I'm doing and it was still a major pain in the rear end on a 16 year old Pontiac. It'll probably be an hour shop time at any reasonable garage, plus fuse taps or even the parking surveillance cable that I see is sold separately and won't let me engage that mode without it.  I can imagine someone with little to no DIY skill receiving this kit as a present and being happy about receiving a dashcam, then either seeing what's involved in setting it up and just deciding to not even try it, or trying to get by with cables dangling all over the place only to in-relatively-short-order get frustrated with how messy it is and decide to get rid of it. But that probably goes for most dual dashcam systems and wouldn't necessarily be attributable to this one alone.

However, the 229 has the front and back cam and I'm putting it in my SUV (Subaru Ascent), and was wondering how people handled putting the camera on the back glass. I was debating running a connection at the back window so I could replace the wire if necessary but didn't know if that was overkill. Otherwise I am going to just pull it through the roof trim, and give enough slack so it will be loose when the door is open, and hopefully not dangling. I didn't know if people thought that the opening/closing would break the wire/connector causing me to have to replace it or if I'm just overthinking it.

 https://i.imgur.com/4D4lUVL.mp4 This happened earlier today. The woman driving the SUV is 6 months pregnant and was not feeling well after the hit. The driver who ran the red light actually tried to flee the scene, but was blocked in and forced to stay. Then started screaming at the pregnant lady, challenging her to a fight. What a piece of poo poo. The reason I have a camera running for over 8 years now is the same exact situation, where I hit a car flying through the red light, and they fled the scene almost immediately. Then police showed up nearly 2 hours later to write it up as a single car accident. Because Philadelphia Nitrox fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Jan 28, 2024 |

opengl posted:I could tell it was Philly from the first frame. Red lights are optional here now, didn't you hear? Always have been Philadelphia is too busy of a city to worry about traffic infractions. So they focus on parking violations and now automated cameras in major hot spots. And it's sorta kinda helping, but more needs to be done, for sure.

Couple of road ragers as I was about to pick my kid up from school https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92Qolg1cPb0 I saw them in my mirror brake-checking each other, swerving, at one point they stopped, one got out, the other took off and gave chase again... anyway, they blow by me and other traffic in the middle lane, then (it's hard to see in the video) the SUV was in the middle lane and the Audi was in oncoming traffic passing them, and almost hit a white pickup head on at speed. Meanwhile, busses from my son's school are coming in the other lane as well... Sorry for the formatting, I had to merge two clips together and it did something weird. What do you guys use to merge clips?

CornHolio posted:What do you guys use to merge clips? If it's just 2 separate recording from the same source/settings then: code:(ffmpeg installation instructions not included) If 2 different recoding types (especially different aspect ratios), either DaVinci Resolve (commercial product but free for personal use with some limiations) or OpenShot (open source, of course free), either way just make sure to start a new project and set the desired resolution on it first, then drag the clips in to the project and make them big/fit as best you can. Lazy option: Upload the clips individually to youtube, add them to a playlist, link people to that.
