Thread: Crash Cameras

I've just fitted a Vicovation Opia2, takes pretty good video, night and day time.

Cheers,

I have the Blackvue in the D4, but front camera only. Have been very pleased with it. If you have a Traxide DBS installed, wire it to permanent power and it acts as a security camera for when you are not in the vehicle as well. Goes to "sleep" when the car hasn't been moved for a while, but is activated by movement.

Shaun has the same system, but with both front and rear cameras, in his Amarok. He is also pleased with his.

Would highly recommend them - but they are definitely not the only good one out there. I like the size and shape of the cameras themselves. Very discrete and easy to tuck up out of the way. Both of our front cameras are up behind the rear view mirror. From outside the car, you can't see that there is a camera there until it activates and a light starts flashing at you - by then, your photo has been well and truly captured.

I also have two black views in our private vehicles . Also fitted them to both our fire trucks .
Got mine from radar direct ...Perth ask for Rowan ...

If they've flogged the car or camera, taking their picture isn't much help.

Happy snaps for the tea leaves?

Yes but I wish I'd had the camera when some mongrel pinched my light bar a while back.

what's the difference between a "crash camera" and a go pro?

I think the crash camera is like a dashcam - something that sits on the dash or stuck to the window of your vehicle or something like that - were as a Go-Pro sits on your hat - for Cyclists or Skateboarders etc - I guess both would do similar things.
