Personally, I'm unimpressed with the quality of many CCTV recordings, and I'm seeing a huge variation in dash-cams (as on you tube etc) - Some worse than useless...

Normally you only get what you pay for, but sometimes - as in the Cheap UHF CB's on the communication thread, there are screaming bargains out there amongst the rubbish...

For starters, a two-channel - front & rear - seems to be the minimum ideal.

Comments & Suggestions ?

when you upload a dash cam footage to youtube it is compressed and serious quality loss.

here is some you tube footage from mine

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NypdWPu0AT4]BlackVue DR400 G HD (first test). LandRover Defender Td5 - YouTube[/ame]

and to compare the actual quality of the camera I uploaded a one minuite 37mb HD file straight from the camera.
to see it you need to download the following movie file then play it in your browser or quicktime player

also the e000 operator should be reviewed. i thought she was treating it like a prank call given her "blank" responses.

Are you aware that one of the previous posters in this thread is an ex-NSW bike cop? A nice bloke, too. Another poster is a serving SA copper.

The HD is good... was the first one your infamous '80 in a 60 zone' ?

People who steer red cars.....

yes, but officer, it used to be a 100 zone.
I actually got pulled over & booked for 80 in the same 60 zone coming the other direction about 3 months earlier. (by my neighbour I might add) its not exactly a busy road.
