Brian Blaylock Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I know there has been discussion on here in the past but I wasn't paying attention but after a closer call than the usual this morning at an intersection I think I am in the market for a dash cam all suggestions welcome thanks Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyRebel Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Still got the box here in my truck...Cobra CDR840. Turn off the G-sensor or rough roads will fill up the 8G card in about a day. Continuous loop recording, so if it "saves" a file it just doesn't overwrite. With the G-sensor turned off, though, you'll have to physically push the button on the camera to get it to save. When it saves, it actually saves 2 files...the current file that is recording, and the file immediately preceding the incident. I have mine set for 3 minute files. The suction cup held the camera for a few weeks...until it didn't. Kept falling off the windshield yesterday and had to reposition it several times before I grabbed a handy-wipe and cleaned both the suction cup and the window where I was trying to stick it. Overall, it seems to be a good cam...I kinda wish it displayed the speed on the image, but then again sometimes you DON'T want that...so it's probably better this way. I had been considering the Garmin with the GPS...but it is $100 more and I never saw it anywhere but online. The local truck stop in Cape had the Cobra.

farmer52 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I bought a dash cam from Heartland for $40. Cam works but quality SUCKS big time....even on HD setting. Do not recommend. Put the money towards a quality cam. Personally I like the GoPro but they are pricey.
