Anyone using a Dashcam?<br />I fancy getting one however having a quick look it seems I have a difficult criteria to meet.<br />Must hold charge for about 4 hours.<br />Must be easily removable from the suction dock so I can bring in every night and charge up. (Ie leave suction dock stuck to window in car)<br />Must not require any drilling or instalment<br />Don't want wires dangling or being tucked down panels etc.<br /><br />Does the one I want exist?<br /><br />Thanks in advance

I have a Blackvue, one in my Jag and an older one in my other car.<br /><br />Hardwired to an additional cig lighter socket I had installed, completely hidden behind dash but accessible if required.<br /><br />I did my Fiat myself but didn't trust myself with the Jag so paid for the Blackvue install option. Wires are completely hidden, minimal trim removal to fit (hard wired into fuse box on left side of dashboard).<br /><br />I didn't bother with the Magic Pro option (which leaves camera on the whole time, but switches off if battery voltage gets too low).<br /><br />The later ones have WiFi so you can connect directly to view footage (on my older one, you have to remove micro SD card which is mildly fiddly).<br /><br />I like the look of the Blackvue but plenty of other options such as Roadhawk, etc.
I have a Mobius hidden in behind the driver's mirror, virtually undetectable unless you really look (works both ways if you get pulled over for being silly) then have a very long Micro USB cable that is hidden in the windscreen lining, down through the door sill behind passenger seat and into arm rest lighter socket, nothing visible and no damage done to the car putting it in, you just need a plastic tool to push it into the lining<div><br></div>
Finally bought one.<br />It's got the motion sensor which I wanted for when the cars parked up. Powered by a battery so not drawing from the jag battery when parked up.<br />Seems decent for a relatively budget model. Came with the memory card included.<br /><br />http://www.amazon.co.uk/AUTO-VOX-FullHD-Recorder-Superior-G-sensor/dp/B019XN1T6S<br />
