Captain safety dash cam footage is followed with every single suggested video being hillclimb madness lol.
Seen that myself, but a lot of them seem to be in relation to faulty hardware which i have noticed is a common complaint about a lot of the cameras. Can buy through amazon Fulfilled in the uk so it should be easier to sort out if their is a fault.amazon reviews arent great
looks a great size though

Taken on my £20 dash cam from ebay.
Although it was uploaded onto my dads comp and recorded onto my phone.

That roundabout was the main reason I got the camera. That and the near head crash because some woman was on her phone.

The day my camera didn't work was the day I got overtaken by a motorcyclist doing a wheelie

I've never run it on anything other that the highest film quality setting. Personally I'd turn the g-sensor detection thing either off or to low. I had left mine on high and the camera had nearly filled the 32 gig memory card with 'events' which were me hitting bumps in the road, which in a Clio RS200 with cup pack happens pretty much all the time.

Do you guys have to press to record then? I think the one I ordered just records 3/5/10 minute loops and if anything happens then you remove SD card and they are all there. When it's full it overwrites the earliest recording. I imagine a 32GB card should be enough to cover most journeys. No ideal if something happens at the start and the end of a long journey as you may end up overwriting the earlier event?

On my memory card I have to make sure the loop runs fully before taking out the card otherwise it doesn't save atall.

Nope, the one I have (and @J-VW has) records constantly in small segments (can't remember the lengths you have to choose from) and will record until the card is full then it starts recording over the oldest saved recording. If anything happens you simply push an easily reached button on the camera that saves that segment as an 'event' that you have to delete yourself i.e it it won't automatically record over it. Also the camera has a g-sensor in it so if your involved in a crash then it automatically saves that segment as an 'event', or that's the theory anyway. Problem I had was that I had the g-sensor sensitivity set to high and the combination of our great roads and the Clios hard suspension ment that I had nearly 32gb of 'events'. I've now turned the g-sensor off so that's not an issue. Also the camera I have records for around 10 secs (though this is adjustable) after the power is cut to it (either as a result of turning the engine off or a crash).

Been looking at these recently.is there such a thing as a combined unit which would also work as a gps tracker?

Ive noticed similar on mine. As long as you let the unit turn off completely before removing the card it's fine and saves most recent.
Not sure why there is a little bit of lag.

I posted a link further back in this thread. Was a £20 job of ebay but it's a great piece of kit.
Edit: second post on the second page of this thread.

I've been running Blackvue's for a couple of years now.
I'd recommend buying a decent class 10 card as the one which comes with it isn't great. It may work fine forever, but the first one I had didn't so I changed it out and never had any further problems
