The Dash cam thread

[erocker]

I take my cars to the track, so that port is a welcome addition. I'm holding off on a new camera until more with the new sensor are out.

LOL... something about proof reading?

How many mentals in the vehicle?

210 shipped for that Viofo A139 pro. Good deal, I went ahead and got it. Has three things I like, simplicity, can take a 512gb card and really nice video quality.

Hanging things from rearview mirrors is illegal in at least six other states: Minnesota; California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Texas

with what i see in customer vehicles, i can confidently say that that law is not enforced in Arizona, or at least not in Phoenix. might be one of those laws that police might pull you over for if you look suspicious, just like tint and not using your indicator for X distance before merging

anyways, i was gonna recommend the Blackvue DR750X-3CH Plus for those who want front, rear, and interior cameras, but it looks like it has been discontinued, but all of Blackvue's products are pretty good and their app works fairly well

In Texas, the state police (on the rural Interstates) look for a reason to pull you over, especially in a dry county.

We now have a second dash cam, a Thinkware U3000, using the Sony Starvis 2 sensor.

Looking forward to Vortex Radar reviewing this model.

This is also worth watching;

I do have dual cameras in my cars. Currently Viofo 2K (A129) and an older system Spytec A119 with UV filter.

I watched countless hours of footage and read numerous reviews, Viofo / Spytec were my best options price vs performance at the time they were ordered.

I consider cameras cheap insurance, especially in KY, there are drivers looking to get hit so they can sue you. They disable brake lights, willfully pull out in front of you, ect.

Video removes all questions or doubt.

That law also does not apply to dash cameras in CA. I bet all of those states have specific laws for dash cams at this point.

FYI... there is a 3rd dash cam now using the Starvis 2 sensor.
Vantrue N4 Pro (not to be mixed up with the older Vantrue N4)

I have never heard of this brand before.
Anyone have any experience with the older models?

Found it!

Pardon me if this sounds stupid but I have spent far to many years reading IBM and other manuals looking for the bit of information I needed to make my software work correctly. It appears the USB port come with the premium package. It's not really spelled out that it doesn't come with the premium dark horse model as they only mentions dark horse. I hope it will be on my dark horse because over the years I have had so many close calls from people cutting in front of me. Fortunately I was awake and the mustang braking prevented me from needing expensive body work. It would be nice to get pictures of the one that finally gets me. I have been nailed multiple times from the rear but normally there isn't much to debate when that happens.
