Top comments mentioning products on r/Roadcam:

u/random12356622 · 2 pointsr/Roadcam

There are two types of parking modes: Excellent and Lackluster. Excellent parking mode is: Automatically engaged/disengaged when parked, Buffered - able to record a few seconds before motion sensor/g sensor is activated and after, and has built in low voltage cut off feature (Voltage/Timer based) adjustable.

Lackluster is missing one or more of these features.

  • When spending over (150 USD), I would expect - Excellent build quality, Excellent parking mode, Good/Fair video quality dash cameras only. Veteran dash cam buyers spend the big bucks, and Build quality/Parking mode very important, video quality only matters to Good enough.

  • Below ($150 USD) exists - Excellent video quality, Lackluster/No parking mode, Fair/Poor build quality dash cameras. These are geared toward 1st time dash cam buyers, that are price conscious, and value video quality. These buyers have yet to realize Build quality is supreme, and parking mode is very important because most are not in vehicle 90% of the time. They over value video quality because they think it will capture plates better, but this expectation is wrong. Expectation should be, read the plate out loud, and record it via audio, also write it down, and call the police. If your vehicle is in good working order, follow the driver at a safe distance/speed. Plates do not always catch criminals, but damage to your car isn't worth yours or someone else's life.

  • Thinkware F50 1-CH ($89.99 USD) - Fair video quality, Excellent build quality, Excellent parking mode. - Lacks a Wifi/cell phone app, but format free technology helps and reliability is top notch. - 1080P @ 30 FPS - There is a coupon code for this one in the video description. Discount Code: blackboxmycarf50 to get $10 off from BlackboxMyCar.com - Minor flaws with the Thinkware F50, G sensor can be lowered, but not disabled, and at the low setting is too sensitive for some. Firmware updates might fix this, but it is unknown to me at this time. Vehicles with rough rides will trigger the event recording and lock files continually, eventually filling the Micro SD card.

    There is a huge amount of buyers remorse in dash cams. What I can say is fully research the dash cams you want, and the dash cams you don't, so at least you understand your decisions. Picking Excellent build quality, Excellent parking mode, and good/fair video quality dash cams is a lot less hassle, above I listed only Excellent build quality, Excellent parking mode, good/Fair video quality dash cams, but there are Excellent video quality, Fair/poor build quality, lackluster parking mode dash cams out there that is worth knowing about. Anyways good luck in your decisions.

    Edit: Prices change rapidly in the dash cam market, however, the copy pasta does not. I have seen prices rise rapidly, and fall just as fast, for no apparent reason, even as newer models have been released.

    A note for Micro SD Cards: Sandisk Ultra is not made for Dashcams.

    What is recommended for dash cams: Transcend High Endurance, or any MLC card.

I had the first generation of the Vantrue N1, it seems like they have released a newer one here

For the price / quality it is very good. Crystal clear day and night recording in 1080p full HD, has a bunch of features like parking mode, g sensor etc... and it is small and discrete but built really well. I would highly recommend it and their support is helpful too.

Edit: also make sure to use a good quality class micro SD card.

u/Why_Is_This_NSFW · 2 pointsr/Roadcam

It's actually kinda funny because my dad has an Aliner, super light weight popup camper and also has a rare Saab 9-5 Griffin. He got a tow hitch installed on the Saab and the Aliner has power assisted braking, so the Saab will tow it no problem. But he wanted something more substantial with 4WD because he likes to take the camper out west, and South Dakota mud during heavy rains are no joke.

The camper is only like 1100Lbs, super light, the F150 tows that think as if it was just a Tonka truck. You would never even know it's back there unless you looked in the rearview mirror, haha.

He had this weird system of using these flags on telescoping poles to help him back into the trailer to hook it up, which is when I said screw that and installed a new head unit for him with a little screen and the backup camera. It's super easy to hook up the trailer now. Plus, now he has bluetooth without some stupid cigarette adapter FM modulator doobie.

EDIT: Stereo is this or similar, backup camera is this guy

u/nice_handbasket · 6 pointsr/Roadcam

Well, before doing that I think getting some decent lights and reflectors would be a good plan. It's not even expensive these days.

Outrageous the colliding driver didn't see the cyclist, on a straight road, but that is independent from the fact it's pretty easy these days to be much more eye-catching on a bicycle.

Drives me crazy how many people have actually removed the reflectors from their bikes, and think their little coin-cell blinky is doing anything significant. Even this pair of rechargeable lights for $13 are way more eye-catching than what you have in this video. I have a few of them, find them excellent be-seen lights, though for me they're a backup for a better pair of primary of lights.

When it comes to reflectors - focus on the moving parts. Reflective tape on pedal cranks is a good one, and of course pedal reflectors and reflective ankle wraps do well too.

u/NB_FF · 5 pointsr/Roadcam

I'm a personal fan of the Vico-Marcus 3, but I've heard good things about the A119, and the G1W (or the G1WC)

Get something in your price range, and make sure it has the features you want. Do you want GPS? Ultra-high-res/FPS? Amazing night-time sensors? Automatic crash detection with saving?

Take a look at https://dashcamtalk.com/ for more info about pretty much any dashcam you want.

u/MannekenP · 4 pointsr/Roadcam

Front one is a RAGU 1080p HD DVR dashcam, a very nice cam, 170°, bought one for my wife and daughter as well. I had a little issue with some menu that was showing up on the pictures, but the problem was solved with a little update of the OS (seller was very helpfull).

Rearcam was my first cam that I moved to the back. Very cheap, about 30 dollars, from a chinese seller, can't seem to be able to find him back. It looks like this one and this one.
Now for the setup: they are both independant cameras and they are both powered by the power plug of the rear of the car. If something interesting happens, I can save on the front one, not on the rear one (it is too far, I can't clic on the "save" button), but with the 32 Gb card, there is enough room for about 4 hours of recording so no risk to lose the file, I just have to take the rear cam with me when I get home and save the file on my computer.

u/Peylix · 1 pointr/Roadcam

Blackvue DR650GW 2-Channel - $400 though (pricey)

Blackvue DR550GW 2-Channel - $300 (still pricey)

Both those are two most recommended 2-channel systems right now that have the most positive feedback.

There is a more budget 2-channel called the BlackSys CF-100 - going for $90 right now.

Also, check out Dashcamtalk. They have a lot of info that you can read up on. Included the pros and cons to all 3 systems I linked. Lot's of great info there and in their forums.

Hope this helps.

u/Qlanger · 2 pointsr/Roadcam

No; regular ones are made for light usage and not as durable to heat.

High endurance gives up a little performance but can handle more writing and heat better. This is a good one...

u/Silverhawk1991 · 2 pointsr/Roadcam

Interesting, I'm using the hardwire kit directly into my fusebox with the V1LG. Might just be a Rexing thing after all. And thanks! My first submission after having this for a few months.

u/lildobe · 2 pointsr/Roadcam

I'm late to the party, but I always reccomend this card for dashcams:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V5Q1K3O

I've got them in both of my cameras, and one of them runs 24/7, and I haven't had a problem in over a year now.

u/xStigga007x · 7 pointsr/Roadcam

I wasn't certain if we made contact or not.

Just in case, I wanted to pull over to make sure.

Dashcam is a Rexing V1LG.

u/nsgiad · 2 pointsr/Roadcam

The seller seems legit and it's fulfilled by amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Black-Box-G1W-C-Capacitor-Dashboard/dp/B00MIO2KRC

Is there a quick way to see if it's a fake or not? I thought all these cameras were from china to begin with?

Horn + Battery + Switch = Horn on Bike

Hell, you could fit all that into cargo pants and be a pedestrian honking at cars.

Or on kickstarter.
