Well it was in 720 res so I am guessing not but it's a good thought....anyhow camera is on it's way back to Guernsey !, even if it was how would you account for everything being ok 5 mins either side of the missing 5 mins

My replacement returned last Friday and I'm well pleased works much better than I expected.
Funny thing though... I was very proud of my neat skill at fitting the camera just below the rear view mirror. I fed the USB cable up inside the roof lining, down the passenger A pillar and behind the glovebox on it's way to the spare power outlet with the 5v adaptor in it. All looked fine until this morning on my way to work... The DAB radio kept loosing signal and I noticed that my GPS speed camera detector couldn't see the satellites any more! If I unplugged the USB cable from the camera then everything returned to normal - DAB and Satellites all returned? It was as if the USB/Camera was blocking digital signals from entering the car... in a sort of Faraday cage sort of way?
If I connect the camera without hiding the cable then everything is fine... just weird?

I'm still waiting on mine being delivered after they said it was sent on the 13th will contact them tomorrow
Got message yesterday that my replacement is on it's way - last week there have been a couple of moments when it could have been invaluable,luckily nothing too serious thankfully.
Ron that don't sound good ... Usually 5 working days is the norm

Ordered mine last Wed, arrived 2 days later. Very pleased with the quality. Fitted mine neatly behind the rear view mirror, bought 3m large to small usb cable (£1.75) which I ran under the roof lining and down the OS A pillar, to the back of the drivers knee board panel. Bought a twin lighter socket, snipped off the lighter plug, and using scotch block connectors wired it in to the aux socket feed. The twin socket is hidden behind the knee board with the camera plugged into one side and my phone charger into the other. Easy 30 min install, no wires showing.

Is everyone using the supplied bracket? Has I think it's a tad to big (long) and hangs to low down the screen. I've been looking at smaller brackets on flea bay and wondered if anyone had used a different bracket. Also how are you fitting the camera using the supplied bracket on the rear window?

These look really good value.
Could anyone tell me the field of view from the camera when mounted by the rear view juror. Or better still, post a screenshot image.
Thanks
EDIT:
Doh, ignore that. Just seen Flack's gallery shot. Looks like it's wide enough especially if it's zoomed in a bit on that shot.
120 degree if I recall correctly ......
There is a picture in Flacks gallery (page 1 of this thread )

Mine arrived today so looking forward to playing around with it over the weekend.
Smaller then it looks online which is a good thing, but I agree with lad the bracket is a bit big.
Lad did you find any other kind of bracket to use?

Been playing around with mine today, for the money its very good.
I have ordered a longer lead to attach around the head lining, what I cant work out is how to get the lead from the bottom of the A piller(top of Dash, glove box side) to the lighter socket. Can someone let me know what they have done or even post some photo's
Replacement arrived today - I was only requested to return the camera but got the full kit as a replacement , that gives me the mount for the rear if I want to run a rear camera or indeed use a digital camcorder
There always is a but however .... Date & time stamp in low res still not showing,one of the reasons for returning it
