Just wondering which in car camera I need to be buying.

My technical knowledge on stuff like this is a big girlie zero!

Any recommendations would be great.

Thanks

I bought a blackvue 380 on disco3 group buy but given that to my son and got a 500 now again on group buy

They are neat and have map with video for evidence

Not sure if the best though - having some issues

Blackvue 550 would be my choice if I buy again, front and rear cameras as I keep finding the knobs are driving behind me and been missed by my front camera

Oh god they sound complicated.... running cables through headlining.????
I have all on to re wire a 3 pin plug.

I have the Blackvue DR500 HD and it produces great images.

One slight blot on the horizon is that just lately it takes almost 15 minutes before it gets a GPS fix and computes a speed record - this is only on the first trip of the day; after that it gets a fix within a few minutes.

Thinking it might be a dicky condenser battery I contacted Pittasoft this is the amusing (but useless) reply...

"Dear Customer,
It is not possible it can be seen separately from the backup battery performance of the customer.
I am sorry.
Please contact the dealer from whom you purchased if there is a problem.
If there is other inquiries
Please do not hesitate to contact us at as@pittasoft.com.

How long does yours take to first get its GPS fix ?

Poor Ady !!!!

Im confused which power supply i will need and which product bundle.

I have a road hawk forward facing camera, had it for 2 years, comes with plug in power supply, but can also buy a hard wired loom, very easy to fit, comes with 4gig memory card which lasts me about 3 days before it over writes itself. Very easy to view back on a PC, think it cost £200 then, but I know they have brought new ones out which are HD

Foxy, i think Bodsy supplies and fits these Blackvue camera systems. Send him a pm.

I don't like them. Why do I want a spy in my car filming my driving? Most of the time it would be me speeding anyway. Don't any of you ever have a bit of a blast on the road? Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

^^^ I have the speed recording feature turned off in my Blackvue 500 settings. Not that I ever go over the limit but just to increase recording time by reducing data

I have the Blackvue 500, good bit of kit.

I have mine because when someone hits my car they will lie and try to say its my fault - been there and making damn sure I have evidence to defend myself next time  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW
