Thanks muddy. Camera size and the need to fit it below the rear view mirror as opposed to behind it are a bit off putting for me. I uploaded UK speed camera POIs to the sat nav and while it only alerts me when it may already be a bit late, I am not too bothered. I have a Road Angel too which I really should sell as I haven't used it even once in the 8 months that I've had this car. Either the adaptive cruise and ASL have restrained me or I'm getting old and breaking the law isn't as much fun as it once used to be. Looks like I will go for another BV albeit a 2 channel model if this one gives up the ghost. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

as said i ordered the f750 on sunday, via amazon and amazingly it got delivered yesterday on standard free delivery not the Prime service Shocked

I got round to installing yesterday, place centrally just below the rear view mirror, in that position it is quite visible for scripts to help themselves, but i wanted to give the lane departure warnings ago myself.

Installation was easy, i already had a blackvue power magic installed, so i just kept them in place to power the rosen headrest screens, and tapped in to the switched live and perm live before the blackvue, that way the F750 controls its owner battery power saving modes without the blackvue interfering.

First drive, a quick blast from home, onto the motorway and back, the lane departure warnings worked, the collision warnings worked, when closing in on a lorry and the mobile speed camera zone warnings worked too

viewing the footage, the video is a lot better than the blackvue, very clear and even with the setting sun visible

now to route the rear camera to the rear screen Thumbs Up

i'm going to pull the 64gb card out of the camera on my quadcopter as thats in pieces for the last year..... wasted £900 on that Embarassed

So im happy, the 32gb will go in my SJ4000 (gopro knockoff) so im happy, well i would be if i hadn't just installed all the cable for the rear camera to find it 3ft too long, and no where to store it at the front, so i pulled it out and had the 3ft extra at the back, to then fix the camera to the rear screen, only to find it upside down Evil or Very Mad

Make sure you get the correct SD card for these cameras, some have reported buying the cheaper SD cards, effects the quality of the recordings. Do a search to see which is suitable for these HD quality cameras. Wink

I have K1S (Dual camera, remote unit) and whilst that is an excellent device, find that if I use inferior mem cards, not class 10, that it is constantly dropping out with a message saying that the card is not up to it! With the best card, its fine.

I always research the write speed of memory cards, as they can vary quite a bit from brand to brand

got some super fast ones for my Nikon DSLR and the burst mode doubled over what i used to have
