Does anyone have a dashcam? Does it enhance your life in any

My chainsaw got stolen 2 years ago, now I have a front and rear one.

>>17539303

definitely worth
this bitch took half the paint off my bumper and would have injured her 12 year old kid that wasnt wearing a seat belt if i wasnt paying attention. she claimed to not see me. that kid was experiencing his first adrenaline rush. kid saw his short life flash before his eyes. was actually trembling when they opened the door.

then she denied everything and lied out her ass to the insurance companies

i never mentioned to her i have a cam
she was dropped by her insurance and may be facing fraud charges

i live in a hot climate so i opted for a cam without a battery. if you go cheap the batteries have been known to rupture and burn your car down.. mine has a small capacitor was $75 on amazon. a188c

>>17539360
What dash cam model have you got?

>>17539394
This is the real question right here.

WHICH DASHCAM IS BEST?

At my work we see dashcams in about half the cars that come in for service. The trouble is, ALOT of them are absolute crap. Terrible fields of view, terrible quality, bulky and impossible to tuck somewhere unobstructive...

Ideally, I would want something with a wide FOV, slim with an angled lense so it can fit closer to the windshield or actually part of the rear view itself, with a second lens at the rear window.

Wiring can be tucked behind the headliner. Power can be hidden behind the pillar covers and under the headliner aswell, I have no issues with this.
I just want a GOOD solution, that doesn't look like shit.

I have the "Yi Dashcam" that you can get on Amazon, best dashcam I owned so far for the money, only like $50 I think. Quality is great, the app actually works really well. Records in 3 min intervals, I believe it auto-writes over old footage so you don't have to constantly deleted old footage manually. Owned it for a few months, never had an issue or freezing issue. You just go to the app, find what chunk of footage you want to download, and it downloads straight to your phone and you can do whatever you want with it.

>>17539448
and yes it enhanced my life. My brother borrowed my car once and he had a fight with his gf in it and he forgot I had a dashcam installed, so I got to listen to the spicy fight lul.

>>17539441
I'm strongly considering the KDLinks R100, a NEXGADGET camera that's similar but only $60, the Papago Gosafe 268, Street Guardian SG9665GC, and BlackVue DR450-1CH.

Should I avoid any of these?

I'm only sure of the Blackvue and Street Guardian being able to take the heat in my car. It may get up to 120 degrees in there.

It's my magnum opus dashcam video, I'm trying to get enough footie to make my own comp and get fat cash from ad revenue since it's all my own content.

Should I get this dashcam?

I've got two A119S, front and rear. Very good quality.

Compared to the A119, it's got a better sensor but records at a lower resolution. Footage looks much better. It's also better at night.

Thinking of getting this one. I think it's an older model, but it's half price and seems to come highly recommended: amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00D8YP50A/?tag=ho01f-21

They should have 2 flash card slots, or
internal memory + flash card
So you can give the card to the police and retain a copy for yourself

>>17540036
If you get a microSD to USB adaptor and a USB to whatever your phone uses, you can pull files off it in the car.

For a few bucks you don't have to worry about someone lying about an accident. Got one after some deranged boomer ran into my parked car and blamed me. Won that battle with the insurance company as he was completely full of shit.

>Do you upload recorded footage on to the Internet?

No, only giga level faggots do that - my daily drive is boring. If you are uploading a vlog about assholes on the road you are probably the asshole.

>>17539303
>Do you upload recorded footage on to the Internet?
Some people do that as a record of isolated incidents or even crimes they spot with their dashcam. If you go browse Rate-Driver, you can see some webm evidence in some posts.

Example: driver trying to run over someone
http://rate-driver.com/wi/501wvv

Uploading such footage doesn't make you the asshole. But other assholes that regularly like to do asshole things will feel threatened that people can and do upload footage.

I use this dash cam in my DD. It's alright. The quality is decent up close but at speed or distance it has trouble focusing on license plates. The mount it comes with has literally melted in the sun on me, twice. Their support is solid, though. They sent me new mounts no questions asked. When I get home maybe I can link a sample video for you to peep.

>>17540145
why especially as a Lyft driver? if you're talking about shady passengers, wouldn't a dashcam fail to catch that as they face forward?

>>17541497
you can buy a 2 channel dash cam and just use the second one pointed at the cabin, and I believe there are models out there that have both cameras inside one unit for that very purpose

>>17539360
You were going rather quickly there. Know know, past that "WATCH OUT FOR CHILDREN" SIGN.

>>17539303
I do but haven't needed it yet. If I see something funny I might upload it why not. It does give a sense of security. Unless I cock up, then I'll eat the SD card

I want to get one just for the peace of mind I'll have from being less likely to be fucked over in the event of an accident.

I had installed a dashcam but I had a problem where it would only toggle its powerstate when I turned the car on. Like I turn car on, cam turns on, I turn car off, and cam stays on... Then I turn car back on and cam turns off, etc. So I removed it to troubleshoot it and I solved the problem, sort of, it was my cigarette lighter's fault but I have no other way to power it.

I don't know how to fix that and I have been too lazy to put it back in. I should do that.

>>17543262
Wish I could hide the wiring, had it set up sweet in my old car, tucked the wiring under the roof liner, in the passenger side pillar, into the dash and coming out from beneath the stereo so the only wiring you could see is where it plugged in to the cig lighter. Can't mount it li9ke that in my new car and it's doing my head in trying to find a way to tuck everything in.

I have a front and rear cam in my daily driver.

Severe road rage, idiocy, etc.

A side story...

Dude pulled up behind me in a Polaris Slingshot at a red light. I'm in the left lane that becomes the go straight lane. The right lane becomes right turn only. The light turns green but the next light a half block ahead is red. I accelerate slowly because why floor it for 100 feet then slam the brakes for the next light. The Slingshot jerks over into the right lane and floors it past me then jerks over, crossing my lane and promptly slamming his brakes as he enters the left turn lane.
As I pull up next to him he yells over "why da fuck er yew gein so slow?"
I roll down my window and tell him he should wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle.
This really pissed him off.
Hes like "it got seat belts n a steer ing wheel. I aint gotta wear shit, dumbass"
Then the light turned green before I could tell him that his 12000k police-blue HIDs were illegal.

I was at a carpark waiting to pull out but the girl in the spot im front was already reversing so waited to let her go.
She backed straight into my car, "omg sorry bla bla ill fix it" thought everything was cool.
Her and her retard dad basically tell me they are telling the insurance that i rear ended her so that i have to pay and i van basically go fuck myself.
Get a call from insurance saying im in shit for filing a false report. Luky i put a beast of a memory card in the cam and was able to find and send the fottage.

They ended up processing my claim in full, they also found security footage from the car park backing up dash cam footage.

She had to pay for everything and she is black listed from all car insurance companies kek

Fucksticks use that neighborhood as a high speed cut through to bypass traffic on the main roads. The people who live there are sick of their streets being used as basic bitches racing strips, running over dogs and cats, blowing through stop signs at 40 mph. Fuck them. Fuck anyone who speeds through neighborhoods. When cunts race up to my bumper in neighborhoods, I slow down to the exact speed limit and stop for a full 3 seconds at sto signs. This is where people, their kids, their animals live. Not a side street for you to roleplay Takumi on.

Will the whole city just fall apart if there's no traffic guards directing the flow at every intersection and random cops walking down the middle of every road?

Are capacitor types the way to go?

>cars and people go at the same time
Unlike Japan which has major intersection have all cars stop while all pedestrian crossings are full open, the USA is a car-based country with relatively poor (to Japan) mass transit. That's why cars and pedestrians all move in the same direction by taking turns. That way, some cars are always moving.

When I was in Tokyo and to a lesser bit in Osaka, I could get around without a car because the mass transmit was far superior to that in the USA. And zero worries about being mugged at the transit stations unlike in the USA!

Of course, there are some drawbacks. Picture shows an example of how train cars are overloaded by Shinjuku Station (Tokyo) staff physically shoving passengers tight like sardines into each train car. The staff fights hysteresis desperate before each new train comes in on an average of every 2 minutes. People have to be loaded in and doors closed and the train having left the station before the next one can arrive without crashing into the previous train. So a 2 minute separation is a desperately tight schedule on certain lines. Not every line is that tight though.

I'm tired of replacing the expensive Li-Ion batteries in the current dashcam. If a capacitor holds enough charge to keep the thing powered up for 10 minutes after I park, or to wake up and start recording if a car hits my car when it is parked (and power is off) then I like the capacitor version.

I actually have the A119S too
And it has the GPS module

BUT, the GPS is actually encoded into the video in a proprietary format.
They can NOT see the GPS data unless you tell them its there and use the Viofo program

Just dont hardcode the GPS data on the screen if you dont want to.
I do have the GPS showing in my videos, but I do NOT have the speed showing. I can always bring the speed up with the software in court if I need it.

I can understand not wanting speed to be shown, but how would having GPS coordinates be self incriminating?

I bought the A119S solely because its somewhat discreet. I couldnt deal with having something looking like a GPS handing off the windshield.

You quickly get used to seeing it there which is nice.

I can never get the time stamped date correct with my dashcam, whenever I set it it to the right date it goes off by a week or so in a few days

>>17561805
>but how would having GPS coordinates be self incriminating?
If it is not data that helps you, then it becomes data that can provide an opportunity for the opposition to twist it around and disqualify you or throw doubt on what you said. Lawyers are not seeking the truth in court. They are seeking to win their case.

>>17543343
>Like I turn car on, cam turns on, I turn car off, and cam stays on.

Check your settings to see if you have the "Parking Observer" mode on. Or whatever they call that mode which leaves the camera on for 5 to 10 minutes after you park the car. Since such a mode isn't named "Automatic Power Off" or "Power Mode Toggle" it isn't obvious that it can also control whether or not the cam uses the battery to stay on after the accessory socket power turns off.

>>17558228
>Capacitors only power the cam long enough to save the current file when you turn your car off.
Do they also make sure the correct time is used when I start the car again? I assume they provide power during the time it is not powered by the car. But if the time is forgotten in one day, that is too short a time limit for the capacitor.

>>17561765

So you rather further put yourself, him, and anyone possibly coming the opposite way in danger because you want to play cop? Fuck off retard. Call him a cunt and let him go on his way. One day you're going to do that shit to the wrong person and they're going to smack the shit out of you.

Not totally sure. I've noted the time in mine resets sometimes. If you drive frequently I think it keeps the time.

That sucks if the capacitor ones keep losing track of time. I don't want to have to recheck the time each time I get into the car. When it did forget the time for you, was that after at least one day of not driving the car? Or how long a time do you think needs to elapse before the capacitor model forgets the time?

Do you know of any reliable capacitor ones?

The timestamp resetting every so often doesn't bother me as it isnt really needed anyway. I noticed the time reset after several months, so there is some sort of timekeeping method. Maybe a small watch battery in there.

>>17565745
As an added note, some dashcams that support GPS might also sync the clock using the GPS signal. The specs for the Street Guardian SG9665GC V3 list "RTC : Real Time Clock" supported, so this may mean it can get the time from GPS? That is the cam that I personally want, due to the very high quality image.

It's your fault because your accuser feels personally threatened by people like you recording their misdeeds. Many people hate or feel personally threatened by surveillance especially if they like to be occasionally doing a misdeed when they feel the victim is the real person at fault.

It's the similar reason the black and hispanic communities in my major city complain whenever more surveillance cameras are announced or new laws get passed. They have their council member vote no, but so far they are still a minority vote (unlike places like Detroit in the 1980's and 1990's). They claim it's just more ways to racially harass them with lawbreaking citations and arrests. Years ago, when penalties increased for drug dealing, the activists claimed it was motivated by racial discrimination since more than 50% of those arrested for selling illegal drugs (marijuana is legal here, but heroin, lsd, and meth are still illegal) are black. Thus legal penalties created a racially discriminating situation. Obama's justice department investigated and found that to be true, so the laws didn't have their penalties increased because it would penalize blacks and mexicans more than it penalized other races.

What you can do with your dashcam footage that shows the license plate number is make little snippets and convert to webm. Then upload each webm to http://rate-driver.com and that will document that car's misdeeds for others to see.

>>17568534

>I believe you'll find that most states have statutes which grant traffic control devices installed on private roadways
That is FALSE in the state of washington. Police can only give traffic citations for official signs registered with the DOT. Official signs have the DOT sticker or stamp on the back of the sign along with its registration number when applicable. That's why police cannot give tickets for the stop signs and speed signs in my HOA community which the HOA put up.

But the private property owner can use the situation of the offender ignoring the signs to request the police to trespass the offender off the property. The offender must leave and if not, the police can issue a trespassing citation.

if GPS is enabled and the antenna is plugged in, then yes, it will set the time from the GPS. daylight savings time adjustment is not automatic so you have to change the offset from GMT/UTC in the settings once when DST begins and once when it ends each year, but it keeps the clock on your dashcam accurate well within a second.

>>17568171
the a118c is the best bang for the buck camera. the original a119 and a119s v1 have issues with their GPS mount that were only addressed with the A119S v2.

if the money is a huge factor, go with an A118C from a reputable seller. If you can spend the extra cash, the a119 has a bigger screen, friendlier layout, and the GPS mount for the power cord (regardless of whether or not you enable GPS in the options) makes things look a lot cleaner.

the a119s has the sony exmor sensor, which has much better performance in low light conditions. if you only drive in cities or suburbs with street lighting, the A118C or A119 (non-S) is fine, but if you live in an area and drive at night on streets without streetlamps, then I would spring for the A119S personally.

>>17565745
the battery is used to keep the time in models with a battery and the capacitor is used in models with a capacitor. Capacitors traditionally will lose the time if the cam doesn't receive power in a week, e.g. you have a car that kills the power to the dashcam with ignition off or shortly after. if you have a GPS model with the GPS antenna plugged in and GPS on, they will typically set the time initially and maintain the time from satellite timestamp.

>>17565141
see above reply. capacitors typically lose time if you don't drive within a week. GPS antenna mitigates this.

>>17562747
clocks on these devices drift, even $10 digital wristwatches at stores can drift by up to 15 seconds plus or minus a month. most digital clocks are not that accurate long term for keeping the time.

>>17561805
the GPS data is a really hard one to quantify. theoretically, it could help or hurt you. for a police conviction, the GPS in the device is not certified, so as far as helping/hurting you, it could be non-relevant there. in an insurance case, it might be different. it's harder to tell if GPS is on but not difficult to google, but dashcam ownership in the US is still relatively low. it's a risk, but I figure the importance of an accurate timestamp is more important than the risk of the GPS data being used against me.
(theoretically you could also use the frame rate and the known distance between two objects within a period of time to determine a speed too).

I have been wanting to invest in one. My friend told me it lowered his insurance by $30. I live in the trifecta of bad drivers living in a border city. We have shitty new Mexican drivers, Mexican drivers, and bad Texan drivers. My eyes are always peeled on the road for fear of one of those people hitting me. It's a free-for-all over here. On the plus side my defensive driving skills have gone up exponentially.

Is it usual to buy a dashcam and report it to your insurance company and hope for some lower rates?
Should I even bother telling them?

virtually no insurance companies offer discounts for dashcams, and if you have any reason to believe you are at fault in an accident, your insurance company might compel you to disclose the footage.

they tried to get it passed as a state law in New York for a 5% mandatory discount for a dashcam, but from what I heard that never went anywhere.

>>17571417
Insurance companies have a big time struggle with this dashcam now being part of some peoples fall back on getting out of situations like so. Given the fact of 5% was the only given leasure with the discount, there are many discrepancies that need to go through a valid system that they have still yet to make to avoid lawsuits on their end.

>>17571438
I think the main problem is that it's not reliable, someone who has a dashcam is likely to be a better driver but a lot of dashcams are cheap shit that die/stop recording, a lot of dashcams have piss poor notifications for when they're not able to record (A119/A119S excepted), constantly writing to a MicroSD card can wear it out, particularly if it is not a high endurance card (and most of the dashcams are made out of china and suffer recording issues due to incompatibilities on Samsung & Sandisk MicroSD cards), etc... not to mention if you don't hardwire the power to ignition, it's easy for the DC plug to just pop out of the outlet in your car and the camera to not come on.

>>17571587
most insurers will not give you a break for having a dashcam, but if you ever have an accident that's 0% at fault you would not pay deductible or face insurance premium hikes, and if you have an accident where it reduces your fault then it can lessen your liability/the impact.

e.g. if you make a left turn at an intersection when the light is green, and some idiot with a passenger in the car hits you, and they tell the cop that the signal was green for them, it's two against one without another witness there. whereas the dashcam can demonstrate that the light was green/conditions safe when you entered the intersection.

>shithead retains an attorney and claims whiplash etc. since my brother is majority at fault
>did I mention that shithead's dad is a doctor and shithead refused medical treatment when he was less than one hundred feet FROM A HOSPITAL (e.g. he went home and told dad about the accident and dad wrote him up the script)
>shithead settles with our insurance company. find out a couple years later that the settlement amount was $106,000 (my brother and I have the same prior addresses, and when I applied for a new auto insurance carrier it came up and they asked to make sure it wasn't me).

Forgot to mention shithead was doing almost twice the speed limit (physical crash evidence bore that out) up over the top of a hill (accident was a few feet before top of said hill).

A dashcam wouldn't have reduced my brother's insurance premiums BEFORE the accident, but as part of the claims process and determination of fault, it sure as shit would have played in the percentage of blame AFTER.

Shithead used his settlement money to get a Subaru WRX, which I hope he fucking crashes and dies in.

ugh, that's shitty, I'm actually moving from PA. People's driving isn't usually too bad here as long as you stay away from filthadelphia.

I'm definitely going to get some cameras, just have to figure out which ones.

Chinese companies are known to occasionally have "half price" or "discounted" specials to flush out returns, reconditioned, and defective models all at once.

It's a bit worrisome when you know more about the chinese parts supply market. Companies that make electronic parts have out of tolerance, "weak", and reject bad parts. But there is an active market for these parts that buys them up. Makes you wonder what products these parts end up in.

Capitalistic People look at accidents as opportunities to make money especially since court awarded damages aren't part of his income taxes. When opportunity knocks, WRX owners listen.

I had pictures from his facebook demonstrating that he lost the neck brace he needed for "permanent injury" right after getting his check and bouncing up and down a track in his subie. If our (prior) insurance company wasn't a total bunch of limp dicked pussies, they would have spent a few hundred on a PI to follow him, take some pics, and prove that he defrauded them.

Just because it's not illegal doesn't mean you're not a dickhead. The only example of nigger behaviour in that clip was yours.

Not capitalistic people. I'm very much a capitalist and I believe in earning money through hard fair work. Not by stealing it from someone else. That's not a capitalist, that's a thief and a shit person.

It sucks that these cases happen but our judicial system gets it right most of the time and is pretty good (in comparison to countries around the world) at weeding out injustice.

I have a Rexing v1. The day quality is alright but the night quality is terrible. I've had it for about a year and haven't caught anything noteworthy with it yet.

>weeding out injustice
The doctor and his son performing this insurance fraud as well as unjustly tarnishing Anon is justice in its own way. Those people doing the fraud probably feel they are justly taking advantage of the system that has unjustly taxed them or has not given them all the services they wanted. So they feel justified in doing what they did.

I find that a lot of criminals have no sorrow about what they did. When white collar criminals ever have sorrow, it is usually only for getting caught.

It is capitalism. It is just that you have your own version of how you perform capitalism. It is wrong to say that capitalism can only include fully legal acts within that specific society's cultural norms. Capitalism is independent of that.
