Did you see it on the Gadget Show? It was simply amazing, auto rec on impact or heavy breaking, rec's the level of impact (Ideal for any whiplash claim:yum and had good video qualtiy.
And I love my gadgets, another thing in the car worth almost as much as it. I'm justwondering how long it will be before they're forsale on eBay.

how much and where from?
did you go for the one camera on the 2 way camera?
so you can review what face you pulled before the crash
does it replace the original rear view?

Tempting as extra cameras can be added, so I can stick one to catch anyone going into the back of me after dangerously tailgating:devil:.

Interesting vid, as the guy is driving along, to the left of him are some large triangular structures, the road markings indicate that the lane he is in is intended for vehicles turning left. I wonder if he showed that vid to his insurance whilst telling them how the other guy was/is at fault.
Also got to bear in mind that the car is visible 3 seconds before impact - so why didn't the driver take evasive action? Maybe he was speeding? The video will certainly prove or disprove that theory (as a junction was looming, why didn't he slow down?).

Yes, its one thing people might have to be careful of, the vid could do them more harm than good so to speak.
then again SD cards are easier to "loose"

Yeah defo keep us updated. Even though you get that two second gap it doesn't seem bad - as long as the quality is there.
i'll let you know when i find my instruction book
the quality seems fine but i'll need to buy a card reader to put them up on the net for all to see
and its a 20 second clip and a 2 second pause

Thats really good. Is the 2.51 clip on your youtube with the same unit? Think I'll get one? It does a continuous loop doesn't it?

That's what attracts me to it. FIFO loop, motion detect recording and the quality seems to be there. What's it like at night?
MEP are you referring to this clip?
that is my little media player/recorder which eats a 2 gb card in 1 1/2 hours
then stops
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=222512&criteria=dvr&doy=31m5
I haven't tried it at night yet went out to the pub last night
the camera i used cost £24 i'll go grab a couple of snaps

the camera i bought was a PH86T in the Maplin catalog However its not listed on the website which takes a 12v feed although i run it through a regulated power adaptor to protect it from start surges and the like,.
it required a bit of butchering with the Dremel to make it fit
but apart from that its fine i didn't want it to be obvious i have a camera as no doubt some scrote would break in to nick itjust need to have a basic understanding of electronics and soldering and your away as you need to common the -ative with the ground of the phono plug to make it work..
to power my DVR it uses 5Vdc i used a PSP in car addaptor which to my luck the jack fitted perfectly...
