anyone use a dash cam?

[VeloNYC]

Using one for years but it is battery powered one. Mostly was using to analyze my and other drivers behavior. Recently someone rammed into me very hard on a parking lot while my car was parked (first accident in 16 years and 2 yr old car) but party took the guilt 100% and dash cam vid just served as an evidence jik.

Sounds like its maybe time for car makers to start making these dash cams an option when buying a car. Something that's built in so no wires and mounting hardware.

Two bogus traffic stops is not unbelievable to me. I get stopped for BS all the time! When they see I am a 50 yr old white guy, in a nice car, it's all good! I bet if I was a young guy or minority, things would be different.

Currently using a Blackvue dr550gw-2ch in 2 of my vehicles, comes with 1 front camera and a rear camera. On the Super Bee, it has been in use for about 2 years and still running great. On the SUV, its been running for a year and going great. I have it hardwired to the car so everything is nicely tucked in and clean install. This also records when the car is in park and I am away from the vehicle.

Also using a BlackVue here, the DR650GW-2CH. Get a dashcam that utilizes a capacitor instead of a battery to retain its internal memory.
Batteries don't seems to last long in an enclosed vehicle during the summer heat. Temps can get up to 110-120 degrees up near the windshield.

I just ordered the Thinkware F770. Great reviews, everywhere. Got it for front and back views, with hardwire kit. I liked the stealth size, and wifi option with the phone. Should be here by Friday.........

Got a blackvue 650 2CH HD... with the power manager hard wired.. (so it records after stopping for a period but can't flat the battery).
It was exe but it has been perfect for over a year front and rear, recorded few incidents to date to insurance or the police..

For the missus I got her a mini 806.. also excellent.. just straight hard wired to an IGN on fuse.. this has lso not missed a beat..
Both of these I have mounted right at the top of the screen using polycarb angle shims to ensure the correct orientation (due to curvature in the glass the further off center you mount the more you have to correct the camera to be forward and square.. )

How is the picture quality when using with a laminated windshield?

Its only a 100 dollars. Set it and forget it bro. Great value.

This is the one I have. Works really well.

Post your findings I'm thinking about the 770 as well.
