Dash Camera

I got dragged along to a Screwfix road show at the weekend. I must admit at this point that the thought of being surrounded by the latest 'Power Tools' fills me with dread but the lure of a Full English after made me go.

I got chatting to the Manager at the Ring products stall and after careful negotiation and utilising my show special £30 discount card, i came away with this for £8.95.

Has anybody got any experience of this model or have i wasted my money.

PS. Zildjian, how do i fit it, i'm the Bloke with no tools!

don't know that one especially but plug it in, point it forward and forget about it

OK, will give it a go at the weekend.

(many) just require a switched power source ie; come on with ignition and go off again with key out.
usually they switch on but run on a few seconds later with key out to close off the recording properly and contain a small battery of their own to do this.

you should have a long power cable ending in a cigarette lighter, just plug that in as lighter is in fact switched usually.

it may require a small SD card (take it to PC world and get an 8GB card, that should allow it to record several days roadtrips before overwriting itself with fresh recordings

When someone crashes into you, take camera and post it to me in SAE so I can host it on youtube and link it here

Noticed this morning at she'll garage they have these on offer with fuel purchase cheap.

If they only plug in I might have one next time

That quality is not too shabby for the price.
