WTK: Dash Cam

[demogorgon15]

Hello,

I'm not sure were to post this but, I've been thinking about getting a dash cam for sometime now. Thanks to an incident yesterday evening where I wrongly received a ticket, my interests in getting one has been renewed. Does anyone sell / install dash cams locally and can any one offer reviews on the installed cams with regards to quality, ability to playback, ability to export still images etc?

even if you receive a ticket wrongly video evidence/pictures don't stand up in court.

^^^^correct so u wasting time.

[fouljuice]

you could still keep the footage for yourself, or send to ian alleyne or put it up on public sites to let people see what rubbish goes on.
you could probably try a GoPro HD

[pugboy]

you can carry a keychain camera to at least record your interaction with the cops

why not?

because trinidad's justice system is too "developed" for video evidence.

Hopefully soon it will be able to stand in court.

Video-tape evidence bill for Parliament shortly
By ANDRE BAGOO Wednesday, November 2 2011

LEGISLATION which will make it easier to submit video-tape evidence in court is to be tabled in Parliament in the coming weeks, Minister of Justice Herbert Volney said this week.

The Administration of Justice Bill, which will also introduce measures to replace the preliminary inquiry with a new High Court review procedure, has already been approved by the Cabinet’s Legislative Review Committee and is expected before Parliament.

Volney said the bill will contain provisions to make it easier to allow certain forms of evidence to be submitted in court.

“It will allow for certain forms of evidence to be admitted in evidence including video and audio recordings,” he said. “They are already admissible but there are some requirements. For example, you must have the maker and so on in court. This would make that process easier.”

Volney said he hopes the legislation will be debated in Parliament within weeks.

“It should be among the first bills set for debate,” he said.

Earlier this year the Government broadcast CCTV footage of reported gang members in Port-of- Spain committing what appeared to be murders and robberies. However, the Government said the video evidence could not be admitted in court because the victims were not willing to come forward.

While the Administration of Justice Bill deals with the issue of videotape footage, it does not currently address the question of the broadcast of such footage on television, Volney noted.

“I don’t think that it directly addresses that issue,” he said. “However I expect that to be an issue to be raised in the debate.” Volney would not express a view on the question of the legality of the recent broadcast of footage which purported to show a minor being raped on prime-time television, saying he had not seen the footage in question. The matter, he also said, is one for the Ministry of the Attorney General. This week the Rape Crisis Society condemned the airing of the video.

The Administration of Justice Bill will be among a suite of legislation which is aimed at reforms of the criminal justice system. It is to be tabled alongside a new DNA Bill to overhaul the current DNA legislation and the Monitoring of Offenders Bill, which is to introduce the practice of electronic tagging of prisoners.

[3stagevtec]

Any new reviews / suggestions on a good dash camera? The GoPro is a great camera but not ideal imo to use as a dedicated, permanently installed in car camera.



I'm seem some great night recordings in some of those Russian driving vids.. Wanna get a cam with good low light capability

^^^Those prices aren't bad at all.

OP, this is what you looking for ...

[clone101]

I got this 1 a while back work good for the price...

[sMASH]

^^ upload a vid from it please, preferably one where the vehicle is moving. lets see how good it really gets.

[NLVA200]

This is the one I use. Works like a charm.

It doubles as a wide angle rear view mirror and the screen is built in. Very discreet. A 32MB SD card holds about 3 hours of footage and the oldest files get written over automatically. Starts recording automatically when you start the car, stops when you shut it off, after the time you set. Also you can set it to record when any vibration occurs when you're away from the car.

Have that same one clone101 posted. It's a decent price (between US$20-$25), but there are a couple drawbacks:

*It's bulky, so there are major limitations to where you can mount it. It can be very distracting or may block your view of things on the road if you don't pay attention. While the mount will fit behind the rearview mirror or behind the sun visors, the camera hanging from it will not. This is a major issue for me.
*It's not HD quality, even though it says it is. In fact at it's highest setting, the image quality is quite grainy, even in the day.
*Infrared is useless at night looking out the glass - it reflects off the windscreen and blinds the camera
*It has a VERY narrow field of view - only about 90* even at it's widest setting. The specs say 120* but it is not that wide. If you mount on the windscreen, you won't see very far to the left or right. This is my biggest complaint with it.

They're all chinese made, so they're all the same just with a different brand name. Bear the above in mind if you're looking at this particular one.

i have mines two yrs now. just like clone101. weird, today it just blew. i am actually surprised it lasted so long in the trini sun. well worth the price

Below is a sample of my F500LHD in 1080p (adjust the video resolution to 1080p and watch full screen). Most of them are late evening and rain clouds, so light not good. At 0:20 shows full daytime light. Got it from Aliexpress for US$91 (plus skybox shipping charges) using one of the recommended links in the article below, to make sure I get an original and not a fake. I get a little more than 8 hours on 1080p before video cycles on a 32 GB card. For the price, the video quality is pretty decent and can make out number plates at reasonable distance, but I still don't like those heavy compression artifacts I seeing. Night vision not too good. Cannot make out number plates at all in the night, but at least it captures the action. For that price, I'm satisfied. From all my research, getting a dash cam with better video quality than this means significantly more money. Don't know if any recent cams offer better quality/price value.
