Scruff McGruff posted:I've seen quite a lot that use the same mount bracket the G1W uses, but there's definitely not an agreed upon standard as far as I can tell. If it has a screwthread, then it's probably a standard tripod screw, so I suppose there is some commonality there

Gothmog1065 posted:Thanks for that. It seems it's either that or the G1W, are there any other alternative cameras that are good? Price isn't a huge factor at this point, going to be using the money from the wreck to buy the new dash cam.

smax posted:I've had good luck with Mobius cameras in the Texas heat (the slightly older ones, not the Mobius 2). One battery failed so I had to put a supercapacitor in, but that was a less than $10 fix. One of the reasons I like my Mobius, apart from its reliability, is that you can can change all the settings by using easy-to-use software on your PC.

Metal Geir Skogul posted:I THOUGHT WIFI CONNECTED TO AN AP AND UPLOADED VIDEO I suppose it is theoretically possible that if you had a wifi AP in your garage and you added an always-on feed to your camera, it would be possible to do this (32GB takes 1.5hrs over a good wifi connection) You'd end up with terabytes of your commute filling up your home PC though.

ratbert90 posted:Huh, I have a ton of experience with streaming multimedia and product building. If you could make it so that if you press a button on the dashcam and it posts the last 30seconds straight to Facebook/Twitter along with an emoji, then i would probably invest in your company with my life savings.

Platystemon posted:In a world where maps don’t exist. If we all say that you are right, will your humour us and let us get the free advice from the actual lawyer with experience in this specific field? On an entirely unrelated note: nm, will you share some of your many personal anecdotes about people who represented themselves in court, insisted that they knew more than the lawyer or the judge and turned a $15 parking ticket into 10 years on Riker's Island?

nm posted:I was representing him for allegedly stabbing a man with a fork. I think that case just kinda disappeared after the confession. So technically, you won and can claim it as a victory. Related note: I've discovered that in the UK, you can report someone to the police if you have a dashcam video of a traffic offence and they even have an online form to upload it. https://www.cheshire.police.uk/advice-and-support/roads-and-vehicle-safety/submit-dashcam-footage/ The only silliness is that you have to keep the original memory card with the video on it and not overwrite it, but apart from that, it seems a very sensible idea.

nm posted:Probably depends on the person, but i talk so much poo poo it probably would get me in trouble. I bought a dashcam to record my final moments, so I think I'd like it to record my last words, too. Augustus Caesar, first Roman emperor: "I found Rome of clay; I leave it to you of marble." Leonardo da Vinci, inventor and painter: "I have offended God and mankind because my work did not reach the quality it should have." Ludwig van Beethoven, composer and pianist: "Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est" (Applaud, friends, the comedy is finished) Spog, moron and shitposter: "Jesus, titty-loving Christ!"

I love this place: you enjoy the poop jokes and then you learn something that is both interesting and potentially lifesaving. I knew that cameras mounted to helmet were considered A Bad Thing after the Schumacher accident: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/m...d-injuries.html But at the time, the worry was that they were concentrating the impact. It never crossed my mind that they could dig and and snap your head round. That's scary as gently caress.

About a year ago, feeling evangelical because of this thread, I convinced a coworker to install a dashcam on their car (and I helped set it up for them) Last month, someone cut her up whilst texting and gave them the finger when the horn was used. All this was clearly caught on the dashcam. Well, in our region, you can submit dashcam footage online and complain to the police. So they did. Yesterday, they got a letter informing them that the driver had been prosecuted for using a mobile phone and fined £200 and given 6 penalty points (that's half their license gone) Very satisfying.

I believe the recording format is incompatible with it, though it just crashes, rather than giving a helpful error message.

Chicken Doodle posted:I'm hoping you guys can help as I'm looking for something particular in a dash cam. All the ones I could find recommended in this thread are attached by suction cups to the windshield, but my car is like teflon and nothing with suction cups sticks to it. My current camera has a kind of mount that is stuck with sticky backing to the windshield, and I can remove my camera from that dock when not in use. I'm looking for something similar. Any one that uses a screw-in tripod mount will happily work with a 'car windshield tape mount': Like my mobius, for example

Krispy Wafer posted:My Mobius dashcam is great except it can’t read license plates worth a drat. Are there any dash cams with good enough picture quality to pull plate numbers? Despite mine being older than this thread, it seems to pull UK plates off pretty darn good. Maybe something is wrong with yours? Post a sample video.

Lord Stimperor posted:Do you guys feel that your driving changed after getting a cam? If I see dash cam vids on YouTube, I often have the feeling that cam drivers are much more aggressive and even let accidents happen rather than, say, make room for someone who did something wrong If anything, I am marginally calmer after witnessing something stupid or dangerous. There is no reason to shake my fists in impotent rage...I've got it on camera.

Lord Stimperor posted:Thanks for your input. I guess looking at Dashcams on YouTube just gives you a really biased sample, of people who're narcissistic enough to seek out dangerous situations for internet points. I'd say that the dashcam assholes you are seeing are simply the people who, without cameras, would be winding down their windows and hurling abuse at people 2-3 times per week. If you get a cam, you get excited for the first 2-3 weeks and it rapidly dwindles once you realise how mundane your daily drive is. I forget I have one most of the time.
