Are any of the dashcams on DealExtreme worth getting? I'm mostly asking because I want one and I'm placing an order with them, but if it's not worth it over the amazon/ebay ones, I won't do it. Edit: Looks like there's a G1W on there (http://dx.com/p/blackview-g1w-hd-1080p-2-7-tft-wide-angle-car-dvr-w-ir-night-vision-mini-hdmi-brown-black-219935), but I don't know if it's the same.

Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with that. He stayed in the lane until it forced him to merge, then he merged.

Will the Mobius lock files if impact is detected? I really like it's feature set, but I feel like that's a must have because I'm concerned I might forget to stop the camera if something like that happens.

Will the mobius definitely not work with >32GB cards? I bought one on eBay today, and picked up a couple of sandisk class 10 64GB cards a couple of weeks ago. It's not the end of the world if they won't work, but I was liking the idea of having a ton of storage.

The Locator posted:If you watch the beginning, you'll see I am pulling over after passing a completely different large pickup truck. The Chevy started his lane change (I saw him perfectly fine in my mirror, thank you) when I was about exactly splitting the lanes. You can clearly hear my turn-signal in the video starting before I began my lane change, so yea. gently caress off. Second, arguments about who started the lane change first, etc, are really moot in the face of this: You willfully pulled out in front of a vehicle going much faster than you. You're not the speed police (which I guess is just the regular police, but still). Don't cause an accident because "you're right". You're just opening yourself up to "also being injured", which being "right" is not worth. The Locator posted:I-10 west of Phoenix. I was doing about 80, and I was getting over because the next exit was mine, not because those guys in the left lane were going slow (they were probably doing just over 75).

Coredump posted:Answer the question. Yes or no do you see the truck in the right lane. Because you're saying that the right lane is wide open depends on that. But heck, lets go with your version of events. So you're saying the Equinox can't accelerate that fast right? Okay I'm with you so far. That would mean that The Locator was moving into the right lane, out of the way of the faster approaching vehicle as soon as he had a chance? Which is exactly what you're supposed to do? Right? Pulling out into the only gap a faster moving vehicle could possibly choose is just as dangerous as pulling into the lane it's already occupying. (If not more dangerous, because now two drivers are changing lanes, something they're generally pretty bad at doing safely.) The equinox driver should've braked (or, frankly, slowed the hell down in general), but the guy who posted the video did something pretty dumb too.

If this is the case wouldn't the Equinox have no where to go and need to get on the brakes anyways? Plus The Locator said earlier he began his lane change BEFORE the Equinox did. As in he was getting out of the way of the faster vehicle. At this point its time to start peeing in the well. It was wide open, after he passed the Dodge. Your other arguments are similarly limited in vision.

Kind of a weak start, but I finally got my dashcam setup in one vehicle - have to mount on in the other, but now that I've made the mounts, that part is easy. Only decent clip today was some ingenious maneuvering in order to make their exit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6DyNFcRjA8 (Personally, I've always been more the "keep going and circle back" type.) Also, jeep drivetrain vibrations have HILARIOUS effects on video output.

I'm happy and done though, except I just need to figure out a way to keep the wires in place along the side and the headliner!

I agree, Sagebrush. You're always going to be able to construct some scenario to justify, in some sense, statements like "it depends on the road" (and whether or not there's a guy jumping off an overpass to commit suicide, or a kid playing in traffic, or fallout-esque armageddon scenarios, or ...), but it's extremely short-sighted to try to use that to justify a general case, or, for example, "that caravan was totally in the wrong because there's nothing I could've done because of the road, man". Cartoon could've stood on the brakes as soon as he saw it - or poo poo, tickled them a little, he didn't have to stand on them - and that whole thing would've been a non-issue. It certainly wasn't worth posting, and it pretty clearly shows poor decision making and driving skills. Not to mention a pretty serious anger problem.

totalnewbie posted:Part of "stunned" but normal people easily take a few seconds to just sit and process what happened, look at the injured people, assess whether or not they need help, etc. "Non-normal" people don't take this long. The times in recent memory I've seen a serious accident, I had evaluated the situation and begun running toward it before the car(s) stopped rolling. It's something that different people handle markedly differently, and if one were to have one perspective, look at (and to some extent, fail to understand) the other, it can be remarkable. Not saying either is right or wrong, certainly not trying to toot my own horn, but it is something I've observed through my own experience. I had the same thought as him a long time ago, and simply evaluated it as "Oh yeah, not everyone is like this".

That's a point that comes up frequently with this, but you need to bear in mind: If you're recording audio, you always have the option of deleting the audio before attempting to submit as evidence. If you're not recording audio, you don't have the option of adding it back. There are certainly conversations you could record that you would need/want to remove, but there are more often conversations (or auditory events) that you would want to capture - yourself reading a license plate number, screeching tires, etc. I cannot imagine a scenario where a cop, however, is going to go "Wait, you're recording audio? DID YOU GET CONSENT?". It's a question that gets asked when something is submitted into evidence in court, not something that traffic officers concern themselves with. wolrah posted:One could imagine an overzealous prosecutor or opposing lawyer finding this out and accusing you of tampering with the evidence, which would be technically correct.

nm posted:In California, I would actually worry about the admissibility of video with audio without the posted notices required by the vehicle code. My gut (having not done any real research) says it would probably get in, with the audio stripped but why take a chance? California has very strict wiretapping laws, which I would argue are even stronger re: dashcams, and both criminal prosecution (which won't happen unless a passenger complains) and suppression are remedies.
