Privacy?

Off switch?

I bought this MAISI 1296P Dash Cam for around £80

Thanks all, settled on a Nextbase 312, good compromise on quality, features, price and decent reviews on the web.

I bought a MiVue from Halfords. Very pleased with it. Has speed cameras, G-force, emergency activation, night vision etc. The playback software is excellent too. Already used it to help someone claim on their insurance when they got clipped by a van in front of me.

I bought Nextbase 512G for around £130+, fixed it permanently at Halfords for £30 (including the kit and fixing charges). It is slightly higher priced compared to other models because of its high resolution and anti-glare (which I think is essential).

Looks like the price is now increased by around £20.

I find it very surprising in this day and age the don't make a product tiny standalone camera that feeds in to a unit in the glove compartment or hidden away in the electrics somewhere. One front and rear that's so small you can't see it. I'd like to have one permanently attached but none seem discreet enough to worry I'm inviting some scroat to nick it.

Have I just not researched well enough?

Probably time to buy a new car...lol. Surely, it will shift the focus from camera to the car :-)

I made a fixing that allows me to swing it back to the roof and make it less obvious.

PS Of course it does help to drive a tatty old van that nobody would think would have anything worth nicking.
