Silly question but have you removed the protective cover off of the lens? This will cause those focusing issues you seem to be having

That's where it's placed now, as far up as possible behind the mirror.
Settings certain on 720p - Switched it from 1080p to 720 as, as you know it's only some kind of scaling that makes it the 1080.

Absolutely I'm not a complete idiot. No I hadn't. There was no film on the lens, but was on the IR sensors?

How is this a "dangerous junction"? Look on google streetview & even with the leaves on the trees, you get a fantastic view of the A9 in both directions. Jim was even driving his transit - so should stand out more than a sports car (for example). It only becomes dangerous when idiots get behind the wheel - and this guy not wanting to report the lorry driver simply beggars belief.

Simple case of - the lorry driver didnt wanna slow down for the junction - saw 1 way was clear and not the other and kept going
The lorry driver was simply driving witout due care and/or attention

OR, saw the transit coming in from the left (there is a good view of the road from quite a way back) & tried to adjust his approach speed in order to 'just' miss the back of the transit, slide in behind it & not lose any major amounts of speed.
I've not examined the vid in detail but the cam guy might've spotted the lorry coming out & erred on the side of caution by hitting his brakes - thereby spoiling the lorry driver's calculations so he ended up in front rather than behind?
Nice little game to play if you're on the load count & time is money. I wonder if they all play that game - hence the 'dangerous junction' moniker?

Utter Scum, When you see why
I'd be almost sure he's uninsured tooo
Ziggy
Just checked and it isn't insured on MID.
Report to the police, video should be enough to convict of using the vehicle, and careless driving.

Will call them tomorrow in hopes itll get somewhere
Is it 101 I shud ring?
Ziggy
You'd think that driving without insurance, MOT etc would make people drive in a way that didn't draw attention to themselves!
Report this idiot! :bang:

Quality isn't bad, defiantly better than nothing, what class sd card do you have in it? Also give the SD card a proper format on a computer not just a quick format and see if it helps.
What size/speed card is it? Mine started jumping when I put a 16gb card in. Had to go back go a 8Gb.
Thanks for the replies guys. The cards a 32gb.....no idea what class...or how to find out
I'm useless!!
The class / speed will normally be a number on the card in a circle (like 4/6 or 10)
Most of the cameras don't like big cards, should say what the size limit for the camera is on the description

Google a free prog called "sd formatter". Once you've run the card through this prog, you really should format the card in the device itself, the majority of cams are quirky about this (although they often run fine without formatting in cam!)
and heres the daily fail take, including better video
