Anyone got a decent, good quality dash cam they can recommend?

It's for old aged father in law so doesn't need to be all singing all dancing.

Cheers

The Mini 0804/0805 are my fave, but they are bit more expensive.

I've been using this for a while in my work van, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351556280547?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT has a rear camera although it's not as good as the front camera its not too bad tbh

That ones sold out but I'm sure there will be ones around the same price on ebay. I also bought a 32GB micro sd card off ebuyer so can record around for 5 hours, I'd recommend a good quality card and nothing over 32GB

Use this in the works van wide angle lens great day or night about the size of a tic tac box (thicker obviously) light weight only downside is you may have to buy the extras off ebay I bought a 3 meter charging cable window mount and on the go charging lead but it came to less than £15 including shipping from hong kong http://eu.banggood.com/Wholesale-Warehouse-Mobius-New-Version-Wide-Angle-Lens-C2-1080P-HD-Mini-Action-Camera-wp-Uk-985644.html

Edit: Requires SD card too, but they do sell them as a whole package, mount/cables SD card.

Why nothing over a 32gb? Got a 64gb in mine.

Can you get dash cams that run on internal power, like batteries, rather than wired in?

I've just changed my camera to a NEXTBASE 202Lite, for the money I'm more than happy with it

Most of them have a battery, it just doesn't last very long!

The one I posted you can buy a bigger battery for it so it runs without having to charge it, mine runs for a while without having it on charge too.

The Mobius also has a motion detection option for when its parked up.

Hopefully these links have worked, this is the dashboard where you can adjust the settings to suit your needs, didn't screenshot all of them, as you can see there are different modes.

If I was buying another I'd get the Mobius and swap the battery for a supercap(generally available from the same seller).

I love my mini 0801 but they are not know for being that reliable, thankfully mine has done 25 months so far.

Why don't you just hard wire it in, rather than plugging it into the 12v everytime, then at least you can hide the wiring?

You can buy kit that let you hardwire it off Amazon for something like a tenner. Comes with all the kit and no need to butcher the original wire for the camera.

Wired mine into the power supply that goes to the wiper sensor. Dead easy
