Can't fault my Nextbase 512... plus many insurers now offer discounts if you have a Nextbase camera fitted.what is this life, if full of care?
we have no time to stand and stare.

Use the Ddpai in the rear good as the blackvue in the front

Just a snide comment on garmin - your definition of lifetime might not be their definition of lifetime. Tomtom recently off a lot of their users with the same.
Yup, my perfectly functioning and not quite ten year old TomTom has just been rendered obsolete by TomTom decreeing they will no longer support it...
Nothing wrong with it at all.
Majorly pee'd off and won't be buying another....

Same here with the TomTom app, no more updates and doesn't work with latest iOS. But now use GoogMaps so would be obsolete anyway.

Hi DSL,
Is the quality of these clips a true representation of the playback quality?
Just asking because when you pass that transit I can't read the number plate on the clip.

It looses a bit of resolution when put on YouTube cf on the laptop. I was looking at a section of footage on M25 and could read all the numbers of vehicles passing me. Prob degraded a bit loading it. Best see what others say as well, I haven’t played around with it that much.
PS I just looked again at that M25 clip & couldn’t see the Rev on that minibus, pretty sure I could read the plates & livery on that via the LT.

Iggy is a bit of an expert on dash cam and had experience of using them in anger.

Halfrauds 312GW "Limited Edition" bundle is a good buy .. despite going up £10 in last couple of days I think …. you get the anti-glare lens and SD card and pouch for just £20 over base dashcam. lens alone is £20 !

Plus 1 for the Nextbase 512. Really good quality.
However I have mine in the Defender and I have to turn the G sensor off or it saves everything!

When I've been out in the Defender my Garmin sports watch thing thinks I've ran about 40 miles Cheers Ian

Another vote for Nextbase here. Had a 312 in both the Disco and the car, pretty pleased with them. The other week I took advantage of Halfords offer on the 512GW, along with their 'Easter special' of half-price (£15) fitting, and had a 512GW fitted into both my mum's and my partner's car.
Got home, swapped them all around so that I now have the 512GWs in my vehicles and the 312s in the others. (I do a whole load more mileage than they do, to be fair!!)
Wouldn't normally let a Halfords fitter loose on a car of mine - but the £15 (normally £30) fitting price includes both the hard-wire kit and the labour to fit it ... and you can't go far wrong with running a cable under some trim and piggy-backing off a fuse in the fusebox! Well, I suppose you can if you really try! But to be fair they did a nice neat job (I checked it to make sure when I got home).
