Apparently the 2015 Corvette will have the first factory dashcam in a car. I'm surprised it took this long. You'd think that with many cars having rear bumper cams and LCD displays already that a factory dashcam option would be more common by now.

@ 9 seconds in, there's a truck with its hazards on in the opposite lane. The car behind it decides that it's best to try to pass by driving around it, nevermind the oncoming traffic (i.e. me). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA1cJ6RSmhE

Pfox posted:After experiencing a second hit and run in a parking lot, I'm interested in getting a dashcam. Does anyone know if there are cameras that automatically turn on when they sense an impact? I've got this camera, which has an accelerometer and battery in it. If the accelerometer detects the car being bumped/moved when the car's turned off, it'll turn on the camera and start recording. The accelerometer also detects when you accelerate/brake/swerve outside normal parameters while recording and saves the recordings when those events happen to a reserved portion of the SD card, to prevent it from being overwritten.

You really need to mount the camera right near your windshield. In the current location the windshield is blocking a lot of the view, and showing a lot of the interior of the car instead of the exterior (which is what I assume you're more interested in recording.)

Zero VGS posted:EBay has piles of Galaxy S3 phones and similar with bad ESN and cracked screen for like $50 shipped, is there any reason those wouldn't be a good value as a dashcam? 1. No auto-overwrite or autostart for recording 2. Cell phone cameras have a smaller FOV than dashcams. 3. Recording will run down the battery and you'll have to remember to take it out and recharge it unless you get a dash-mount charger. But at that point, why not spend the money on a cheap dashcam instead of the inferior jerry-rigged broken cellphone/dash mount charger option?

The problem with that is the best location for a dashcam is usually up high where it has a better view and the best location for a GPS is down lower so you can press the touchscreen without reaching up.

Bovril Delight posted:A couple that I picked up recently, nothing too crazy. I love me some horn apparently. In the first video yeah if the other guy was a either a little faster or a little slower it would have been nice, but poor yielding like that from other drivers is literally an everyday occurrence. In the second video, the SUV didn't signal, but also you were passing him on the right and changing lanes right into his blind spot. You should have seen that it was a possibility that he might change lanes. There was nobody in the rightmost lane in front of you, so why change lanes into a lane where he might go?

Yeah I saw the right lane becomes a right exit, but that's a good 20 seconds down the road. You didn't have to switch lanes right where you did. Another 2-3 seconds in the same lane would have put you past the SUV. I pass all the time on the right too, but when doing so, you have to be extra careful and anticipate what other inattentive drivers will do, because that's not where they're expecting someone to pass.

DropShadow posted:This annoys me to no end. Here in Minneapolis, there are a lot of double turn lanes and the majority of people always choose the inside lane, even if their next turn is immediately after the intersection in the "other" lane, so then they try to fight to get across traffic, when they could have just turned from the correct lane to begin with. I can't tell you how many times I've almost hit or been hit by someone doing this. Why is it so hard for people to plan their route more than one turn at a time? It's most likely they're not thinking at all, but there are other possibilities. "Sure, the sign says two lanes turn, but will they really? Better get in the inside lane to make sure." or "The sign says two lanes turn, but some dumbass in the inside lane is going to want to go straight, not realize both lanes turn, change lanes and then run into me in the outside lane because he thinks my lane doesn't turn. Better get in the inside lane to make sure."

LloydDobler posted:I hate when cops are condescending. I rolled a stop sign to turn right in a deserted residential neighborhood one morning only to find a cop parked half a block down the way I was going. He flagged me down and shouted "WHAT DOES THAT SIGN SAY?" So of course I reply "Stop" "AND WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO?" "Stop". Then he just waved me on.

FogHelmut posted:I'm going to be doing a cross country trip around the week of Labor Day. My route has me on the road for about 60 hours. I think it would be neat to do a time lapse, is this something a dash cam could handle? Not all in one go. If the SD card in your camera is big enough, you might be able to copy off the files to a laptop each day, and not miss anything.

The Locator posted:I could see how the driver of the camera car could be held at fault, as by law you must not enter an intersection if it's not clear, and as you noted, this was from a red light and the van was easily observable coming into the intersection. At 0:05 when the light changes, the intersection is clear. Both the camera car and the van enter the intersection at the same time.

And then one in normal text on the rear bumper for when I inevitably have to pass on the right, because people who camp in the left lane tend to also not look at their mirrors.

MikeyTsi posted:Has anyone seen/experienced anything RE: Pioneer's dashcam? What's the point of a dashcam with an integral screen? Pretty much everybody has a smartphone now. Just put wifi on the camera, connect your phone to the camera over wifi and watch the video on your phone. The camera will be lower profile and easier to mount, the screen will be easier to view, and I'm guessing a wifi chip and antenna is less expensive than an LCD screen.

Most dashcams seem to have GPS capabilities for displaying the lat/long. Why would they not just grab the time from the GPS signal to update the clock?

Neither of those other drivers were in the right. However, it's highly likely that cars entering the freeway will want to change lanes and get out of the rightmost lane, and so you could have avoided the problem in the first clip by anticipating that and either slowing down or changing lanes, even before the entering car turned on his turn signal. In clip number two you drove in the other car's blind spot for awhile and he may not have seen you, and assumed you were someplace else. He should have checked better and have seen you, but you could have also either sped up or slowed down to not be in his blind spot.

I've got a midrange 2-channel Blackvue and I'd recommend it. Parking mode with only recording motion, and a 128 GB SD card means I get quite a lot of video captured before old video gets overwritten. The only problem is that video transfer over wifi is pretty slow, so you pretty much need to remove the SD card and put it in a PC to view videos.
