Probably worth getting one to help with insurance matters. Also in the rare case something like this happens.

It would hopefully remove some of the he said she said type nonsense in an accident at least - will have a play with mine later and see if I can set it up better.

Using the Western Australian Surveillance Act as an example, you are not allowed to use a surveillance device to record visually a private activity, which is defined as:

"private activity means any activity carried on in circumstances that may reasonably be taken to indicate that any of the parties to the activity desires it to be observed only by themselves, but does not include an activity carried on in any circumstances in which the parties to the activity ought reasonably to expect that the activity may be observed;"

So a camera installed in a car is fine for Disco, as long as he is only recording what's happening on the road, and not driving into some chick's bathroom whilst she's having a shower

If only I could figure out a way to do that on the sly, you reckon a girl would notice that?

does this camera in anyway hook up to the speedo to show how fast your going on screen?

take a look at the youtuve channel - baddriversoz - bogan central, but his setup is pretty good.

side note - I was in my local officeworks in joondalup wa today, and over heard others asking about the camera, seems they're getting popular. The office works guy was still giving the speal that they were sold out of the better kind.

No I'm afraid not - most of the ones I've seen wont actually connect to the speedo but they do have an inbuilt GPS. This one being a cheaper does not have this feature - lets face it, it would incriminate most of us

I've since readjusted the position of the camera to try and eliminate any possible focus problems but it either sees the bonnet or the suction mount. I've tried a new video anyway, I'll check it tomorrow and see how it went.

I **MAY** buy the other model anyway, at which point I'll offer this one up for grabs and anyone wants it for the princely sum of nothing - I'll post in here if I go that way.

I have the same model LT is using, which likes to randomly stop recording which is a real PITA but when it does work the video is great

I am using a class 10 16GB verbatim but I am going to throw a 32GB card in and see how that goes
if its still rooted I might look at one of the onsitecamera units

I like the look of some of the china units but haven't done any research on any them

I'm just using a Class 4 8GB card, I did order the DVR though from Deal Extreme so christ knows when it will show up. Did you return the model for a replacement at all mudslid?

Must buy one of these, as a truck driver i see alot of funny stupid ****.

Just wondering if there's a legal gotcha in there somewhere. For some reason I can remember something about being able to record video or sound, but not both at the same time. We need the lawyer in here

I'm certain the ADR's prevented certain objects to be mounted on the dash/windscreen, it may pay to check out if your cam is compliant.

[Matty]

If it's in your impact zone it's a no go, which is anywhere outside the dash cluster.

This may be an over-simplified idea, but maybe you can check out where police dashcams are located on their vehicles and use that as an idea of where to put yours.
